InfothekCan I be compensated with certificates or benefits regarding CO2 savings that I make through private photovoltaic systems or hydropower plants?

Information library 009Answer

No credit notes, credits or refunds from technology projects such as the examples mentioned here are permitted for the fulfilment of surrender obligations in national and in European emissions trading. The monitoring and reporting regulation (EU 2018/2066) and the Emissions Reporting Ordinance (EBeV 2030) only consider biogenic proportions in fuels to reduce the surrender obligation. Therefore, reducing surrender obligations by linking CO2 reductions from climate protection projects cannot be recognised in emissions trading.
