Officially called the European Union Allowance, the EUA is a tradable unit, launched according to the European Union Emissions Trading scheme. The holder of this unit is granted the right to release one tonne of carbon dioxide, or the same amount of equivalent gases, including perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and nitrous oxide (N2O). The EUA units are auctioned to the EU ETC members and are traded through the carbon market. The companies within the scheme that emit more carbon must purchase extra EUAs, while the companies reducing their carbon emissions are entitled to sell their extra EUAs.
