Emissions Trading Scheme in Italy and in the biggest European Countries
The report analyses the GHG emissions from the stationary installations belonging to the EU emissions trading system (EU-ETS). The analysis of energy consumption has been carried out for the Italian activity sectors. The results show the decrease of emissions from ETS sectors since 2005 and the decreasing emission factors for many sectors mainly due to the increasing share of natural gas and bioenergy, mostly in the power sector.
At European level the emissions from the main activity sectors of the biggest countries have been compared. Moreover, the ratio between free allowances, allocated to avoid carbon leakage, and verified emissions has been analysed at sectoral level to quantify any free allowances surplus at the end of the ETS 3rd phase.
