EU ETS by year, estimated

YearShipsEU ETS tAllowancesCost
2025 23 223,346 156,342 €13,307,872
≈ US$14,938,086
2024 22 335,559 134,224 €11,425,119
≈ US$12,824,696

Allowances = the reported EU ETS emissions × the share to surrender for the year (2025: 70 %, due 30 September 2026; 2024: 40 %, due 30 September 2025; Directive 2003/87/EC Art. 3gb, 12(3)), at €85.12 each. The company's verified total in the Union Registry decides what it has to surrender; ice-class reductions it claims are not deducted here. When a ship changes company, the previous company files a partial report for its time with the ship (Regulation (EU) 2015/757 Art. 11(2)); this page adds the reports this company filed. EU ETS t: t CO₂.
