​What is a registry account and how to open one?

The Union Registry is an online database hosted and managed by the European Commission. It operates in a similar same way to an internet bank account, and records allowance allocations for aircraft operators, annual verified emissions, transaction history of allowance transfers and surrenders of allowances.

All aircraft operators must open a registry account with the Union Registry in order to comply with the EU ETS as the allowances that correspond to the annual emissions must be surrendered every year through the Registry by 30 April of the following year.
