In 2022, the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) had total allocated allowances at some 897.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) for all stationary installations. This was a decrease of some 10 percent compared to the previous year. In particular, freely allocated allowances amounted to over 529 MtCO₂e in 2022. The EU Emissions Trading System is a carbon credit market used to mitigate climate change, and one of the tools to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
