EEX awarded mandate to host the fourth EU Common Auction Platform (CAP4)
EEX has been appointed by the European Commission to host the fourth phase of the Common Auction Platform (CAP4) for the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) emissions allowances, starting January 2027.
The CAP4 mandate covers EU ETS1 auctions for 25 EU Member States, three EEA EFTA states as well as funds already included under the third phase of the Common Auction Platform (CAP3). Separately, it will include the new EU ETS2 system for 27 EU Member States, the three EEA EFTA states as well as the Social Climate Fund, bringing buildings, road transport and small industry under the umbrella. EU ETS2 is a stand-alone ETS and the respective allowances are non-fungible with allowances from the EU ETS1.
