EU-ETS and Kyoto Protocol mechanisms deal simultaneously with different commodities and different vintages (reference years).

• European Union Allowances (EUA): materialization of the EU ETS quotas, the tradable unit under the EU ETS. One EUA represents the right to emit 1 ton of CO2.
• Certified Emission Reductions (CERs): CERs are issued for emission reductions from CDM project activities. A Kyoto Protocol unit equal to 1 metric ton of CO2 equivalent.
• Emission Reduction Units (ERUs): unit of emission reductions achieved through a Joint Implementation project. This unit is equal to one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent.
• A VER represents a unit of greenhouse gas emission reduction that has been verified by an independent third party, but that has not yet undergone the procedures and may not have met yet the requirements for verification, certification and issuance of CERs (in the case of the CDM) or ERUs (in the case of JI) under the Kyoto Protocol. Therefore VERs are carbon credits which are not certified under the Kyoto Protocol but which can be used to compensate carbon emissions. 1 VER corresponds to one metric ton of CO2 equivalent.

The eCO₂care VER Registry gives access to the projects verified regarding GHG emissions reduction and, in particular, provides the amount of not-emitted or fixed CO2, concerning the accounting and the registration of VER credits.
