Greenhouse gas emissions under the EU Emissions Trading System
Since its launch in 2005, Europe’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has aided large reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and energy-intensive industries. Carbon pricing, fuel switching and climate policies, including those backing renewable energy, supported a 51% decline in emissions from stationary installations from 2005 to 2024. Aviation, also under the EU ETS, shows a different trend with 2024 emissions rebounding close to pre-pandemic levels. For the ETS scope, including international shipping, projections indicate that the 62% reduction target by 2030, compared to 2005 levels, is within reach.

Application of the Emissions Trading Directive by EU Member States — reporting year 2008
According to Article 21 of the Emissions Trading Directive, Member States shall report annually on its application. The reporting obligation allows the Commission to continuously follow the implementation of the Directive and provides information for the Commission's review report under Article 30 of the Directive. By late October 2008, Article 21 reports had been received from all Member States. The responses in those reports were assessed by the EEA and its European Topic Centre on Air and Climate Change (ETC/ACC) and compiled into this report.
