Its aim is to reduce the cost of compliance to existing targets under the Kyoto Protocol. Since January 1, 2005, companies in high-energy sectors covered by the scheme must limit their CO2 emissions to allocated levels, arranged in two periods: from 2005-2007 and 2008-2012 (to match the first Kyoto commitment period). In practice, the scheme is likely to cover over 10,000 installations across the European Union, corresponding to approximately forty-six percent of the total EU CO2 emissions. The EU ETS represents a significant development in working at an international level to combat dangerous climate change. This publication presents a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the EU ETS.
