Figure 37. Hungary’s reference emissions, allocations and verified emissions, shown by sector<br />

Source: author’s calculation based on NAP and CITL data (Mt)<br />

So that correlations between emissions during the base period, allocations, and verified emissions<br />

quantities may be shown more clearly, the chart below is included <strong>for</strong> the six ETS sectors which<br />

had base period data to rely on. The darker diamond shapes show allocations, lighter squares<br />

compare verified emissions data to the base period <strong>for</strong> these six sectors, and the final set of data<br />

shows the average ratio. It is quite apparent that the average of the emissions data verified <strong>for</strong> 2005-<br />

2007 surpasses base period data in the case of two sectors (energy production and cement<br />

manufacturing), meaning that the six Hungarian <strong>EU</strong> ETS sectors surpassed the pre-system change<br />

levels by 3.7%, while other sectors emitted less than during the base period. The allocation was<br />

greater, in the case of every sector, than the average emissions during 1985-1987. The metal ore,<br />

steel and iron production sector received the greatest surplus of allowances in this context (47.5%<br />

more), while the glass producing industry got the least number of extra allowances (1.3% more) as<br />

compared to their emissions during the base period. Taken together, these six sectors obtained over<br />

20% more allowances than the reference level.<br />
