Emissions Trading and CO₂ Compliance for Businesses

In emissions markets, the price of emission allowances is determined by market forces based on the supply and demand for emission permits. The regulatory framework for these markets is based on EU law and its national implementation.
Depending on the industry, fuel, and activity, different systems and obligations may apply.
These include, in particular, the national emissions trading system in Germany and the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).
MB Energy supports companies in procuring emission allowances, assessing regulatory developments, and implementing appropriate procurement strategies.
