Small TNAC Decline Due to Higher Supply, Weak Demand

EMISSIONS

The TNAC in 2023 declined by 2% on the year due to a slight increase in allowances supply and weaker demand according to BNEF.

  • Emissions covered by the EU ETS declined by 19% on the year amid renewables growth and muted economic growth.
  • However, the decline is significantly smaller than in 2022, when TNAC fell by 22% on the year.
  • The European Commission announced the TNAC on the European carbon market on 1 June, reducing the auction volume by 267 million between Sept 24 and Aug 25 according to a statement. The 2023 TNAC stood at 1,1111,736, 535.
  • BNEF forecasts EU ETS prices to average €64/ton CO2e this year, down by €20/ton CO2e on the year.
  • The decline in prices is due to low demand and an increase in total allowances supply of 4% on the year.
