Issuance is (also) a Time Consuming Process February 16,
2012
On average, it takes a year to get CERs issued, measured from the end of a monitoring period to issuance of CERs from the UN. Time spent with the companies verifying the monitoring reports and the number of CERs makes up most of the issuance process.
Turbulent 2011 Ended on a Negative NoteJanuary 5,
2012
Carbon prices tumbled to record lows during 2011; EUAs fell by ca. 50% from 14.6 EUR to 7.3, and CERs were down by more than 62% from 11.2 to 4.2. Compared to the highs in early May, EUAs and CERs ended respectively 60 and 68% lower. The main drivers were political uncertainty, the economic crises, the energy efficiency directive, and increased supply in the EU ETS.
