Step 01
You charge at home
You charge your EV at home as always. Your charger measures exactly how much energy goes into the car — for every charging session. That's how simple it starts.

How it works
From charge to payout
Step 02
We register with the NEa
Zeres collects your charging data and converts it to Emission Reduction Units (EREs). We register them with the Dutch Emissions Authority on your behalf.
Step 03
The market buys your EREs
Fuel suppliers must offset the CO₂ emissions of their fossil fuel. They do so by buying your EREs on the emissions market.
Step 04
You receive a payout
Every quarter we transfer the proceeds to your account. No hassle, no obligations — just money for something you were already doing.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to qualify for an ERE payout?
As a private customer you qualify if you (1) have one or more charging points at home with an integrated MID-certified kWh meter, (2) have your own electricity grid connection and are registered in the Central Connection Register as owner of the EAN at your home address (including sole traders), and (3) enter into an agreement with a registration service such as Zeres and grant a mandate to register your charging energy with the NEa.
What are EREs?
EREs (Emission Reduction Units) exist since January 1, 2026 as the successor to the HBE scheme. They are certificates that capture the CO₂ emissions avoided through renewable energy in transport. One ERE equals one kilogram of avoided CO₂ emissions. They are sold to parties that must offset their CO₂ emissions, such as oil companies.
Is my charger eligible for the ERE payout?
The NEa requires a charger with an integrated MID-certified kWh meter at your home. That means: (1) the charger is located on your property, (2) the MID meter is inside the charger itself (not in the utility cabinet), (3) you may charge any suitable car, forklift or truck. For marinas, shore power for boats is also allowed. An overview of known MID chargers is available at the bottom of our charger page.
What exactly does Zeres do?
Zeres is an ERE registration service recognized by the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa). Our service covers: automatic reading of charging energy, inclusion of renewable share from solar panels (for businesses and HOAs), registration of charging data with the NEa, trading EREs on the emissions market at the best achievable price, payouts with detailed reports, and performing mandatory audits for businesses.
