In Cooperation With

Öko-Institut, Fraunhofer ISI

The project will contribute to the evaluation and further development of the European emissions trading system (EU ETS). The goal is to provide scientific advice to the Federal Environmental Agency (UBA/DEHSt) and the Federal Ministry for the Environment in the national implementation, evaluation and further development of the EU ETS. The project builds on previous projects on national allocation plans and the development of the EU ETS. The focus is on evaluating the experience with the EU ETS, taking account of available data, including the newly collected data for the third trading period. In addition, we discuss whether and under what circumstances an adjustment of the cap for the third trading period would be appropriate.
