The German Emissions Trading System (in German: Nationales Emissionshandelssystem, or nEHS) is an adjacent system to the EU ETS. It covers the heating and transport sectors in Germany. The obligation to surrender emission certificates lies with the distributors of fuels. They are obliged to purchase and submit 1 National emission certificate for each CO2 tonne emitted.
