Several types of accounts can be opened in the Union Registry. Each account type has a specific purpose which determines the account’s functionality and thus possible applicants.
Account types in the EU ETS

Operator holding account
All installations included in the EU ETS have an operator holding account. The account can receive free allocation of allowances, emissions can be entered and verified, and it is possible to transfer and surrender allowances.
Except for the specific functionality described above, the account type corresponds to a trading account, see below.
The account is free of charge but can only be opened if a greenhouse gas permit exists for the installation.
All aircraft operators included in the ETS have an aircraft operator account. The account can receive free allocation of allowances, emissions can be entered and verified, and it is possible to transfer and surrender allowances.
Except for the specific functionality described above, the account type corresponds to a trading account, see below.
The account is free of charge but can only be opened if a monitoring plan exists for the aircraft operator.
The main account type for those who want to trade on the EU ETS market.
The accounts can be opened by private individuals, companies as well as operators and aircraft operators. There are fees associated with the account type.
Verifier accounts can only be opened by an organisation which is accredited as a verifier according to directive 2003/87/EC. The account type is used by verifiers for verification purposes and in some cases to enter emissions on associated operator and aircraft operator holding accounts. Therefore, the account cannot hold units. Verifier accounts require only one authorised representative.
Operators with stationary facilities included in EU ETS
