Control Union – Certification

ETS2

The EU Emissions Trading System Phase 2 (EU ETS2) is a new regulation targeting CO2 emissions from fuels used in buildings, road transport, and other sectors. It requires fuel suppliers to monitor and report their emissions. Control Union provides expert EU ETS2 assessment services to support organisations in achieving full compliance with these new legal obligations.

    About ETS2

    The EU ETS2 regulation makes fuel suppliers responsible for monitoring emissions from fuels used in buildings, road transport, and other sectors. From 2027, this will include paying a price for CO2 emissions. Navigating these complex new rules is a mandatory legal requirement. Control Union provides expert guidance and robust EU ETS2 assessment services to support organisations in preparing for the crucial 2026 pilot assessment and full compliance obligations.
