How long can UER certificates be issued for UERs attained in a project?

(067)

The duration of the offsetting period per project is twelve months. The offsetting period can cross two compliance years (calendar years). An UER project cannot claim multiple offsetting periods or reapply for approval a second time. Within the request for approval the start of the offsetting period is set preliminary. After the German Environmental Agency has approved the project, the lead partner of the project determines the beginning of the offsetting period. This determination is binding. It cannot be changed and will be published on this website. The earliest start of the offsetting period is one day after the German Environmental Agency has received the relevant notification by the lead partner of the project.
