European Union Aviation Allowance (EUAA)

What is an EUAA?
An European Union Aviation Allowance (EUAA) is a CO2 emission right that allows airlines that fall under the regulations of the European Emission Trading Scheme to pollute one metric ton of CO2.
Starting from 2012 aviation will be included in the cap and trade system for CO2. Airlines that perform flights which arrive at or depart from an aerodrome situated in the EU will have to participate in the ETS.
In 2012 each airline will receive 85% of the EUAAs for free from their administrating state. The remaining15% will be auctioned. If an airline is short in allocated EUAA’s they are allowed to buy CERs or ERUs up until 15% of the total amount of allowances they need to hand in at the end of the year. The remaining deficit needs to be covered by EUAAs or EUAs.
