Search Emissions Trading Permits
Reducing man-made greenhouse gas emissions can help to limit global warming. The EU emissions trading system (EU ETS) is an essential part of the EU’s policy to combat climate change. The EU ETS is a “cap and trade” scheme where a limit (the cap) is placed on the right to emit specified pollutants over a geographic area and companies can trade emission rights within that area. It is the key tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), from electricity generation and industry. The EU ETS makes investing in environmentally friendly technology economically beneficial for industry and airlines.
