Statements
An Emissions Trading System (ETS) sets a cap on greenhouse gas emissions. Entities must hold one allowance per tonne of emissions and can trade these allowances. The cap size limits the total allowances, and the carbon price is determined by supply (available units) and demand (total emissions), creating flexibility while controlling overall emissions.
