> eliminating sectors of emissions will make room in the ETS system for more essential uses

I'm worried it might make room for less essential uses. Each buyer removed from the market, lowers the market price. So it will bring back the buyers that were previously priced out.

Yes, this does presume that the maximum price a buyer is willing to pay, corresponds to how "essential" their use is. But I guess that's the premise of ETS.
