Emission Reduction Units

Generate additional value from your charging infrastructure.

Your kWh are worth more than you think

Charge smarter. Unlock additional value.

You invest in electric trucks, vans, and charging infrastructure. But did you know those same electric kilometres may also create additional value?
With EREs (Emission Reduction Units), you can unlock additional value from every kWh charged.

Turn eligible electric kilometres into potential additional value

Under the Dutch ERE scheme, the CO₂ reductions achieved through electric charging can, under certain conditions, be registered. These emission reductions represent a value that can be monetized through the ERE system.
For organizations operating electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, this provides an attractive opportunity to further improve the business case for electrification.

Your fleet

You have 4 electric trucks with an annual charging volume of 400,000 kWh.

EREs generated

Based on this charging volume, approximately 133,000 EREs can be generated under the current ERE framework.*

Worth real money

At an average market value of €0.47 per ERE, this represents a potential value of approximately €62,500 per year.

Potential annual value per truck: approximately €15,600*

This equates to roughly €15,600 of additional value per truck per year, with limited additional operational involvement when supported by Shell Business Recharge Solutions.

*Disclaimer: Illustrative example only. ERE generation and value depend on applicable regulations, charging volumes, energy sources, metering requirements, eligibility criteria and market prices. Future ERE values are not guaranteed.
