Carbon Markets

Carbon Credits

Is there a national regulation of carbon credits in Georgia?

No. Environmental legislation creates no emissions-trading scheme and no registry of credit issuance. Only the authorization and monitoring of greenhouse-gas emissions are regulated.

Who issues the emissions authorization?

For activities determined by government decree, except aviation — the National Environment Agency; for aviation activities — the Civil Aviation Agency. The authorization is issued for an unlimited term.

When does the authorization lapse?

On the holder’s request; also if within 5 years the activity has not commenced, or if it has been suspended for 2 calendar years without substantiated repair or renewal works — in addition to the general grounds.

When is the annual emissions report due?

Annually, no later than 31 March of the respective year, in verified form; the verified report is published on the environmental information portal within 5 working days.

Carbon Credits in Georgian Law — the Absence of Regulation

We start with the main point directly: in Georgian environmental legislation the carbon credit, as a tradable instrument, is not separately regulated. The norms at this page’s foundation create no emissions-trading scheme, establish no national registry for the issuance or identification of credits, and define no status of a credit as a proprietary right. What the law does regulate is the regime of authorization and monitoring of greenhouse-gas emissions — which is not the trading of credits. So if you are looking for an answer on buying or selling credits, this page offers the legal backdrop within which such transactions take place, together with a plain statement that a separate scheme does not exist in the law.
