Emissions Trading / Carbon Market News (2018-09-03)

Dear Sir or Madam,

In 2010, the German government launched the German “Energy and Climate Fund”, into which the proceeds of the auctions of German emission certificates on the Leipzig Energy Exchange EEX flow. This money is used, among other things, to finance electromobility, CO2 building renovation or to promote research into renewable energies.

This year, the fund can look forward to significant additional income. The German emissions trading office expects revenues to double to approximately two billion euros, which can be attributed to the significant increase in prices.

Prices for European emission rights rose again last week, reaching a new high of EUR 21.79 per ton of CO2 or its equivalent of other greenhouse gases on Thursday. Last time there was such a price level 10 years ago.
