Why do fuel suppliers buy ERE's?

Part of the electricity from the grid is green: just over half in 2026. For that part you drive without CO₂, and an ERE is the proof of that. Anyone charging at home with a MID meter delivers that proof with every kWh.

Who buys that proof?

Fuel suppliers. Anyone selling petrol and diesel must emit less CO₂ every year with what they sell. They can do that with cleaner fuel, or with someone else's proof: your ERE's. So the money flows from sellers of fossil fuel to the people who charge at home.

No subsidy, no greenwashing

This is not a subsidy and not greenwashing either. The government does not contribute. Whoever emits less CO₂ delivers the proof; whoever sells fossil fuel pays for it. That makes electric driving cheaper and fossil driving more expensive.

Rising obligation

The emission reduction obligation for fuel suppliers rises sharply in the coming years: from 14.4% in 2026 to 28.4% in 2030. That means they must buy more proof each year • a market mechanism that supports the price.
