How do EREs contribute to a better environment?

ERE emission credits, also sometimes referred to as emission rights, encourage the use of renewable energy in transport, reducing CO₂ emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. The system rewards companies that embrace sustainability, lowering environmental impact and supporting a greener future for mobility. From January 2026, emissiereductie-eenheden (EREs) replaced hernieuwbare brandstofeenheden (HBEs). This new system, which falls under the European RED III directive, introduces several important improvements. The ERE system focuses directly on actual CO₂ emission reductions across the entire transport chain. Its goal is no longer just to increase the volume of renewable energy, but to promote the forms of renewable energy that have the greatest impact on reducing total CO₂ emissions in the transport sector.

How much income can emission credits generate?

Revenues depend on your energy consumption. With a charging volume for vehicles of more than 50 MWh (50,000 kWh) per year, around €100 per MWh (€0.10 per kWh) net can be earned when charging from the grid. Charging sessions that can be linked to simultaneous on-site generation, for example from solar panels, can yield around €200 per MWh. The value of EREs is determined on the open market and depends on supply and demand. Prices therefore vary and are not guaranteed, but historically the price has typically been between €10 and €20 per ERE. An ERE price of €15 translates to approximately €80 per MWh in earnings, after costs. ‍Disclaimer: no rights can be derived from these price indications.

Is participation complicated or time-consuming?

No, Voltico offers a fully automated and compliant solution. There are no operational changes required. Technical integration is lightweight and typically completed quickly. We can perform a one-time, over-the-air update for your chargers and handle all administration, trading, and reporting. After onboarding, the process runs in the background without ongoing effort from your side.

What requirements does my company have to meet?

- The grid connection must be registered in the name of the company. In the case of building leases, the landlord must grant a formal authorization allowing the tenant to benefit from the ERE credits. - Only 100% subsidiaries can be included in the registration by the parent company. Subsidiaries are not allowed to register on behalf of their parent company. In that case, the subsidiary must issue a formal authorization to the emission credit service provider (inboekdienstverlener), such as Voltico, to act on its behalf. - Due to audit costs, participation becomes profitable from 50 MWh (50,000 kWh) per year. For electric cars, the annual charging volume is approximately 3 to 5 MWh per vehicle. For electric vans, it is around 10 MWh, and for trucks, 100 MWh. We are happy to help you determine if your charging volume is sufficient. - We perform an update on the charge points to enable energy consumption tracking. The functionality of the charge points, such as access via charge cards or tags, remains unchanged. If the charge points are managed by a third party, we will coordinate the required one-time update with your permission.

Which companies buy emission credits?

In the Netherlands, fossil fuel suppliers are legally obliged to obtain a prescribed number of emission credits annually (EREs). In doing so, they contribute to the financing of renewable energy in the transport sector. This system is part of European regulations and anchored in national laws and regulations. Through Voltico, your company can easily benefit from EREs. Traditionally, this can be difficult due to complex administration, regulations, lack of experience and difficult market access, especially with small trading volumes.

I have solar panels and/ or a smart battery - can I still participate?

Yes, absolutely. When charging can be proven to take place simultaneously with self-generated renewable energy (for example from solar panels), earnings can reach around €200 per MWh. This requires a verifiable, time-synchronised record showing that electricity was generated and consumed within the same hour. When a battery is available, Voltico’s software can also account for charging powered via stored renewable energy. In that case, 100% EREs can apply even if generation and charging do not occur in the same hour, provided this is supported by verifiable data. Voltico’s software automatically handles this verification. If you generate renewable energy on site, your emission credits can therefore be worth twice as much compared to charging with grid electricity. Our platform connects seamlessly with solar installations and smart batteries, synchronising all data in one place. ‍Disclaimer: no rights can be derived from these price indications.

Do I need to generate and charge renewable energy to claim EREs?

No. You don’t need to charge your EVs with renewable energy to claim EREs. Electric driving always results in CO₂ reductions compared to petrol or diesel vehicles, even when charging from the grid. Because a significant share of grid electricity is already renewable (around 50%), this is taken into account when calculating emission credits. As a result, grid charging can already generate recurring income through EREs. That said, EREs linked to 100% verifiable renewable energy are worth twice as much. If you charge using your own renewable generation, such as solar or wind, and this can be proven to take place within the same hour as charging, higher-value EREs apply. Voltico’s system verifies this automatically.

What does Voltico cost?

Voltico operates on a no-cure, no-pay basis: we only charge a fee when generated ERE emission credits are actually sold. Our fee consists of a pre-agreed percentage of the realized earnings, with tiered pricing available for higher volumes. One-time setup costs are deducted from the first payout, meaning no upfront investment is required. Pricing depends on your setup and charging volume. For a detailed proposal tailored to your organization, please get in touch.

Which companies are eligible?

Companies with their own charging stations* that provide electricity to vehicles, such as logistics companies, real estate locations, offices and fleet owners, are eligible. With at least 10 charging stations, it is usually profitable. * The grid connection for the location with charging stations must be in the name of the (parent) company.
