EU Allowances

Buying and selling of European Union (EU) Allowances, generically called EU Allowances, carbon credits or carbon certificates with payment and delivery on T+1, allowing the owner to emit one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions such as CO₂.

EUA Forward

An EUA forward is an agreement to buy allowances in the future at a predefined time and price. This gives you the ability to secure future supply, to lock in a price and to limit price exposure.

Frequently asked questions

How can I purchase EUAs?

You can purchase EUA at auctions that are organised by the European Energy Exchange (EEX) on behalf of the EU, Germany and Poland. And EUAs can be bought and sold on the secondary market.

If you do not have access to these markets, you can contact ABN AMRO’s Carbon Environmental Solutions desk for assistance.

What is the purpose of the Union Registry?

The Union Registry serves to guarantee accurate accounting for all allowances issued under the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS). The registry keeps track of the ownership of allowances held in electronic accounts, just as a bank has a record of all its customers and their money.

The Dutch Emissions Authority manages the Dutch part of the Union Registry.

What is the reporting period under the EU-ETS?

This is a calendar year from 1 January until 31 December. The data for a given year must be verified by an accredited verifier by 31 March of the following year.

What is the minimum size for EUA orders?

For the spot auction, orders are executable as multiples of 500 EUAs. For the secondary spot market as well as the forward market ABN AMRO Bank accepts order sizes of multiples of 1,000 EUAs.
