The Market Stability Reserve is an automatic adjustment mechanism that alters auction volumes when the Total Number of Allowances in Circulation (TNAC) – a measure of allowance surplus – is above or below predefined triggers. The MSR, as now established in the EU, aims to maintain a certain supply-demand balance to keep the carbon price signal at levels necessary to achieve the EU decarbonization target.
