This paper attempts to study the main accounting perspectives regarding emission allowances with a special focus on the derived problems of accounting divergence due to the lack of specific guidance addressing the accounting issues of this particular area. With that purpose, the study will introduce the fundamental accounting issues concerning GHG emissions.

This accounting divergence hinders the ability of shareholders, regulators and creditors to truly understand the firms´ financial situation since it undermines the comparability of financial statements.
