Various activity sectors in Europe have experienced emissions reductions since the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) was launched in 2005. Emissions from the combustion of fuels, which primarily come from the power sector, decreased by 64 percent between 2005 and 2024, while GHG emissions released by cement and lime production fell by around 44 percent. Meanwhile, emissions from the aviation industry, which have been included in the EU ETS since 2012, were roughly 5.2 percent above 2013 levels, while emissions from chemicals have more than tripled.
