VET reports

List of installations

In the fourth trading period, we publish a current list of stationary installations subject to emissions trading in Germany in the middle of each year. We use the same data basis that we use for the report on greenhouse gas emissions from installations subject to emissions trading in Germany, which is published annually in mid-June.

VET reports

Since the start of emissions trading in 2005, we have published an annual report on greenhouse gas emissions from stationary installations in Germany that are subject to emissions trading - the so-called VET report. VET ("Verified Emissions Table") refers to the verified emissions in the Union Registry, on which the evaluations in the VET report for the respective current reporting year are based. Since 2011, the report has also included a section on emissions from aviation in emissions trading.

The report provides a comprehensive overview of the German emissions of individual sectors in the stationary sector and in aviation as well as their allocation situation.

Auctioning reports

In addition to a detailed evaluation of German auction results, our auctioning reports also contain a comprehensive overview of developments on the secondary market. The reports also include monthly data on available OTC trading volumes. The inclusion of these data provides a more complete picture of the overall market volume in EU-Allowances () trading.

Market Surveillance

In order to guarantee a reliable market environment free of manipulation on the EEX, continuous surveillance is conducted by an independent Market Surveillance Office (Handelsüberwachungsstelle, HÜSt), as required under German law. The HÜSt regularly sends internal reports to the DEHSt with updates on their surveillance activities.
