UK first to auction carbon
The Government has held Europe's first carbon allowance
auction in Phase II (2008 - 2012) of the EU Emissions Trading
Scheme (EU ETS). Four million allowances were sold at a total value
of £54m excluding VAT, or £13.60 per allowance.

industrial sectors. These sectors are collectively responsible for
close to half of the EU's emissions of carbon dioxide.
