New restrictions on the surrender of certain international units

The New Zealand Government has announced new restrictions on the surrender of certain international units to the NZ ETS will come into effect on 18 December 2012.
The restrictions pertain to Certified Emission Reduction units (CERs) and Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) generated by large-scale hydropower projects and ERUs generated by industrial gas destruction projects. A list of banned projects can be found in the "How to: guides and help" section of the NZEUR, or go to the following link for a PDF of the list, current as of 1 April 2013 (List of CERs and ERUs that have been restricted, excel version, 596 KB).
Affected units brought into the NZEUR after 17 December 2012 will no longer be eligible for surrender to meet an obligation with the NZ ETS. Units held in the NZEUR immediately prior to December 18 are exempt from the restrictions, while units brought into the NZEUR through a forward contract that has been registered with the Registrar will be eligible for surrender until 1 June 2014.

New Zealand Emission Unit Register (NZEUR)

The NZEUR has been implemented in order to meet New Zealand's commitment and obligations under the Kyoto Protocol and to support the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS), established by the Climate Change Response Act 2002 (CCRA).

Both the Kyoto Protocol and the CCRA require New Zealand to operate an electronic, internet-based national registry system. The NZEUR website provides access to this online registry, where people can join the NZEUR and then open accounts to either participate in the NZ ETS or to trade units.
