Abstract
This article describes the problem of the CO2 emission permits market and introduces several important changes to the standard model, in particular a new goal function, transactions with price negotiations between regions and - as a consequence of introducing prices for permits – the possibility of investigating the influence of purchase/sale prices on the market. An additional novelty is the method of simulating such a market, which is based on a specialized evolutionary algorithm (EA).
