German Emissions Trading Authority

Union Registry

On the one hand, the Union registry contains the section of the European Union (EU), in which all processes and transactions of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS 1) take place. This is where the installation, aircraft operator and maritime operator holding accounts are located as well as trading and verifier accounts of the EU ETS 1. On the other hand, there is the Kyoto section, in which the national Kyoto registries of the respective EU member states are kept. In this area, each Member state has its own national accounts and accounts under the Kyoto Protocol.

The Union Registry is centrally operated by the European Commission that developed it. The administration of the accounts is carried out by the respective Member States by processing account applications, checking the required evidence for account opening and also being the users' contact for any questions that may arise.

In Germany, the German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHSt) at the Federal Environment Agency is responsible for this.

General information

The legal framework is set out in the EU Registry Regulation (EU) 2019/1122. The EU Union Registry serves as a verification tool for installation and aircraft operators participating in the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS 1) with regard to their obligations under the EU ETS 1.

It is an electronic database in which the possession of EU allowances and Kyoto certificates is recorded in accounts. For this purpose, EU allowances can be transferred between accounts in the EU Union Registry. The EU allowances and Kyoto allowances exist exclusively in electronic form.

The EU Union Registry is not a trading platform on which supply and demand for EU allowances are brokered.

European Union Transaction Log (EUTL)

The EU publishes a lot of information on the EU ETS 1 on the EUTL page. For example, participants, allocation quantities and compliance status of installations, aircraft and shipping companies are listed here.

Account

1. Registering of authorised representatives

When applying for an account in the Union registry, at least two authorised representatives must be named. An exception is made for verifier accounts; for this account type, only one authorised representative is sufficient.


Authorised representatives of EU-100 accounts can have the following roles:

  • Initiator: This person can initiate transactions and processes
  • Approver: This person can confirm initiated transactions and processes
  • Initiator/Approver: This person can both initiate and confirm transactions and operations, but not those initiated by themselves
  • Authorised persons with read-only access

EU 100 accounts (except verifier accounts) require one of the following combinations as a minimum configuration:

  • Initiator + Approver
  • Initiator/Approver + Approver
  • Initiator + Initiator/Approver
  • Initiator/approver + initiator/approver

Validator accounts only require authorised account holders with the roles of initiator or initiator/approver. Both can enter and confirm verified issues.

16/01/2024



2. Account opening in the Union Registry

Accounts administered by Germany must be opened in the German section of the Union Registry. The following account types can be selected when applying for an account:

  • Operator holding account
  • Aircraft operator holding account
  • Maritime operator holding account (from 2nd quarter 2024)
  • Trading account
  • Verifier account

If the installation subject to emissions trading is located in Germany or if the aircraft operator or shipping company is assigned to Germany through the Administering Member States list, the operator holding account, aircraft or maritime operator holding account must be opened in the German section of the Union Registry.

The user manual of the Union Registry is only available to registered authorised representatives. You will receive a link to the manual after your initial registration.

You require the German Union registry user ID (Union Registry Identification Number (URID)) of the authorised representatives when appointing them. The Union Registry Identification Number (URID) always begins with DE. This is why anyone appointed for the first time as an authorised representative must initially perform the following steps 1 and 2.

16/01/2024





Step 1: Registering at the EU Login Authentication Service

New authorised account holders must first create an account with the EU Login authentication service.

For this you need

  • a self-chosen password (taking into account the given password rules)
  • an e-mail address (actual identification feature)
  • a mobile phone number
  • the "EU Login" app installed on the smartphone or tablet, available for iOS (Apple), Android and Windows, including subsequent initialisation (after successful login to EU Login (via "Gear wheel top right > My account > Manage my mobile devices > Add mobile device")

16/01/2024



Step 2: Creating a user ID (URID) in the Union Registry

After successful online registration with the EU Login, future authorised account holders must generate a user ID (Union Registry Identification Number (URID)) in the Union Registry. The URID is specific to each Member State. This means that although they can use their EU Login account for accounts in different member states, they need a separate URID in each member state. When you log in to the German part of the Union Registry for the first time, you will therefore be asked to enter your personal details. The system then assigns the individual German URID (starting with DE).

If an authorised representative in Germany is named for the first time and assigned to an account, we check their identity using the documents to be submitted in writing with the account application (step 4). Once we have confirmed the nominated person, we will send them an enrolement key by post to complete the account opening process (step 5), which must be entered to fully activate access in the Union Registry.

In the part of the Union Registry administered by Germany, only persons with a German URID can be nominated as an authorised representative.

16/01/2024



Step 3: Applying for an account

In order for the online account application form to be filled out correctly and completely, the procedure explained in the following documents must be known. The Union Registry's online form does not allow for intermediate storage, which is why you should only start filling in the form once all the data is complete.

The following account types are available in the Union Registry.

  • Operator holding account
    Operators of an installation subject to emissions trading require an operator holding account in the German section of the Union Registry. This account is used to prove that the installation complies with the EU ETS 1 obligations.

  • Aircraft operator holding account
    Aircraft operators assigned to Germany by the Administering Member States list require an aircraft operator account in the German section of the Union Registry. This account is used to prove that the aircraft operator complies with the EU ETS 1 obligations.

  • Maritime operator holding account
    It is not yet possible to open a maritime operator holding account. We advise against provisionally opening a trading account, as this involves separate fees and considerably more documentation. A trading account cannot be converted into a maritime operator holding account at a later date. The document linked below lists the steps you can take now in preparation for opening a ship operator's account.

  • Trading accounts
    Trading accounts can be opened by legal and natural persons in the EU-section of the Union Registry. From these accounts no allowances can be surrendered to fullfill the obligation of operations.

  • Verifier accounts
    Verifier accounts are used exclusively for verifiers to access the Union Registry. No allowances can be held on these accounts. Only accredited verifiers can open a verifier account in the Union Registry. Installation or aircraft operators and shipping companies must assign a verifier to their account. This assignment must then be confirmed in the Union Registry by the verifier or their authorised representative. Only once this has been done can the verifier enter or confirm the verified emissions in the Union Registry for the corresponding installation, aircraft and maritime operator holding accounts.

16/01/2024



Step 4: Submitting the account application and supporting documents

To complete the online application for the account, the Union Registry will send a PDF file containing the details of the application to the email addresses of the authorised representatives specified in the online application. The file must be sent to us together with the required supporting documents (see the relevant information documents). The file is sent electronically via the Virtual Post Office (VPS). Alternatively, the PDF file can be sent to us by post for trading accounts. Please note that the printout is legally binding and must only be signed by persons legally authorised to represent the company.

16/01/2024



Step 5: Entering the enrolment key

Once the authorised representatives have been named and the account application documents have been submitted to us in full, we will check their identity. If this check is successful, they will receive an enrolement key by post, which they must enter via the "Enter your enrolement key" link when logging into the Union Registry for the first time.

The authorised representatives are then fully activated and have access to the opened account.

Verification of identity and entry of the activation key are only necessary when the person is activated for the first time in relation to their URID. If the person is named for further accounts, the same URID should therefore be used as for the online application. The URID and the activation key are only valid for the area of one member state. In contrast, access to the EU Login can also be used in areas of the Union Registry administered by other Member States.

To log in to the Union Registry, always use the Union Registry homepage.
You need the direct link to the EU Login homepage in order to be able to update EU Login data (such as mobile device or email address).

Annual confirmation of the account information

According to Article 22(4) of the Registry Regulation (EU) 2019/1122, account holders must confirm at the end of the year that all account information is "complete, up-to-date, accurate and true". This applies to EU-100 accounts, i.e. installation, aircraft, maritime operator holding and trading accounts in the EU ETS 1, as well as to personal accounts in the national Kyoto registry, so-called DE-121 accounts and verifier accounts.

Please use the following form for the annual confirmation. If the accounts have the same account holder (with same account holder ID), you can also enter several accounts.

Confirmations for the current year are accepted from 01/10 to 31/12. Details for accounts opened after 01/10 do not need to be confirmed until the following year.

Please bear in mind that a missing confirmation can lead to the account being blocked.

16/01/2024





Account Closure

The closure of a person holding account (DE 121 account) or trading account (EU 100 account) can be requested online in the Union Registry at any time, provided there are no certificates in the account. An authorised representative clicks on "Close" in the "Account details" tab and then on "Confirm account closure". An application number (identifier) is then displayed, which must be entered together with the account identifier and the name of the account holder in the "Application for account closure" form.

You have two options for sending the completed account closure application to us:

  • Sending via the Virtual Post Office (VPS)
  • Sending by post (Please note that the printed version of the application must be signed by the authorised representatives of the account holder).

The account closure only becomes effective once the registry administration has confirmed it. The Union Registry will inform the authorised representatives of the account closure by email. This contains the application number (identifier).

Authorised representatives with the Approver role (for EU-100 accounts) or additional authorised representatives (for DE-121 accounts) cannot initiate account closure.

16/01/2024



Further account information

Change of operator

If the installation operator changes, the previous and the new operator must notify DEHSt of the transfer immediately and submit the documents listed below:

  • A letter notifying DEHSt of the change of operator
  • A joint takeover declaration signed by the authorised representatives of the previous and new operator
  • A current extract from the commercial register of the new operator, if this is not already available to DEHSt
  • A completed form "Changing Operators of an Operator Holding Account", taking into account the instructions for completing and sending the form

After checking the documents received, DEHSt will, if necessary, set up a trading account for the previous operator to which the existing authorisations in the account will be transferred. The installation account will then be transferred to the new operator.

In the event of a change of operator, it is the responsibility of the previous and new operators to make arrangements regarding the transfer of allowances already issued to each other and corresponding dispositions in the Union registry.

The new operator receives the future expenditure and is responsible for fulfilling the obligation to surrender.

Account identification codes

The account identification system in the Union Registry differs from that of other Kyoto registries outside the Union Registry. In the Union Registry, the account identification codes of both EU ETS 1 and Kyoto accounts consist of different elements. The following illustration shows the differences between the systems. This information is only relevant for person holding accounts (DE 121 accounts).

Account fees

The following fees apply to person holding accounts in the national Kyoto registry and trading accounts in the Union registry:

Account opening fee: 393.00 euros
Account maintenance fee for the entire trading period: EUR 649.00
Change of name of the account holder: 281.00 euros
Change of account authorisation: 280.00 euros
No separate fees are charged for transactions.

16/01/2024

Allowances and Kyoto certificates

Allowances under the EU Emissions Trading System are called EU Allowances (EU-Allowances (EUA)). Their equivalents in the international context at UN level are known as Kyoto certificates, of which there are different types.

Allocation of allowances and their use for surrendering

Operators with a positive allocation decision receive the annual allocation quantity of allowances to their account from us by 30 June each year through an allocation transaction. Installation and aircraft operators and shipping companies receive EU Allowances (EU-Allowances (EUA), General Allowances), aircraft operators receive EU Aviation Allowances (EU Aviation Allowances (aEUA)) (Aviation Allowances, also referred to as EUAA). (Aviation Allowances, also referred to as EUAA). From 2025, EU-Allowances (EUA) (General Allowances) will also be allocated to aircraft operators. EU Aviation Allowances (aEUA) will remain in the system, however, and can also be used by operators to surrender them in the future.

Allowances are valid from the start of the trading period for which they are issued. This means that EUAs/aEUAs can be surrendered for emissions in any year of the corresponding trading period and future trading periods, regardless of the year in which they are issued. This provision also applies to allowances from linked systems, including CHU and CHUA from the Swiss emissions trading system.

Installation and aircraft operators as well as shipping companies must submit the verified emissions report on their emissions from the previous year to DEHSt by 31 March each year.

The verifiers must also enter the verified emissions for the previous year for the installation, aircraft operator or shipping company in the corresponding account of the Union Registry by 31 March. In order for the verifier to be able to do this, it is necessary for operators to assign the verifier to their account in the Union Registry (see above). The verifier must then confirm the assignment and can then make the entry or confirm an entry. The verified emissions can also be entered by an authorised representative of the operator holding account, whereby the value entered must always be confirmed by the verifier.

By 30 September of each year, installation operators, aircraft operators and shipping companies must surrender a number of allowances corresponding to the actual emissions (in tonnes) of the previous year through their authorised representatives. This is done in the form of a separately labelled transaction (surrender) from the corresponding installation, aircraft or maritime operator holding account. Through the surrender transaction, the operators prove the necessary number of allowances that they need to cover the emissions they have caused. Shipping companies will only have to cover 40 per cent of their emissions in 2024 with a surrendering transaction and 70 per cent in 2025.

EUAs, aEUAs, CHUs and CHUAs can be used by installation and aircraft operators as well as and shipping companies for surrendering.

16/01/2024



EUA and aEUA can only be held in EU Accounts and in accounts of linked systems

No transactions with allowances can take place between accounts of the EU ETS 1 and Kyoto domains in the Union Registry (or other Kyoto registries). Transactions with EU Allowances (EUA) and EU Aviation Allowances (aEUA) are restricted to the EU ETS 1 domain. In addition, they can also be transferred to accounts of linked systems and held there. This includes the Swiss emissions trading system. This means that EUAs, aEUAs, CHUs and CHUAs can only be held on accounts whose account identifier begins with EU-100 or CH-100.

16/01/2024



CERs and ERUs are restricted to Kyoto accounts

Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) and Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) can only be held and transferred to accounts in the Kyoto system, such as the DE-121 accounts (person holding accounts) of the German Kyoto Registry. Transfers to EU ETS 1 accounts (EU-100 accounts) are not possible. In addition, external transactions between person holding accounts of different Kyoto registries (e.g. between a DE 121 account and a FR 121 account) are no longer possible since 09/09/2023. This means that only voluntary cancellations, internal transactions to other DE 121 accounts and distributions from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) are possible from these accounts. This functionality will probably be available until 01/2026. This means that only voluntary cancellations, internal transactions to other DE 121 accounts and issuances from the CDM registry will be possible from these accounts. This functionality is expected to be available until 31/12/2025.

Security

The following security rules apply to the Union Registry. Authorised representatives can themselves contribute a great deal to a secure overall system through correct behaviour.

Your personal password

Logging in to the Union registry is done via a separate service, the "EU Login". You can set your own password when setting up access. It can be changed at any time.

The password should never be disclosed to third parties. It must always be kept secret.

16/01/2024



2-Factor authentication

For login to the Union Registry Authorised Representatives need:

  • Username
  • Password
  • the EU login app installed and initialised on a mobile device

Each time you log in to the Union Registry, after you scan the QR code, the EU Login app generates a string that is needed to complete the login.

For more information on how to use the EU Login app, see the document below.

16/01/2024



Secure handling of the 2-factor authentication

Do not use the same device on which the EU Login app is installed to access your account in the Union Registry. Only the use of two different end devices, such as a computer and a mobile phone, guarantees a higher level of security.

  • The EU Login app is also used to confirm transactions. To do this, you must scan the QR code displayed when the app is started and then enter the character string displayed in the Union registry.
  • The user name and password should not be stored on the mobile phone used for the EU Login app. If your mobile phone is lost or stolen, a fraudulent person could log in to the Union Registry using your ID and carry out transactions.
  • Protect your mobile phone and computer against access by third parties using a PIN, fingerprint or other (biometric) security functions.

16/01/2024



Authenticity of the Union Registry website

So you can be sure you are on the Union Registry website, these sites have a special certificate. You can verify the authenticity of the page with this certificate e.g. by clicking on the lock icon in the status bar in your browser (lock icon > Connection secure > More information > View Certificate).

The certificate must contain exactly the following information:

  • Subject Name – Locality: Brussels, Organisation: European Commission, Common Name: *.unionregistry.ec.europa.eu
  • Issuer Name – Country: BE, Organisation: GlobalSign nv-sa, Common Name: GlobalSign RSA OV SSL CA 2018
  • Validity – Not before 23/10/2023, Not after 20/07/2024
  • Fingerprint SHA-256: 58:E1:28:68:DF:75:27:4D:3E:9F:0E:72:BF:96:E8:3D:F0:45:8E:A9:99:48:6A:A3:CE:A6:15:AF:A7:52:07:A3

The EU Login pages also have a special certificate. The most important information is as follows:

  • Subject Name – Locality: Brussels, Organisation: European Commission, Common Name: *.unionregistry.ec.europa.eu
  • Issuer Name – Country: BE, Organisation: GlobalSign nv-sa, Common Name: GlobalSign RSA OV SSL CA 2018
  • Validity – Not before 19/06/2022, Not after 20/07/2023
  • Fingerprint SHA-256: 5C:8F:7E:E9:1C:D5:27:8E:AB:AF:27:62:7F:9A:5B:F6:BB:88:B2:35:2B:5E:3C:AD:6F:F2:38:C2:9A:56:C6:61

URL

When logging in and entering data, always make sure that the address of the Union Registry is shown in the address bar of your browser. The domain of the European Commission will be highlighted (unless this function has been disabled in the browser settings), e.g.

https://unionregistry.ec.europa.eu/euregistry/DE/index.xhtml

If you are not absolutely sure that you are on the correct website or anything else seems strange (unusual messages, display of blank pages, unusually long loading times and the like), you should immediately terminate the connection and login again.

16/01/2024



Logging out of the protected account area

The protected area should always be accessed by logging out via "Log out" in the top right-hand area of the Union registry. To log out completely, the "Log out" button must also be used for the EU login.

16/01/2024



Security Updates

Security updates for the operating system, browser and other installed programmes should be installed regularly and immediately. The use of anti-virus programmes with the latest definition files is a matter of course and serves to ensure the security of the IT system.

Studies about money laundering risks in emissions trading

The prevention of money laundering also plays a role in emissions trading. In order to be able to provide information on the risk of money laundering in emissions trading, DEHSt commissioned two empirical studies. The first study (UBA Texte 01/2020) attempted to assess the general risk of money laundering in emissions trading in Germany by asking account holders and authorized representatives about their experiences, assessments and prevention measures. In the second study (UBA Texte 08/2023), persons from other EU ETS 1 member states were then surveyed.

The interviews in both studies reported a significant number of suspected cases of money laundering, from which a large dark field of unreported suspected cases can be estimated. To curb the risk of money laundering, the study therefore makes certain recommendations. These include reforms as well as software-supported analyses of the Union Registry, the implementation of compliance management systems on the part of account holders, web-based training measures by the German Emissions Trading Authority or even the introduction of a cap on cash payments.

16/01/2024

Transactions

Transactions are transfers of allowances and Kyoto allowances from one account to another as well as cancellations and surrenders of allowances. Transactions are carried out in the Union Registry according to specific time frames.

Fixed time window for transactions

Transactions between user accounts in the Union Registry are generally processed on working days from Mondays to Fridays 10:00 to 16:00 Central European time (CET). On working days before 10:00 CET or after 16:00 CET, on Saturdays, Sundays and on registry holidays no transactions may be proposed for execution, but they are not executed. Different rules apply to transactions between EU ETS 1 accounts (EU-100 accounts) and Kyoto accounts (for example DE-121 accounts). No transactions can take place between these two areas. CER and ERU may no longer be held in EU-100 accounts since 01/07/2023 and must be removed from the account through a voluntary cancellation transaction by then.

EU ETS 1 (EU-100 accounts): Execution of transactions to accounts which are not on the trusted account list:

  • If they are initiated on a working day before 12:00 CET, they will be executed after 12:00 CET on the following working day
  • If they are initiated on a working day after 12:00 CET, they will be executed after 12:00 CET on the second working day after which the transactions have been proposed for execution
  • A transaction can be aborted up until two hours before its execution by a single authorised representative.

EU ETS 1 (EU-100 accounts): Execution of transactions to accounts on the trusted account list (see below):

  • They will be executed immediately if they are initiated between 10:00 and 16:00 CET on a working day
  • They will be executed the same working day at 10:00 CET if they are initiated before 10:00 CET on a working day
  • They will be executed the following working day at 10:00 CET if they are initiated after 16:00 CET on a working day

For Kyoto person holding accounts (DE-121 accounts), transactions can only be executed to trusted accounts which are also DE-121 accounts (exception is a voluntary cancellation). Transactions to person holding accounts in other Kyoto registries, such as FR-121 accounts, are no longer possible. If the transaction is initiated on a working day during the transaction window, the execution takes place 26 hours later. On Saturdays, Sundays and registry holidays the delay is suspended. If the transaction is initiated before 10:00 on a working day, the delay starts at 10:00 on the same day. If it is initiated after 16:00 on a working day or on a Saturday, Sunday or registry holiday, the delay starts at 10:00 of the next working day.

The transaction window does not apply to the transaction types of surrender, voluntary cancellation of Kyoto certificates and deletion of allowances. These transaction types are also executed outside of the transaction window.

If the 4-eyes-principle is chosen for an account, then a transaction is being proposed for execution only after an additional authorised representative has approved the transactions which has been initiated by the first authorised representative.

Registry holidays 2024

In addition to Saturdays and Sundays, the following days in 2024 are not considered as working days. Since there is no nationally unified holiday schedule for the German federal states, the public holidays applicable to the federal state of Berlin are the basis for the registry holidays:

  • Wednesday, 25/12/2023 Christmas Day
  • Thursday, 26/12/2023 Boxing Day
  • Monday, 01/01/2024 New Year's Day
  • Wednesday, 08/03/2024 International Women's Day
  • Friday, 29/03/2024 Good Friday
  • Monday, 01/04/2024 Easter Monday
  • Wednesday, 01/05/2024 Labour Day
  • Thursday, 09/05/2024 Ascension Day
  • Monday, 20/05/2024 Whit Monday
  • Thursday, 03/10/2024 Day of German Unification
  • Tuesday, 24/12/2024 Christmas Eve
  • Wednesday, 25/2/2024 Christmas Day
  • Thursday, 26/12/2024 Boxing Day
  • Tuesday, 31/12/2024 New Year's Eve
  • Wednesday, 01/01/2025 New Year's Day

16/01/2024



Roles of Authorised Representative

In the EU-ETS 1 section (EU-100 accounts = Operator holding, Aircraft operator holding, Maritime operator holding and Trading account) there are four different roles of authorised representatives:

  • Initiator: This authorised representative can initiate transactions and processes
  • Approver: This authorised representative can approve transactions or processes which already have been initiated
  • Initiator/Approver: This authorised representative can both initiate and approve transactions and processes, but not the self-initiated.
  • Authorised representative with read-only access.

In the Kyoto section (DE-121 accounts = Person holding account) there are three different roles of authorised representatives:

  • Authorised representative (AR)
  • Additional authorised representative (AAR)
  • Authorised representative with read-only access

If an account applies the 4-eye-principle, either an Approver or an Initiator/Approver (or an additional authorised representative of a person holding account) has to confirm a previously initiated transaction, so that the transaction can be arranged for execution.

Account holder may also apply to switch their accounts to the 2-eye-principle. This switch allows to arrange transactions to accounts on the trusted account list for execution without the approval by a second authorised representatives. Thus, Initiator and Initiator/Approver (respectively authorised representatives of a person holding account) can propose transactions for execution by themselves.

16/01/2024



List of Trusted Accounts

User accounts can contain account specific lists of trusted accounts. Authorised representatives can add or remove accounts. Any modification of this list by an authorised representative with the role of Initiator or Initiator/Approver (respectively authorised representative of a person holding account), requires confirmation by an authorised representative with the role of Approver or Initiator/Approver (respectively additional authorised representative of a person holding account). These rules also apply to accounts which allow transactions with the 2-eyes-principle.

The addition of a new trusted account will take effect after a delay of four working days for EU-100 accounts (operator holding accounts, aircraft operator holding accounts and trading accounts) and seven working days for person holding accounts (DE-121 accounts) at 12 AM noon CET.

For trading and operator accounts the same rules apply:

Any transaction to an account on the trusted account list will be executed immediately with no delay if it has been proposed for execution in the transaction window on a working day between 10 AM and 4 PM CET. Transactions to accounts not on the trusted account list can only be arranged for execution by confirmation of another authorised representative.

Below you will find an overview of how transactions are carried out in the Union Registry. Please note the different transaction rules for person holding accounts (DE-121 accounts).

User Manual

The user manual of the Union Registry is only available to registered authorised representatives. You will receive a link to the manual after your initial registration.

End of the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol

With the end of the second commitment period from 2013 to 2020 of the Kyoto Protocol, Germany had to meet its reduction obligations. According to the emissions of the national inventory reports of these years, Germany has retired almost 3.5 billion AAUs. This does not include emissions from the industry and energy sectors, so those covered by the EU ETS 1. For these emissions, responsibility lies at the EU level. The following table provides detailed information on the retired AAUs according to Decision 13/CMP.1 (Annex, paragraph 49) of the UNFCCC.
