ETS Data Explorer is a Carbon Insights product. It is not the European Commission's official Union Registry or Transaction Log. Figures cite official sources listed below.
Official surplus = Phase 2 bank + allowances issued since 2013 (free allocation, auctions and NER300; aviation and shipping from 2024) + international credits used 2013–2020 + allowances used for Effort Sharing flexibility − verified emissions since 2013 as reported by 31 March of the following year − allowances cancelled under Article 12(4). The reserve's intake is already out of the auctions.

Net = free allocation minus surrendered. Windfall and shortfall cost use each year's average EUA price (EEX auction average from 2013; ICE annual averages 2009 to 2012; 2008 from the price table).
Stationary installations (all registry activity codes except 10 and 50), aircraft operators and maritime operators stay separate. A chart that mixes them says so in its title.
Filter groups sum registry activity codes across 2005–2025, including the 2005–2012 codes. Combustion of fuels: 1 and 20. Refining of mineral oil: 21. Iron, steel and other metals: 3–5 and 22–28. Cement clinker and lime: 29–30. Glass, ceramics, mineral wool and gypsum: 31–34. Pulp and paper: 35–36. Chemicals: 37–44. Other activities: 45–46 and 99. Aircraft operators: 10. All stationary installations: every code except 10 and 50.
Late reports in the surplus are counted per installation. Totals in other views can differ by about 1 Mt because later corrections net out.
Installations reporting counts those with an obligation in the year. Missing counts are the same in every view.
