    The ERE market: how are prices determined?

    ERE credits trade on a market. The obligation rises from 14.4% to 28.4% by 2030 • which supports demand.

    ERE credits are traded on a market where supply and demand determine the price. The often-quoted €0.10 per kWh is an indicative price based on recent rates.

    Why is demand rising?

    The emission reduction obligation for fuel suppliers is rising sharply in the coming years:

    - 2026: 14.4% - 2027: 17.2% - 2028: 20.3% - 2029: 24.1% - 2030: 28.4%

    This means companies need to buy more credits each year. The expectation is that this supports the price.

    Types of ERE credits

    In the new system several ERE types exist:

    - ERE-E (Electricity) • created by registering electricity for transport - ERE-R (RFNBO) • for renewable fuels of non-biological origin - ERE-G (Advanced) • for advanced biofuels - ERE-C (Conventional) • for conventional biofuels - ERE-B (Annex IX-B) • for biofuels based on Annex IX, part B - ERE-O (Other) • for specific waste streams or crops

    For home chargers, ERE-E is the relevant category.
