Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and how does it work?
The EU ETS is the world’s largest carbon market, designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions cost-effectively. It operates on a “cap-and-trade” model where regulated companies must monitor their emissions, hold sufficient allowances, and surrender them each year in line with verified emissions.
Which sectors are covered under the EU ETS?
The EU ETS currently applies to the power and manufacturing sectors, aviation operators within and into the EU/EEA, and since 2024 maritime shipping over 5,000 GT. The share of maritime emissions covered will increase to 100% by 2026.
How can companies manage rising EUA costs under the EU ETS?
EUA prices can fluctuate significantly based on market dynamics, policy shifts, and demand. Karbon-X helps organizations build strategic procurement plans to secure allowances at the right time, manage price risk, and align compliance with financial planning.
What is a Maritime Operator Holding Account (MOHA) and do I need one?
A MOHA is required for ship operators under the EU ETS to hold and surrender allowances. Karbon-X guides clients through MOHA setup and administration in the correct EU member state.
Can EU ETS compliance be integrated with voluntary carbon market strategies?
Many organizations choose to address emissions beyond their compliance obligations by participating in the voluntary carbon market. This can help cover Scope 3 emissions, support ESG targets, and demonstrate climate leadership.
