Airlines reporting under the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) surrendered 0.9 million units in 2023. Each unit is equivalent to one metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
By April 30 of each year, all airlines participating in the EU ETS must surrender a quantity of allowances to fully cover their emissions. By surrendering these allowances, the participants compensate for their emissions from the previous year. These airlines receive tradable allowances that cover a certain level of emissions from their flights per year. CO₂ emissions from aviation have been included in the EU ETS since 2012. In 2023, EU ETS aviation emissions totaled 48 MtCO₂e.
