FACTBOX: Final EU carbon emissions deal

(Reuters) - European Union leaders agreed on a climate and energy package on Friday.

Some high-polluting power plants and factories will get carbon emissions permits for free under the EU's emissions trading scheme (ETS).

Regarding emissions outside that scheme, some countries will be able to offset more of their emissions by funding cuts in developing countries.

Below are details of the final compromise.

POWER PLANTS

Default

* Pay for all carbon permits called EU Allowances (EUAs) from 2013

Opt-out power plants

* In states where more than a third of power is produced from coal and income per capita is less than half EU average

* Get free EUAs equal to up to 70 percent of their average annual emissions from 2005-2007, and none free by 2020 * The quota of EUAs will take into account efficiency

* State aid for new super-efficient coal plants from 2013-16 that are ready for carbon capture technology

FACTORIES

Default

* Get 80 percent of their permits for free in 2013 and 30 percent free by 2020, with free permits phased out by 2027

Opt-out manufacturers

* Which are vulnerable to international competition

* Get 100 percent of their EUAs for free from 2013-2020 if they reach a technology benchmark

AID TO EASE COSTS OF CURBING CO2 EMISSIONS

EUA auction revenues will be allocated as follows

* 88 percent to member states as planned, according to their emissions

* 10 percent to member states according to per capita income and renewable energy production

* 2 percent to eastern European states

Extra EUAs to Lithuania to help balance increased carbon emissions following closure of Ignalina nuclear power plant

AID TO RENEWABLES AND CARBON CAPTURE

* 300 million tons of EUAs will be sold on the EU ETS carbon market to raise funds to test carbon capture and storage technology and support renewable energy 2. CARBON OFFSETTING OUTSIDE THE EU ETS

Default

* Member states can offset 3 percent of their emissions, which EU sources say is equivalent to about 50 percent of total emissions-cutting effort under the EU goal to cut greenhouse gases by one fifth compared with 1990 levels by 2020 Opt-out

* Twelve member states can offset 4 percent of 2005 emissions, which EU sources say is equivalent to about 90 percent of total emissions-cutting effort under the 2020 climate plan

* Defined as states producing more carbon emissions in their transport sector, or which produce a lot of renewable energy
