European Emissions Trading 2011
In 2010 we estimate total emissions trading volumes (EUAs and CERs in the spot and forward markets) rose by 7% to 7,025 Mt. This was a modest increase by historical standards but it perpetuated a long run of uninterrupted and remarkable growth from the market’s emergence in the early 2000s. On a five year view, total volumes have risen almost eightfold from 914 Mt in 2006.
