InfothekDoes UBA issue certificates so that I can use my national climate protection successes in emissions trading?

Information library 006Answer

The German Environment Agency itself does not issue certificates for emission reductions or carbon sequestration. No credits from climate protection projects can currently be used in either European or national emissions trading systems. But credits can be traded on the voluntary market where certified emission reductions or sequestration are traded that have been achieved and verified in climate protection projects according to certain standards. Information on the voluntary market can be found on our thematic site.

There you can also find the requirements we place on environmental soundness of approaches, certification and the use of certificates.
