Germany halts GHG emissions ticket roll over to boost biofuel production

In Germany, Platts reports over supply in the biofuels market has led the government to block companies from rolling over their greenhouse gas emissions tickets in 2025 and 2026 in an effort to encourage production. Companies will now be required to use certificates produced in the same year as the compliance requirements rather than the continued practice by oil companies to over-comply by stockpiling credits and then rolling them over to the next year. In 2022, overcompliance was about 24% above required CO2 emissions.
