There are no simple rules for the fuels coke & coal and their possible BEHG obligation, as is usually possible for gas & oil. Unfortunately, the question of the energy tax obligation - and subsequently a BEHG obligation - only leads to a limited result. This is a dangerous and stressful state of affairs for companies that may be affected, as in the worst case the BEHG obligation is only established two years later by the German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHSt). Administrative offences and sanctions as well as large financial losses are then the consequence for the company concerned.

Emissionshändler.com shows how a company can quickly and easily identify a BEHG obligation on its special page on coke and coal.
