Demand & outages

Live emissions vs verified EU ETS data

Live is for the trade. Verified is for the surrender. Do not confuse the two clocks.

Two clocks

Live / Day+1 estimates update on a trading-relevant lag. Verified emissions lock the compliance obligation on the regulatory calendar.

When each wins

Use live demand to anticipate near-term EUA pressure from power and industry. Use verified data to reconcile positions, compliance, and TNAC inputs. Both belong on a serious desk; they answer different questions.

FAQ

Can I surrender based on Day+1?
No. Compliance uses verified emissions under EU ETS rules. Day+1 is trading context, not a compliance filing.
