UER certificates are certified upstream emission reductions attained by an UER project, that has been approved by the German Environmental Agency.Companies that commercially market or store fossil fuels in Germany and are subjects to taxation under the Energy Tax Act must comply to greenhouse gas reduction quotas based on EU law. Companies marketing liquid fuels in Germany are legally obliged to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of these fuels. This obligation is based on the EU Fuel Quality Directive (EU) 2015/1513. Obligated parties can meet up to 1.2 percentage points of their quota by UER certificates from 2020 onwards. The Biokraftstoffquotenstelle (biofuel quota body) reviews the calculation of the quota and supervises the compliance with the obligations.
