European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)Published on 15-04-2009

Covering more than 12,000 installations, the EU ETS is the by far largest emissions trading scheme in the world. The aim is to give reductions of CO2-emissions a value and extra emissions a cost. COGEN Europe has given its recommendations throughout the negotiation process of this piece of European environmental legislation. The application of this complex system needs to support the original intention to promote low-carbon energy solutions such as cogeneration.
