EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) freely allocated allowances 2005-2021

Published by Ian Tiseo, Feb 6, 2023
In 2021, EU ETS freely allocated allowances for all stationary installations totaled some 545 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) - a decrease of roughly 19 percent compared to 2020. The supply of allowances allocated for free has been falling each year since the second trading period ended in 2012. 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.
