The emission allowance is defined in Article 3(a) of the EU ETS Directive as being "an allowance to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent during a specified period, which shall be valid only for the purposes of meeting the requirements of this Directive and shall be transferable in accordance with the provisions of this Directive".

Prices for EU allowances for December 2010 delivery dropped 8.7% to 12.40 euros a tonne. [98] In March 2012, according to the Periodical Economist, the EUA permit price under the EU ETS had "tanked" and was too low to provide incentives for firms to reduce emissions. The permit price had been persistently under €10 per tonne compared to ...
The price of EU allowances exceeded 100€/tCO 2 ($118) in February 2023. [109] A 2024 study further demonstrated that the EU ETS has incidentally contributed to reduce atmospheric levels of air pollutants in the EU including sulfur dioxide, fine particulate matter, and nitrogen oxide. [113]
A price floor also provides certainty and stability for investment in emissions reductions: recent experience from the UK shows that nuclear power operators are reluctant to invest on "un-subsidised" terms unless there is a guaranteed price floor for carbon (which the EU emissions trading scheme does not presently provide).
One exception is the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) which exceeded €100 ($108) per ton of CO 2 in February 2023. [8] A carbon tax is generally favoured on economic grounds for its simplicity and stability, while cap-and-trade theoretically offers the possibility to limit allowances to the remaining carbon budget.

Prices on the compliance market are generally higher. They vary based on geography, with EU and UK ETS credits trading at higher prices than those in the US in 2022. [87] [88] Lower prices on the VCM are in part due to an excess of supply in relation to demand. Some types of offsets are able to be created at very low costs under present standards.
The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) is the carbon emission trading scheme of the United Kingdom. [1] It is cap and trade and came into operation on 1 January 2021 following the UK's departure from the European Union. [2] The cap is reduced in line with the UK's 2050 net zero commitment. [3]
