Euro-CASE Policy Position Paper
Reform Options for the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)

The central pillar of European climate policy, the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), is currently questioned in its ability to deliver its objectives as the allowance price is persistently low at around 5€ / tCO2. The cap was met and emissions actually declined in recent years, ensuring the environmental effectiveness of the scheme. However, the low price may affect the long-term cost-effectiveness of the instrument by reducing the incentive for investment and deployment of low carbon technologies. Consequently, no significant increase in the EU ETS allowance price is expected before 2020, and probably not beyond, without reform. While the reasons for the price decline are controversial, empirical analysis shows that only a small proportion of price fluctuations can be explained by factors such as the economic crisis, renewable deployment or international offsets. Therefore, it is likely that political factors and regulatory uncertainty have played a key role in the price decline. As a consequence, any reform of the EU ETS has to deliver a mechanism that reduces such uncertainty and stabilizes expectations of market participants. The Market Stability Reserve as proposed by the EU Commission is unlikely to address the problem of the low price, and the uncertainty of future price development remains substantial. The ability of the Market Stability Reserve to deliver long-term cost-effectiveness is thus questionable.
