Attention: You are a trader and/or user of coke & coal - Are you subject to SESTA since 01.01.2023?! Look here!

By 31.10.2023, every company in the national emissions trading system must submit its monitoring plan. This can be done in a simplified or regular version and submitted to the DEHSt for review.
The fact that the submission must be carried out in a rather complex technical IT system is further explained in this Emissionsbrief 08-2023 from Emissionshändler.com, after this was already initially presented in the previous issue 07-2023.
In today's Emissionsbrief, we also bring our series on compliance violations in European aviation to a close with a statement by the Vice President of the EU Commission.

The further reduction of EUA volumes in the EU ETS, which was announced by the European Commission at the end of July and will already fully affect the calendar year 2024, is driving the concerns of plant operators. Not only will more have to be purchased because less will be allocated, but EUA prices can also be expected to rise as a result.
Whether and how this lowering of the current cap and the expansion of the EU ETS to include shipping from 2024 will drive up prices is something we will look at again on the basis of the final figures now available.
In this consideration of possible price effects, it should not be forgotten that the EU had already decided in May 2023 that the free allocation and surrender of emission allowances would be postponed from February/April to June/September.
In our present Emissions Letter 09-2023, we therefore not only analyse the possible shifts in the annual price curve resulting from this, but also begin our series of articles on the primary energies gas and nuclear, which are suddenly to be described as "green" according to the EU taxonomy.
