emissziókvótakereskedelem
Emissziókvótakereskedelem, or emissions quota trading, is a market‑based environmental policy tool designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at lower overall costs. The system assigns each participating entity a quota, expressed in units of carbon dioxide equivalents (COEs), representing the maximum amount of a regulated pollutant they may emit during a specified period. Entities that reduce emissions below their quota may sell surplus allowances to those that exceed theirs, creating a financial incentive for efficient abatement.
The concept was pioneered in the 1990s under the Kyoto Protocol, which obliged industrialized nations to cut
Benefits of quota trading include economic efficiency, fostering innovation and low‑carbon technologies, and providing flexibility for
Emerging developments include stricter caps, integration of other pollutants, and expansion to non‑energy sectors. Other jurisdictions,
