A European Emissions Trading System Powered by Distributed Ledger Technology: An Evaluation Framework

Abstract: The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a major pillar of the European energy policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the reportedly pervasive frauds in this market are constraining the beneficial role of the EU ETS. In this conceptual paper, we propose to digitalize the EU ETS by distributed ledger technology (DLT), enabling the verification of authenticity and provenance, proof of ownership, and lifecycle traceability of carbon certificates and assets. Our platform allows verifiab… Show more

“…The European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is the world's largest and first international carbon trading mandated scheme, functioning since 2005. 1 It regulates around half of Europe's total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and encompasses over 11,000 plants and industrial sites in 31 countries (Mandaroux et al 2021). The mechanism governs the allocation of allowances on an annual basis.…”

“…In 2022, as the world faces a shift from the traditional employment model and the rapid progress of information technology development while struggling with the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and limited supplies of coal, oil and gas, the existing energy carriers will need to change. Regulations on the reduction of CO 2 emissions introduced by the European Union force numerous changes dictated by economic factors and related to environmental protection [2][3][4]. To reduce CO 2 emissions, the EU has introduced a system related to CO 2 emission allowances (ETS) [5][6][7].…”
