The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) was conceived with the purpose to decrease the EU’s emissions trajectory in important sectors, including energy production, energy intensive industries and aviation. As a market-based mechanism, this should happen in a cost-effective way, as the market players will cut emissions where it is the cheapest to do so. Approximately 45 % of European emissions fall within the ETS.

The basic premise of a market-based solution is that other national policies regarding emission reductions in these sectors would not be needed. Indeed, any national policy targeting activities in the ETS sector will be both more costly and meaningless from an emissions point of view. The maximum and minimum amount of emissions in the ETS stays the same no matter what other policies are put in place inside the ETS sectors. Those emissions can only be affected by decreasing the amount of emissions credits in the ETS.
