The German Emissions Trading Authority

The German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHSt) at the German Environment Agency (UBA) is the competent national authority for implementing the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and National Emissions Trading Scheme (nEHS). In addition, we are the point of contact for international climate protection projects and issues relating to the voluntary carbon market.

Our tasks are as varied as they are complex. That is why we would like to provide you with basic information and frequently asked questions here.

Understanding the European Emissions Trading System

The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS 1) operates on a market economy basis to reduce emissions of climate-damaging gases in Europe.

Understanding nEHS

With national emissions trading, Germany introduced another climate protection instrument in 2021 to reduce emissions, especially in the heating and transport sectors.

Understanding electricity price compensation (SPK)

Electricity price compensation for emissions trading-related indirect CO2 costs (SPK) intends to maintain the international competitiveness of electricity-intensive companies.
