Module 8 of 9 · S3 · Verification, carbon price paid and the free allocation adjustment
Overview
Three things on your side change how many certificates your customer must surrender. Verification decides whether your actual emissions can be used at all. A carbon price paid at home can reduce the number. The free allocation adjustment reduces it too, but less every year until 2034.
You will learn
- Who may verify your emissions, what they check and the 5 % thresholds.
- How to plan verification of 2026 data.
- When a carbon price paid outside the EU can be deducted.
- How to calculate the free allocation adjustment and find your benchmark.
