A robust redistribution mechanism: financing public climate projects

Carbon Market
Summary

The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) redistributes revenue from carbon allowance auctions to fund public climate projects and support national decarbonization goals, including renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives. Funds are also allocated to the Innovation Fund and Modernisation Fund for developing new emissions-reducing technologies and modernizing energy systems in lower-income EU states. This demonstrates responsible investing in green finance and the European carbon market.

The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is more than a financial incentive for industries to adopt greener practices; it is a crucial mechanism for redistributing funds to support public climate projects

Through the EU ETS primary market, participants buy European Union Allowances (EUAs) in daily auctions. The revenue generated from these auctions is centralized and redirected to various climate-related initiatives, making sure that the process is transparent and equitable.

In 2023, €33.04 billion of EUA revenue was allocated to individual member states. These funds are important for advancing national climate and energy projects, such as developing renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency. They help countries meet their local decarbonization goals and fulfill national environmental targets.

Also, the Innovation Fund, which received €1.74 billion in 2023, supports the development of new technologies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. This includes investments in renewable energy, energy storage, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). Meanwhile, the Modernisation Fund, with €5.65 billion allocated in 2023, focuses on modernizing energy systems and improving efficiency in lower-income EU member states.
