Allocation and competitiveness in the EU Emissions Trading System: Options for Phase II and beyond (CTC609)

This report, based on collaborative research with Climate Strategies, examines the workings of the EU ETS to date and offers analysis and recommendations on its future development.

The study identifies seven key challenges to overcome for the second phase of the EU ETS and sets out the Carbon Trust's own conclusions and recommendations for the future of the EU ETS as an instrument that can both help business deliver emission reductions as efficiently as possible, and also protect and ultimately enhance business competitiveness in a CO₂-constrained world.
