What are EREs?

An explanation of emission reduction units for anyone who charges an electric car at home, and for anyone who wants to know what the price above is about. Point at an underlined term for a short explanation and a link to its source; all sources are listed at the bottom.

01

What is an ERE?

What an ERE isAn ERE stands for 1 kilogram of CO₂-equivalent emission reduction across the supply chain, relative to the fossil reference value. Remaining HBEs were converted on 1 May 2026: 1 HBE became 46 EREs.UNITfossilreferencerenewableenergyreduction1 EREper kg CO₂-eqCONVERSION 20261 HBEthrough 20251 May 202646 EREs
1 ERE = 1 kg CO₂-eq reduction compared with the fossil reference. At the transition, 1 HBE became 46 EREs.

An ERE (emissiereductie-eenheid, emission reduction unit) stands for 1 kilogram of CO₂ equivalent of emission reduction across the supply chain, measured against a fossil reference value set at European level. EREs are tradable units.

With the introduction of RED III in 2026, EREs replaced renewable fuel units (hernieuwbare brandstofeenheden, HBEs). 2025 was the last year with an annual obligation using tradable HBEs; on 1 January 2026 the brandstoftransitieverplichting (BTV, fuel transition obligation) with EREs took effect. After the year-end closing for 2025, remaining HBEs were converted into EREs of the same type on 1 May 2026, at 1 HBE = 46 EREs.

02

Why do EREs exist?

How the obligation worksIn the Register Energie Vervoer (REV, Energy for Transport Register), managed by the NEa, a supplier of renewable energy receives 1 ERE per kilogram of reduction. EREs are traded to fuel suppliers that supply 500,000 litres or more per year; on 1 April they are deducted. Required supply-chain emission reduction in the land sector: 14.4% in 2026, 16.5% in 2027, 23.1% in 2028, 25.6% in 2029 and 28.4% in 2030; only LREs count.Register Energie Vervoer (REV)managed and supervised by the NEaaccountrenewableenergy1 ERE per kgaccountfuelsupplier≥ 500,000 l/yrtrade1 April: deductedOBLIGATION · LAND SECTORsupply-chain emission reduction · LREs only14.4%202616.5%202723.1%202825.6%202928.4%2030
Suppliers of renewable energy receive EREs; fuel suppliers buy them, and on 1 April they are deducted. The obligation in the land sector rises every year.

The system is meant to bring down CO₂ emissions from transport and implements the European directive RED III. Companies that supply renewable energy to transport receive 1 ERE per kilogram of supply-chain emission reduction, and those EREs are tradable.

Fuel suppliers that supply 500,000 litres or more a year to a transport sector (land, inland shipping or maritime shipping) have a fuel transition obligation there, expressed in EREs. Every year on 1 April, the required EREs are deducted from their account in the Register Energie Vervoer (REV, Energy for Transport Register); a limited share may be banked.

In the land sector, the required supply-chain emission reduction rises from 14.4% in 2026 via 16.5% (2027), 23.1% (2028) and 25.6% (2029) to 28.4% in 2030. Only EREs from the land sector (LREs) count towards it. For ERE-E from electricity there is no minimum or maximum.

The Nederlandse Emissieautoriteit (NEa, Dutch Emissions Authority) is market master and supervisor, and manages the REV. Only obligated companies, registrants (inboekers) and traders have an account there.

03

How do you earn EREs by charging?

Charging at home and ERE-EElectricity flows from your grid connection through the charge point with its built-in MID meter to the car. The measured kWh go, with your authorisation, to a registration service provider, which registers them as ERE-E. You may not register them yourself, and a separate external meter is not enough.yourgrid connectioncharge point withMID metercarseparate metermeasured kWhauthorisationregistrationservice providerregistersERE-Eno self-registration
You charge, the registration service provider registers: with your authorisation, based on the kWh measured at the charge point.

Electricity has its own kind of ERE: the ERE-E. It is created by registering (inboeken) electricity supplied to transport. Previously the revenue went mainly to operators of public charge points. Since 2026, inboekdienstverleners (registration service providers) may also register the charging of households with their own charge point, so that private individuals can receive revenue too.

As a private individual you may not register yourself; a registration service provider does it for you, with an authorisation. Conditions for home charging:

  • Your charge point has a built-in MID-certified kWh meter. A charge point without an MID meter only counts if the grid operator has made a split behind which only the charge point uses electricity.
  • A separate, external MID meter is not enough: since January 2026 it has to be inside the charge point. Only companies that were already registering before 2026 get a transition year in 2026; private individuals do not.
  • You own the grid connection at your address.
  • Only the kWh measured at the charge point count, and of those only the grid-average share of renewable electricity.
  • You sign up with one registration service provider at a time, with a contract of at least one full calendar year.

How is the price set?

How the ERE price is formedEREs are traded over the counter (OTC) between buyer and seller, often via brokers with a weekly market update; there is no exchange. The mid price lies exactly between bid and offer: (bid + offer) ÷ 2. According to Joulo, the price follows the green premium, the cost difference between fossil and renewable fuel. More expensive oil makes that difference smaller; cheaper oil makes it larger and can push the ERE price up.OVER THE COUNTER · NO EXCHANGEbuyersellerbroker · weekly market updatePRICE PER ERElowerhigherbidoffermid(bid + offer) ÷ 2GREEN PREMIUM · PER JOULOcost gap between fossil and renewablefossilrenewablecheaper oilpricier oilgreen premiumERE pricecan risecan fall
No exchange but over-the-counter trading; the mid price is the average of bid and offer. At the bottom, expensive oil alternates with cheap oil: the cheaper the oil, the bigger the green premium, and according to Joulo the ERE price can rise as a result.

There is no exchange for EREs. According to Joulo, they are traded over the counter (OTC) between buyer and seller, often through brokers who publish a weekly market update.

The prices on this site come from the weekly ERE price feed from Joulo: bid and offer prices in euros per ERE, entered by hand every week based on the LRE-E spot market. The mid price is the average of bid and offer. It is a price per ERE, not per kWh.

Demand is growing because the obligation rises every year. According to Joulo, itself a market participant, the ERE price follows the ‘green premium’: the cost difference between fossil and renewable fuel. Cheaper oil can therefore actually push the ERE price up. It is a young, thin market with sizeable swings from week to week.

What does it earn you?

What a kWh yieldsFor electricity delivered in 2026: 1 kWh × 0.505 (renewable share of electricity, CBS) × 183 g/MJ (fossil reference value) × 3.6 MJ/kWh ÷ 1,000 = 0.3327 ERE. The HBE multiplier of 4 no longer exists. Fuel suppliers pay via the market; the registration service provider can share the proceeds with you and sometimes keeps 10 to 30% or charges a subscription. It is not a subsidy.ELECTRICITY DELIVERED IN 20261 kWh× 0.505renewable share (CBS)× 183 g/MJfossil reference× 3.6 MJ/kWh÷ 1,0000.3327 ERE× 4 (HBE)no longer existsNO SUBSIDY · VIA THE MARKETfuel suppliersregistration service provideryoupay via the marketcan share the proceedssometimes keeps 10–30%,or charges a subscription
From 1 kWh to 0.3327 ERE, and who pays: fuel suppliers through the market, not the government.

For grid electricity delivered in 2026, the NEa calculates:

ERE-E = kWh × 0.505 × 183 g/MJ × 3.6 MJ/kWh ÷ 1000= 0.3327 ERE per kWh

0.505 is the share of renewable electricity in the Netherlands two years before the delivery year, as determined by CBS (50.5%). So this number changes every year. 183 g/MJ is the fossil reference value for electricity; for biofuels and renewable fuels it is 94 g/MJ. The multiplication factor of 4 that applied to HBEs no longer exists.

There is no fixed price for EREs. The registration service provider receives the EREs and can share the revenue with you. Some providers keep 10 to 30%, others charge a fixed subscription. Radar mentioned a payout of 7 to 10 cents per kWh in September 2026, depending on the market. It is not a government subsidy: fuel suppliers pay through the market.

Frequently asked questions

Can I register EREs myself?
No. Private individuals may not register themselves. An independent registrant needs a KvK (Dutch Chamber of Commerce) registration and must register at least 2 million kWh a year. So as a private individual you need a registration service provider.
Do I get EREs when I charge in public?
Not yourself. Only the party listed in the Centraal Aansluitingenregister (CAR, central connection register) as the customer of the (primary) grid connection may register; a secondary allocation point alone is not enough. That is a legal requirement. So with public charging, the party with the connection registers, not the EV driver.
What should I look for in a registration service provider?
A registration service provider must be able to register at least 2 million kWh a year or have at least 200 authorisations, and an independent verifier checks every year that everything is correct. The NEa does not approve or accredit registration service providers and does not answer questions from private individuals. An authorisation applies to one or more full calendar years and is not renewed automatically. Radar warns against contracts longer than two years.
When are EREs registered?

Electricity delivered in a given year can be registered until 1 March of the following year. The year-end closing follows on 1 April; EREs above the banking limit then expire.

What is the legal basis?
In the Netherlands, the Wet milieubeheer (Environmental Management Act) (title 9.7, Hernieuwbare energie vervoer, on renewable energy for transport, and title 9.8, Raffinagereductie vervoersbrandstoffen, on refinery reduction for transport fuels), the Besluit energie vervoer (Energy for Transport Decree) and the Regeling energie vervoer (Energy for Transport Regulation); at European level, Directive (EU) 2023/2413 (RED III). The act of 1 April 2026 amending the Wet milieubeheer and the Wet op de accijns (Excise Act), and the decree of 19 May 2026 amending the Besluit energie vervoer (Stb. 2026, 117), entered into force on 20 June 2026 with retroactive effect to 1 January 2026 (Stb. 2026, 137; except for one provision of the act).
