InfothekAre revenues from national emissions trading broken down by sectors heat and transport, private consumers and companies?

Information library 003Answer

Information about the 2021 amount and use of revenues from the national Emissions Trading System (nEHS) can be found in our press release linked below. However, it is not possible to break down the revenues by economic sector or end user, since the obligated parties as per BEHG are fuel distributors, who generate the revenues through their emission allowance purchases. Distributors are often unaware of the economic sectors where the fuels are ultimately used. Distributors are generally fuel wholesalers, fuel manufacturers with wholesale distribution, and companies that import fuels into Germany and then deliver them to end users or other companies. This means that companies or citizens who use these fuels for heating or transport do not have to participate in the nEHS themselves.
