The German Emissions Trading System is an adjacent system to the EU ETS. It covers heating and transport sectors. The obligation to surrender emission certificates lies on the distributors of fuels. They are obliged to submit
1 National emission certificate for each 1 CO2 tone emitted
TAKE ADVANTAGE
- IF YOU PURCHASED 90% OF THE CERTIFICATES TO BE SURRENDERED FOR THIS TRADING PERIOD IN THE PREVIOUS CALENDAR YEAR, YOU CAN BUY THE REMAINING 10% IN THE FOLLOWING CALENDAR YEAR AT PREVIOUS YEAR’S PRICE.
- BUT IF YOU HAVE NOT, WE CAN HELP YOU SOURCE CERTIFICATES BELOW €30.
