Abstract: Abstract The European CO2 emission trading scheme results in a new input factor for CO2 emission-intensive companies. Therefore, one of the objectives of this chapter is to characterise this new input factor. Emission trading and possible mechanisms of allocating allowances to existing and new installations are also discussed. Different effects of emission trading in general and of the European CO2 emission trading scheme in particular are explained. Finally, the author shows how energy models can be used to develop consistent strategies for power companies within the framework of an emission trading scheme.
