The monitoring plan in the nEHS
Basis for avoiding fines and sanctions
According to Section 6 BEHG, the annual emissions report is based on a monitoring plan to be drawn up by the distributor. The monitoring plan documents the type and quantity of fuels placed on the market and describes the company's internal methodology for determining fuel emissions.
Before the start of a trading period, the electronically signed monitoring plan must be submitted to the authority responsible for national emissions trading, the German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHSt), via the DEHSt platform. The monitoring plan requires the approval of DEHSt.
The monitoring plan had to be submitted to DEHSt for the first time for the 2024 reporting year by 31 October 2023.
Anyone who has drawn up a monitoring plan, installed a compliance management system geared towards the nEHS and adapted their contractual structures to the legal situation is ideally positioned for the further reporting obligations in the nEHS.
What exactly is the problem?
A clean and correct monitoring plan is the basis for an error-free and consistent emissions report. In addition to the operational organisational and process structures, the monitoring plan primarily maps the areas of measurement instruments and measurement methodology as well as the complete data management. Responsibilities that are not clearly defined and unclean data management can ultimately lead to additional administrative and financial burdens resulting from the need for necessary corrections, in addition to a refused approval of the plan by the DEHSt.
