Data sources

This data set is mainly based on data extracted from the European Union Transaction Log (EUTL) on 10th April 2018. The EUTL checks and records all transactions taking place within the trading system.

It is run by the European Commission. See: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/ets. The data set also includes information on auctions of allowances, compiled from auctioning platforms, as well as EEA estimates of ETS emissions for the period 2005 to 2012, to reflect the current scope of the ETS for the third trading period (2013–2020). See more information in the manual.
