Interesting new initiative from has-to-be (a Chargepoint company) enabling “one-click” automatic green house gas trading on their platform for all public charging infrastructure operators.
has-to-be writes: Germany’s Federal Emission Control law supports eMobility by requiring petroleum companies to reduce the carbon emissions of the fuels they supply. They must use penalty payments or trade with low carbon fuel providers to compensate for the emissions they cannot reduce.
Our service, meanwhile, offers a simple and profitable gateway to the German quota trading system. You’ll be guaranteed a fixed price regardless of any market trends that may develop over the course of the year. And for every traded kilowatt-hour of electricity delivered by a publicly accessible charge point, has·to·be gmbh will invest one cent in developing renewable energies.
Here’s how emissions quota trading for the German market with has·to·be gmbh works:
1. has·to·be’s charging infrastructure operator clients grant it the exclusive right to carry out emissions quota trading related to all electricity delivered via publicly accessible charge points (for both public and private charging sessions).
2. has·to·be handles certifying the electricity in question with local authorities, and takes care of emissions quota trading with petroleum companies.
3. The charging infrastructure operators get income from the emissions quota trades, as per the fixed price defined for the entire trading year.
4. has·to·be invests one cent per kilowatt-hour from emission quota trading in the expansion of renewable energies, thus making EV Charging even greener.
