Abstract: The Airplane Carbon Barter (ACB) mechanism is a sort of Personal Carbon Trading (PCT) system for allocating emissions allowances to French air travelers, combined with a barter mechanism at the shadow carbon price of €100 in the first year, and following the price growth trajectory defined in the Quinet II report for the following years. Based on the latest available data, each French citizen would have an emission allowance of 0.4 tons of carbon in the first year. The modus operandi is similar to a Covid-type app, with a QR code required at check-in by airlines to obtain a boarding pass. The personal carbon account is reserved for French nationals or residents of France. We estimate that the TCA could lead to a 6% reduction in total emissions in the first year, for a market exchange value of around €1.5 billion. The TCA is also a transfer mechanism that redistributes purchasing power essentially from the last decile to the first decile, which could increase its purchasing power by 0.5%. We also propose a variant of the ACB mechanism to make it consistent with the EU-ETS.
