EU ETS 2 for buildings and transport
The European Emissions Trading System 2 (EU ETS 2) is a new stand-alone system for buildings, road transport and other sectors. The following pages provide you with information on the national implementation of the reporting phase, in which the reporting and surrender obligations in the nEHS continue to apply in parallel with the reporting obligation in the EU ETS 2. In addition, we provide you with an outlook on the definitive regime in which the EU ETS 2 will launch in full.

We actively engage with the press to communicate statutory tasks, results, findings and experiences to the general public. On request, we also arrange interviews and background talks with our experts.
In particular, companies already participating in the National Emissions Trading System (nEHS) will receive an initial overview of the legal basis, scope and obligations during the reporting phase, where obligations apply in parallel under the nEHS and EU ETS 2.
The emission certificates in the EU ETS 2 are auctioned in full. Despite the postponement of the start of the definitive regime by one year to 2028, the auctioning of emission certificates will take place with “early auctions” from January 2027.
