This page is being updated in relation to new regulations. Please refer to the executive order regarding the Emission Trading Registry. This page provides an overview of the types of account in the EU ETS Registry and the Danish Emission Trading Registry. Only external types of account are included here, i.e. not the types used solely by the Danish State. Please note that there is a difference between holding accounts and trading accounts. An overview of the types of units (emission allowances, credits, etc.) which may be held in the different types of registry accounts is provided below.
