InfothekAre firewood dealers permitted to charge a CO2 charge for pellets used for pellet heating systems?

Information library 010Answer

Firewood traders may only transfer the national emissions trading costs (CO2 charge) to their customers if they themselves are subject to Fuel Emissions Trading Act (BEHG) reporting and surrender obligations and must themselves surrender nEHS certificates for firewood placed on the market. However, since wood products placed on the market are not accompanied with an energy tax obligation under the current legal situation, nor do they come under BEHG obligations, firewood traders are not permitted to charge additional CO2 costs for pellets destined for pellet heating systems.
