Including carbon in the scheme also means putting a price on carbon in the market, beyond a shadow value for sectors not covered by the historical EU-ETS I without the need to extend the EU-ETS to the building and transport sectors (EU-ETS II). This paper aims to challenge this situation and to propose a shift from energy to carbon in an EEO scheme. To do so, we propose to take the case of the French EEO as an example and to assess how this existing scheme can evolve to better integrate the carbon dimension and contribute effectively to the national carbon mitigation strategy.
