Sandbag is a campaigning organisation currently focused on emissions trading.
Sandbag gives you the power to easily remove tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere and campaigns for tighter caps on emissions.
Mapping European carbon emissions and allocations
We're looking for information and corrections of our data and we'd love to hear from you. Click here to contact us.
Welcome to our new and improved map of industrial greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Since 2005, factories and power stations have been subject to legal caps on their emissions. To comply with these caps, participants must submit pollution permits to match their emissions. Each one is equivalent to a tonne of carbon dioxide. The permits were handed out for free and can be traded between participants.
Our map helps to show how much is being emitted by whom and how many permits they were given for free. In 2009 emissions fell below the caps leaving 70% of sites with more permits than they need (coloured red on the map). Sandbag campaigns to reduce the number of permits in circulation so that less pollution is allowed to take place.
