Market Description
Compliance carbon markets are regulated trading systems where companies and institutions buy and sell government-issued emissions allowances to meet legally binding greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Each allowance typically represents the right to emit one metric tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) within a defined compliance period.
Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) are a core policy mechanism for reducing industrial emissions under national or supranational climate frameworks. The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is the world's largest and most liquid carbon market, covering more than 40% of the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions.
The ECM Compliance Carbon Market connects corporates, brokers, and regulated entities to trade spot emissions allowances with full registry integration and robust settlement workflows. Structured hedging products and forward contracts are managed separately under the Environmental OTC Derivatives Market.
Market Scale
In 2023, the global compliance carbon market was valued at over USD 800 billion, supported by strong EUA demand and the growth of new national ETS schemes, including Türkiye's upcoming compliance carbon market.
