EU ETS carbon data
EU Carbon (EUA) futures API
Pull EUA spot and forward-curve prices into models, dashboards, spreadsheets, and internal applications through one REST API. Use timestamped JSON instead of screen scraping or manual terminal exports.
Scope and fit
Use this when you need EUA price inputs in an application, model, or internal workflow. It is not the right product for official ICE settlement files, exchange-grade tick data, registry transactions, or compliance-of-record reporting.
EUA forward-curve contract codes
Request contracts by code from the standard prices endpoint. Representative contract codes are listed below; production integrations should read the returned metadata and current available contract list.
| Contract | API code |
|---|---|
| EUA Jun 2026 | EU_CARBON_FUTURES_2026_06 |
| EUA Sep 2026 | EU_CARBON_FUTURES_2026_09 |
| EUA Dec 2026 | EU_CARBON_FUTURES_2026_12 |
| EUA Mar 2027 | EU_CARBON_FUTURES_2027_03 |
| EUA Jun 2027 | EU_CARBON_FUTURES_2027_06 |
| EUA Dec 2027 | EU_CARBON_FUTURES_2027_12 |

Frequently asked questions
Does OilPriceAPI have an EUA futures API?
Yes. The EU ETS EUA forward curve is available through the standard prices endpoint. Request a contract by code, for example GET /v1/prices/latest?by_code=EU_CARBON_FUTURES_2026_12. The EUA spot price is available as EU_CARBON_EUR.
Which EUA contracts are available?
The available chain uses codes of the form EU_CARBON_FUTURES_YYYY_MM. Representative live contracts include monthly and quarterly EUA contracts from 2026 into 2027. Check the API response and current contract list before hard-coding production workflows.
How is this different from an exchange terminal?
OilPriceAPI is a normalized REST price feed for applications, dashboards, spreadsheets, and internal models. It is not an exchange terminal, registry, official settlement file, or compliance-of-record reporting system.
What does an EUA price represent?
EU_CARBON_EUR is the EU Emissions Trading System allowance price in EUR per tonne CO2 equivalent. EU_CARBON_FUTURES_* codes represent the corresponding EUA futures contracts for the stated delivery month.
How fresh is the EUA data?
Freshness is series-specific. Responses include the latest available timestamp so your application can evaluate whether the returned point is current enough for your workflow.
