AI Summary (NQ-processed)
The German government has notified the European Commission of its decision to invalidate EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) allowances saved in 2024 due to the closure of 14 coal-fired power plants. This measure ensures that the phase-out of coal power genuinely leads to emission reductions, rather than merely being an 'accounting game' where other entities might use the surplus allowances.
