Various activity sectors in Europe have experienced emissions reductions since the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) was launched in 2005. Emissions from the combustion of fuels, which primarily come from the power sector, decreased by almost 60 percent between 2005 and 2023, while GHG emissions released by cement and lime production fell by just over 40 percent. Meanwhile, emissions from the aviation industry, which have been included in the EU ETS since 2012, were roughly 10 percent below 2013 levels in 2023.
