Summary of draft National Allocation Plan
The government of Malta is required under Directive 2003/87/EC to prepare a National Allocation Plan to show how it will implement the EU Emissions Trading Scheme during the second Trading Period from January 2008 to December 2012.

The government has determined that allowances totalling 14.85 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) should be allocated to installations in Malta to cover this second phase of emissions trading.

At present only one sector (the power generation sector) falls within the scope of the emissions trading scheme, and a total of 11 million tonnes of CO2 in allowances has been allocated across the two existing installations in this sector over the five-year period, taking account of projected growth in electricity consumption including the impact of measures to reduce demand, more efficient electricity generation and the contribution of renewable energy sources.
