Lead Partners of a project activity may submit the form to issue UER certificates within their account in the UER registry. In particular, the amount of upstream emission reductions attained and the verification period must be specified. Furthermore, the declarations provided for in § 19 (2) UERV must be submitted. This information is recorded electronically within the UER registry. - Submission of the verification report and the relevant monitoring report
The verification report and the underlying monitoring report must be submitted to us by the verification body. The verification report must contain a written confirmation that the project activity has resulted in the verified upstream emission reductions within the verification period.
Regarding emission reductions attained in 2021 the verification body must confirm to us that these reductions are not offset simultaneously against the nationally defined contributions that have been assumed by the host state or by third countries in accordance with the Paris Agreement.
The reports can be sent to us via VPS. Please use the message type “UERV verification report”. The message must be sent with a qualified electronic signature. Further information can be found on the pages linked below.
Alternatively, the verification opinion with a clear reference to the verification report can also be signed by hand by Verification Body as a separate document and sent to us by fax or mail (post). The two reports can then be sent by simple email to uerv-info@uba.de. - Submission of the Guarantee Document
