Operating within a carbon allowance

The Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is a Europe-wide scheme that aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and combat the threat of climate change. ETS puts a price on the carbon that businesses use to ensure emissions are effectively limited. 

Industries involved in the ETS include power generation, iron and steel, glass and cement. The ETS covers about 40% of the European Union's total carbon dioxide emissions and more industry sectors will be affected by the scheme as it expands.
