Settlement Type Physical
Delivery Physical delivery occurs at the UK Emissions Trading Registry (UK Registry) two business days after the last trading day. For delivery in Phase II of the EU ETS, which is effective through March 2013, a deliverable CER may be surrendered by an operator or aircraft operator under the EU ETS Directive (without regard to any quantitative restrictions on the ability of any operator or aircraft operator imposed under Article 11a of the EU ETS Directive or otherwise to surrender such CERs). In addition, the CER cannot originate from nuclear facilities; land use, land use change and forestry activities (LULUCF); trifluoromethane (HFC-23) projects; and nitrous oxide (N2O) from adipic acid production. For delivery in Phase III of the EU ETS, which is effective after March 2013, a deliverable CER may be surrendered by an operator or aircraft operator under the EU ETS Directive (without regard to any quantitative restrictions on the ability of any operator or aircraft operator imposed under Article 11a of the EU ETS Directive or otherwise to surrender such CERs). In the case of CERs that are subject to qualitative restrictions, those qualitative restrictions under the EU ETS: (A) can be identified by the Exchange by way of reference to the serial number of the CER subject to such qualitative restriction; and (B) do not render them wholly ineligible for the purpose of surrender under the EU ETS Directive.
