The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a carbon emission trading scheme (or cap and trade scheme) that began in 2005 and is intended to lower greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. Cap and trade schemes limit emissions of specified pollutants over an area and allow companies to trade emissions rights within that area.

A comprehensive, upstream, auctioned cap-and-trade system is very similar to a comprehensive, upstream carbon tax. Yet, many commentators sharply contrast the two approaches. The main difference is what is defined and what derived. A tax is a price control, while a cap-and-trade system is a quantity control instrument. [54]
The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) is the second largest trading system in the world after the Chinese national carbon trading scheme. It covers over 40% of European GHG emissions. [74] California's cap-and-trade program covers about 85% of statewide GHG emissions. [55]
The price of CBAM certificates is linked to the price of EU allowances under the European Union Emissions Trading System introduced in 2005. [11] [12] The CBAM is designed to stem carbon leakage to countries without a carbon price, [13] and will also permit the EU to stop giving free allowances to some carbon-intensive sectors within its borders.
The bill proposed a cap and trade system, under which the government would set a limit (cap) on the total amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted nationally. Companies then buy or sell (trade) permits to emit these gases, primarily carbon dioxide CO 2. The cap is reduced incrementally over time to reduce total carbon emissions.
Each agreed to hold sufficient allowances to cover its actual emissions for that year, and participate in a cap and trade system, with an annually reducing cap. Each participant could then decide to take action to manage its emissions to exactly meet its target, or reduce its actual emissions below its target (thereby releasing allowances that ...
Cap and dividend is a market-based trading system which retains the original capping method of cap and trade, but also includes compensation for energy consumers. This compensation is to offset the cost of products produced by companies that raise prices to consumers as a result of this policy .
