The Emissions Trading Market Is Estimated To Witness High Growth Owing To Surging Implementation Of Carbon Trading Programs
The Emissions Trading market is estimated to be valued at US$ 334.80 billion in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 24% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Emissions trading, also known as cap and trade, is a policy mechanism where a cap is set on the total emissions of carbon dioxide or other pollutants. Companies or other groups are issued emission permits and are required to hold an equivalent number of allowances which represent the right to emit a specific amount. Those below their emissions target can sell surplus allowances to those who will exceed their target. This provides flexibility to affected companies while also ensuring that the total amount of allowed emissions is not exceeded.
Market Dynamics:
Surging implementation of carbon trading programs across regions is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, the European Union Emissions Trading System is considered as the largest trading system and has been implemented since 2005.In California also, the Global Warming Solutions Act has initiated a carbon trading program since 2013. Another factor fueling the market is growing prominence of pricing carbon indirectly as an alternative to direct carbon taxes. This makes the emission reductions more cost effective. Increasing adoption of emissions reduction goals along with net zero commitments by countries and companies is also propelling the demand for emissions trading mechanisms to achieve the targets.
