National Emissions Trading (nEHS)

Your partner for the National Emissions Trading (nEHS) – reliable, thorough and practical

In the National Fuel Emissions Trading (nEHS), we support both corporate officials who, as “fuel distributors,” are subject to the Fuel Emissions Trading Act (BEHG), and plant operators regulated by the EU Emissions Trading System. For EU ETS plant operators, specific demarcation and implementation issues arise, such as when fuel use, interfaces with suppliers, or potential exemption criteria need to be assessed.

We help ensure that the requirements of the BEHG are met reliably and efficiently—from emissions reporting and monitoring plans to communication with the DEHSt and the procurement of CO₂ allowances. In this way, we support decision-makers with a robust foundation for decision-making, efficiently designed processes, and expert assistance with reporting, applications, and allowance procurement.
