Aviation has been included in the EU ETS since 2012. Emissions covered by all countries participating in the EU ETS. The sharp drop in aviation emissions from 2012 to 2013 reflects a change in the scope of aviation activities covered by the EU ETS.Â
Covers emissions for all countries participating in the EU ETS, as well as the Innovation fund, Modernisation Fund, NER 300 auctions, and Recovery and Resilience Facility.

Verified emissions under EU ETS 2005-2024, by sector
The combustion of fuels was the biggest contributor to verified emissions covered by the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) in 2024, having emitted almost *** million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCOâ‚‚e). Emissions from fuel combustion, which mainly come from the power sector, accounted for roughly ** percent EU ETS stationary installation emissions in 2024.
