No. We are vendor-independent and work with any CPO platform that can provide session data.

Nothing in advance. We retain a handling fee on the realised value at sale: see our packages for the percentages, each with a minimum per year. You will not receive an invoice from us, only a self-bill for the payment of your share of the proceeds upon payout.

Your e-credits can be traded as soon as the FOD Economy allocates them. We aim to maximise the proceeds from the e-credits for you (and thus also for us) and closely monitor the prices of e-credits with the fossil fuel suppliers.  

Payment occurs before the end of the quarter in which the fossil fuel suppliers settle the e-credits.

Suppliers of fossil fuels in the EU must make their deliveries more sustainable, as required by the European Renewable Energy Directive - REDII (Dec 2018) and REDIII (Oct 2023). They can use e-credits to balance a percentage of their fossil fuel sales for road transport. 

The mandatory percentage is rising year on year: it was set at 12.2 per cent for Belgium for 2025 and is currently set to rise to 14 per cent by 2030 (see RED II), so a growing market is assured.  When the RED III Directive is transposed into Belgian law (scheduled for 2027), the percentage will be raised to 29 per cent by 2030!

E-credits can be obtained by fuel suppliers by: 

• delivery of renewable fuels (biofuels or synthetic fuels with less CO2), 
• participating in CO2 compensation projects or 
• submitting Renewable Energy Units (REU).  

The REUs generated by electric rail and road transport are of type "F", so for completeness "REU-F".

No. No public funds are involved. Fossil fuel suppliers purchase e-credits to meet their legal obligations — in line with the ‘polluter pays’ principle. As a result, e-credits can also be combined with the increased investment allowance and with leasing or ‘charging-as-a-service’ schemes.

At present, the e-credits mechanism is guaranteed until 2030 in Belgium.  The Netherlands and Germany have already implemented RED III and have extended the mechanism until 2035.  It is expected that such an extension will also be introduced in Belgium with the transposition of RED III into Belgian law during 2027.

Belgium is expected to ratify the transposition of RED III into Belgian law during 2027.  This should normally have taken place by 1 January 2026.

Today, the Belgian correction factor for converting charged kWh into e-credits applies: only 31.28% of your charging energy counts as renewable, meaning you need 222 kWh for one e-credit. REDIII changes that. If you can demonstrate quarterly that the energy through your charging cable is generated locally renewable — solar on your roof, wind or biomass on site — then it counts 100%. You will then only need 69 kWh for that same e-credit: the number of e-credits from the same kWh of electricity is more than tripled!

Belgium plans to implement REDIII in 2027. Those who are already thinking about solar panels on the roof or a battery behind the meter will be ready with a built installation. We can assist you with that.

No, only for private charging hubs on a closed site. For public and semi-public charging hubs, there is no minimum power of the charging station to claim e-credits.

Not for now. Charging points at a private residence are excluded, even when the residence is owned by or operated by a company. 

Lobby work is underway to change that to a Dutch model.

Those are definitively lost. There is no retroactive regularisation: charging energy that is not reported within fourteen days after the end of the quarter can no longer be converted. The sooner you get involved, the less you will leave behind.

We only read the charging volumes necessary for the declaration to the FOD Economy. We do not request access to your customer data or your rates, and we do not keep any records of this.
