What is a CER?
Certified Emission Reduction Credit Each CER represents the abatement of one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent.

CERs are only issued by the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Executive Board once estimated abatement volumes have been validated independently.

How do CERs Work?

CERs are used by companies, within industrialised nations (Annex 1 countries) to meet within their emission limitation targets set by the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS).
