disclosure on page 30 regarding the performance of EUAs, your disclosure on page 45 regarding the comparison between the daily settlement
price of the Daily EUA Futures and the daily EUA End of Day Index values and your disclosure on page 46 regarding the comparison between

 U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences, page 63

 2. Comment : Refer to your first sentence in this section describing the discussion as "a summary of certain U.S.
federal income tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Shares." Please revise to clarify, if
true, that you disclose all material U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Shares,
not just "certain" consequences or advise.

 Response : The tax opinion
has been revised accordingly.

 3. Comment : Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K permits the tax opinion to be conditioned or qualified, provided the conditions
or qualifications are adequately described in the registration statement. Refer to your statement in the first paragraph that the discussion
in this section "represents, insofar as it describes conclusions as to the U.S. federal income tax law and subject to the limitations
and qualifications described herein, the opinion of Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP, U.S. federal income tax counsel to the Sponsor."
Please also refer to the statement in the third paragraph of the tax opinion filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the effect that tax counsel's
opinion in the registration statement as to material U.S. federal income tax consequences is "subject to the qualifications and
assumptions stated in the Discussion, the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, and the representations in the Representation
Letter." Please revise this section of the registration statement to disclose all limitations, qualifications and legal representations
to which the tax opinion is subject and have counsel revise its tax option to clarify that all such limitations, qualifications and representations
are disclosed in the registration statement discussion that constitutes counsel's opinion and to state, if true, that the representations
in the Representation Letter are factual representations rather than legal representations.

Delaware statutory provisions and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws.

 Response : The opinion has
been revised to remove the referenced exclusion.

 7. Comment : Refer to Exhibit 5.1. Pursuant to SLB 19 issued by the Division of Corporation Finance, the staff considers
it inappropriate for counsel to include in its opinion assumptions that are overly broad, that "assume away" the relevant
issue, or that assume any of the material facts underlying the opinion or any readily ascertainable facts. Accordingly, please have Potter
Anderson & Corroon LLP revise its legal opinion to exclude the Trust from assumption (ii) in paragraph B and remove assumption (v)
from paragraph C. For guidance, see Staff Legal Bulletin 19.II.b.3.

 Response : The opinion has
been revised accordingly.

 Re: COtwo Advisors Physical European Carbon Allowance Trust

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form
S-1

File No. 333-271910

Dear Mss. Baynes, Miller, Livingston and Bednarowski:

This letter sets forth responses to the written
comments received in a letter dated May 9, 2024, regarding Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration
Statement”) filed by COtwo Advisors Physical European Carbon Allowance Trust (the “Registrant”) on April 4, 2024 for
the purpose of registering shares of the Registrant. Unless otherwise noted, capitalized terms have the same meanings as used in the Registration
Statement.

Set forth below are the comments and the Registrant’s
response thereto.

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

Prospectus Summary

The Trust, page 1

 1. Comment: Refer to your response to comment 3 that
the Sponsor will determine the contents, manner and time of notice of any material Trust Agreement amendment, including to increase the
Sponsor’s Management Fee and that “[s]uch notice may be provided on the Trust’s website, prospectus supplement, post-effective
amendment or through a current report on Form 8-K and/or in the Trust’s annual or quarterly reports within a reasonable time of
a material amendment.” Please revise to clarify whether the investors will receive any notification prior to a material amendment
to the Trust Agreement and clarify that any material changes will be disclosed such that you satisfy your Exchange Act reporting obligations.

Response: The Registration Statement has been
revised accordingly.

Page 2

January 24, 2025

EUAs and the EUA Industry

Pricing of Allowances and Trading Volume, page 29

Comment: Refer to your response to comment 9. Please
revise to describe the EEX policies regarding whether adjustments will be made to the EUA End of Day Index published and to disclose how
the EEX evaluates its methodology. In addition, we note your disclosure that “[a]fter a Theoretical Price is determined, it is then
validated against the actual market situation at the relevant time, if available.” Please revise to clarify what you mean by “relevant
time.”

Response: The Registrant
intends to value its EUA holdings using the end of day settlement price for the Daily EUA Future. Therefore, the disclosure regarding
the calculation methodology of the EUA End of Day Index had been removed and the comment is no longer applicable.

Creation and Redemption of Shares, page 34

Comment: We note your revised disclosure on page 34 that
“[f]or a creation or redemption in cash, the Sponsor shall arrange for the EUAs represented by the baskets to be purchased from,
or sold to, a Liquidity Provider Selected by the Sponsor.” Please describe how the Sponsor selects a Liquidity Provider, identify
the Liquidity Providers the Sponsor has selected and describe the material terms of the agreements with the Liquidity Providers. Also
disclose whether any of the Liquidity Providers are affiliated with or have any material relationships with any of the Authorized Participants
or the Sponsor.

Response: The Registration
Statement has been revised accordingly.

Revision to Prior Response

We would like to revise our response to Comment 7
in the response letter dated January 16, 2024. We have reproduced the comment below. Our initial response explained why the EUA End of
Day Index is an appropriate price to use to value the Trust’s EUA holdings because EEX is a “principal market” for EUAs
for purposes of ASC 820. On account of comments received from the staff of the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets during the
consideration of the Exchange’s rule proposal pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Exchange Act and Rule 19b-4 thereunder, the Trust
has reverted to its original plan to use the end of day settlement price of the Daily EUA Future to value the trust’s EUA holdings.
Below is a revised ASC 820 accounting analysis regarding the use of the Daily EUA Futures settlement price as established by ICE ENDEX
to fair value EUAs.

Page 3

January 24, 2025

Comment: Please provide your ASC 820
principal market accounting analysis that supports the belief you expressed in your response to prior comment 11 that the Daily EUA Futures
price as established by ICE ENDEX represents the fair value of an EUA in accordance with ASC 820. That analysis should address, but not
be limited to, the following:

 ● Explain why you believe the Daily EUA Futures market is the principal market for the EUAs the trust will hold. In this regard, we
note that ASC 820-10-35-6 requires use of the price in the principal market for the asset or liability being fair valued and that the
asset you are measuring, EUAs, does not appear to be a futures contract.

 ● Tell us if the Trust has access to the EEX spot market and if not, why. See ASC 820-10-35-6A.

 ● By reference to the four types of markets defined in ASC 820, clarify for us to what type of market “OTC” refers and how
it operates.

 ● Explain how your principal market determination contemplates your disclosure on page 36 that the Trust will cause EUAs to be sold
through dealers in OTC transactions or directly on the EEX, ICE Endex, and Nasdaq Oslo exchanges. See ASC 820-10-35-5A. As part of this
explanation, clarify how you considered the fact that the Trust only transacts with Authorized Participants and what you mean when you
state “the Trust will cause EUAs to be sold” in certain markets.

Response: Under ASC Topic
820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
a willing buyer and a willing seller at the measurement date. Fair value is generally the amount that the Trust might reasonably expect
to receive upon the current sale of an EUA. The fair value measurement assumes that the sale occurs in the principal market for the security,
or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. If no market for the security exists or if
the Trust does not have access to the principal market, the asset should be valued based on the sale occurring in a hypothetical market.

ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy
that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these
levels are summarized below:

 Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access.

 Level 2:  Observable inputs other than quoted prices
included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices
for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments and similar data.

 Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Trust’s own assumptions about the assumptions
that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.

Page 4

January 24, 2025

A financial instrument is categorized
within the ASC 820 valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input to the valuation process that is significant to the fair value
measurement. ASC 820-10-35-37A.

There is no single standard for determining
fair value in good faith, as fair value depends upon the specific circumstances of each individual investment. Assessing the significance
of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and should consider factors specific to the asset or liability.
There are no bright lines for determining significance. A reporting entity should develop and consistently apply a policy for assessing
significance.

The Registrant believes that using the
last settlement price for the Daily EUA Future is an appropriate method for determining fair value of the Trust’s EUAs in good faith.
The Daily EUA Futures market functions as the “spot” market for EUAs. The purchase and sale of Daily EUA Futures is the functional
and economic equivalent of transactions in spot EUAs. The settlement, functionality and economic outcome for a spot purchase on the EEX
and a Daily EUA Future purchase on the ICE Endex are identical. Because the Daily EUA Future is physically settled through the delivery
of one lot of EUAs to the purchaser of the Daily EUA Future, whether the Trust acquires an EUA through a transaction on the EEX or through
the acquisition of a Daily EUA Future on ICE Endex, the Trust will acquire the same EUA on a T+1 basis. It is not possible for an acquirer
to roll a same day futures contract to a later dated future, as each day it would expire and the market participant would end up holding
physical EUAs. Therefore, Daily EUA Futures are identical instruments to spot EUAs.

The vast majority of secondary market
trading of EUA instruments with daily expiry trades occurs in the ICE Endex Daily EUA Futures market. For the twelve-months ended September
30, 2024, the average daily trading volume of Daily EUA Futures on the ICE Endex was 3,829 contracts, representing 3,829,000 EUAs, whereas
the average daily trading volume on the EEX was 146 round lots, representing 146,000 EUAs. Therefore, over that one year period, over
96% of all on-exchange secondary market trading of EUA instruments with daily expiry (which includes spot EUAs and Daily EUA Futures)
occurred on the ICE Endex. In fact, during the twelve-months ended September 30, 2024, 0 EUAs were traded on EEX on five different trading
days. Due to the extremely light volume transacted on the EEX, there is not always a bid or offer shown, and even when there is, it could
be well away from the actual tradeable market being shown on the ICE Endex. For this reason, the EEX may use prices of the Daily EUA Futures
as inputs for the calculation of its EUA End of Day Index if there are insufficient trades or orders on a certain day or if the Theoretical
Price does not reflect the actual market situation. Therefore, between the two potential markets for EUA instruments with daily expiry,
the ICE Endex Daily EUA Futures markets is the only one that can reliably provide an accurate price for spot EUAs.

Because the settlement price of the Daily
EUA Future is an observable input, it is not a Level 3 input. In addition, the Daily EUA Future settlement price is an observable input
for an identical instrument to a spot EUA, so it is a Level 2 input. There are no Level 1 inputs to use for valuing the Trust’s
EUA holdings. Because of the relative lack of EUA trading on the EEX, that cannot be used as a reliable source of prices for spot EUAs.
In addition, the Trust is not designed to operate as a commodity pool and the Sponsor is not registered as a commodity pool operator.
Therefore, the Trust does not have access to the Daily EUA Futures market on ICE Endex. For these reasons, the Sponsor anticipates categorizing
the Trust’s investment in EUAs as a Level 2 asset within the ASC 820 hierarchy, and the disclosure in the Registration Statement
has been revised accordingly.

The purchase or sale of EUAs by the Trust
are still separate and distinct transactions from the sale and redemption transactions in Trust Shares with Authorized Participants. The
Trust does not sell EUAs to Authorized Participants; rather, the Trust sells its Shares to Authorized Participants. The Trust enters into
the dealer market to transact with Liquidity Providers to buy and sell EUAs either in connection with cash creation and redemption transactions
or to pay Trust expenses. The Trust expects the Liquidity Providers and Authorized Participants to transaction on ICE Endex to acquire
the necessary EUAs to deliver to the Trust and to hedge its exposure. Because the ICE Endex functions as the spot market for EUAs, the
Trust believes that it is the best reference for valuing the Trust’s EUAs.

    Best regards,

    /s/ Eric Simanek

 Re: COtwo Advisors Physical European Carbon Allowance Trust

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form
S-1

File No. 333-271910

Dear Mss. Baynes, Miller, Livingston and Bednarowski:

This letter sets forth responses to the written
comments received in a letter dated February 23, 2024, regarding Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration
Statement”) filed by COtwo Advisors Physical European Carbon Allowance Trust (the “Registrant”) on January 16, 2024
for the purpose of registering shares of the Registrant. Unless otherwise noted, capitalized terms have the same meanings as used in the
Registration Statement.

Set forth below are the comments and the Registrant’s
response thereto.

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

Cover Page

 1. Comment: Please revise your cover page to disclose the termination date of the offering, if any, disclose that you are
registering an indeterminate number of Shares and disclose here that the Trust will not utilize leverage, derivatives or any similar arrangements
in seeking to meet its investment objective. In addition, we note your disclosure that Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is “expected to
be” the Initial Purchaser. Please revise to clarify what you mean by “expected to be.” You also disclose that the initial
amount of EUAs required for deposit with the Trust will be 10,000 EUAs per basket and that the Initial Purchaser will receive 50,000 Shares
such that the initial Basket will be created at a per basket price of 10,000 EUAs and a per Share price equal to 1/5 the value of a single
EUA on the purchase date. Please revise to disclose how the value of the EUAs will be calculated on the purchase date. Further, your disclosure
that the Initial Purchaser will receive 50,000 Shares appears to be inconsistent with your disclosure on page F-6 that “[t]he initial
Authorized Participant will make a minimum initial purchase of at least two Baskets of 50,000 Shares at a per Share price equal to the
value of 10,000 EUAs on the initial offering date.” Please revise for clarity and consistency.

Response: The Registrant notes that there
is no fixed termination date for the offering but has otherwise revised the Registration Statement accordingly. The inconsistency between
the number of Shares that will be purchased by the Initial Purchaser on the cover page and on page F-6, is due to revisions to NYSE Arca’s
rule proposal under Rule 19b-4 of the Exchange Act regarding the listing of the Shares. The financial statements were prepared prior to
the filing of NYSE Arca’s second rule proposal which revised the number of Shares that must be outstanding prior to commencement
of trading on NYSE Arca from 100,000 to 10,000. The Registrant has updated the disclosure on page F-6 accordingly.

Prospectus Summary

The Trust, page 1

 2. Comment: We note your disclosure on page 2 that the Trust is not involved in or responsible for the calculation or dissemination
of the indicative intra-day value per Share. Please revise to disclose who calculates the intra-day value per Share. In addition, your
disclosure on pages 2 and 38 that indicates that the IVF is calculated using the most recently reported EUA End of Day Index value seems
inconsistent with your disclosure on page 38 that describes the IVF as using the most recently reported mid-point of the bid/ask spread
of spot EUAs traded on the EEX. Please revise for consistency and clarity.

Response: The Registration
Statement has been revised accordingly.

 3. Comment: We note your disclosure on pages 2 and 18 that “the Sponsor and Trustee may agree to amend the Trust
Agreement, including to increase the Sponsor’s Management Fee, without shareholder consent.” Please revise to disclose when
and how Shareholders will be notified of a material change to the Trust Agreement.

Response: The Registration
Statement has been revised accordingly.

Trust Fees and Expenses, page

 4. Comment: Please revise to disclose whether any of the Trust’s expenses payable by the Sponsor from the Management
Fee are capped.

Response: The Registration
Statement has been revised accordingly.

Suspension of Issuance, Transfers
and Redemptions, page 8

 5. Comment: We note your disclosure that the Administrator will determine the NAV and the NAV per Share based on the value
of the EUA End of Day Index that is published daily on the EEX website. Please clarify why the ICE Endex and Nasdaq Oslo are material
to the valuation or operation of the Fund, and please disclose any other exchanges that are material to the valuation or operation of
the Fund. In addition, please disclose how you will inform Shareholders that creations and/or redemptions have been suspended.

Response: ICE Endex is material
to the valuation or operation of the Trust because of the large trading volume for EUAs with daily expiry that occurs on the ICE Endex.
As is noted in the Prospectus, ICE Endex currently is the only trading venue for Daily EUA Futures, which account for approximately 95%
of the EUAs with daily expiry. Therefore, even though the EEX is the principal market for EUAs and the end of day price disseminated by
EEX is used to calculate the Trust’s NAV each day, the price of the EUAs traded on the EEX and in over-the-counter markets is heavily
influenced by trading on the ICE Endex. Because of the volume of EUAs traded by means of the Daily EUA Future, the suspension of trading
on ICE Endex would significantly reduce the liquidity of EUAs. As a result, accurate price discovery would be impossible and bid/ask spreads
in EUA markets would significantly widen. Without accurate price discovery and with APs less willing to transact in EUAs due to the wider
spreads, disposal of the Shares of the Trust and determination of the NAV of the Shares would not be reasonably practicable in the event
that trading of the Daily EUA Future on ICE Endex was halted and, therefore, the Trust has to reserve the right to suspend creations and
redemptions of Shares in such a circumstance.

Nasdaq Oslo has been removed from the
above referenced disclosure because the single day EUA futures contract offered by Nasdaq Oslo is not traded in sufficient quantity to
be material to the valuation of the Trust’s holdings. No other exchange is material to the valuation or operation of the Trust.
The Registration Statement has been amended to disclose how the Trust will inform Shareholders that creations and/or redemptions have
been suspended.

Risk Factors

Risks Related to the Trust’s Investments

The Trust will face currency exchange rate risk, page 13

 6. Comment: We note your disclosure on page 13 that “[a]s of May 10, 2023, the exchange rate was 1.0982 Euro/U.S.
dollar,” and we note that your graph on page 27 stops at December 28, 2021. Please revise to update your disclosure here and throughout
to the most recent practicable date.

Response: The Registration
Statement has been revised accordingly.

Risks Related to the Trust’s Structure

The service providers engaged by the Trust may not carry adequate
insurance, page 18

 7. Comment: Please revise to disclose whether any of the service providers engaged by the Trust, including the Union Registry,
carry insurance, and, if so, the degree to which such insurance covers the assets of the Trust.

Response: The Registration
Statement has been revised accordingly.

EUAs and the EUA Industry

Pricing of Allowances and Trading Volume, page 26

 8. Comment: Please disclose here when the EEX calculates and publishes the EUA End of Day Index. In addition, please disclose
what constitutes a qualifying trade, including quantitative information regarding requirements for the quantity of traded contracts, the
quantity of contracts per order, the minimum duration of the cumulated valid best bid and best ask and the maximum spread per contract.
Also revise to disclose the sources of the data used for calculating the EUA End of Day Index. In this regard, we note your disclosure
that “[t]he data used for calculating the EUA End of Day Index can also come from fair values collected in a price committee or
from other price sources.” Revise to disclose the methodology for determining “fair values,” disclose what you mean
by a “price committee” and identify the “other price sources.” Further, please revise to describe the situations
in which the EEX will use these alternative sources of data.

Response: The Registration
Statement has been revised to more completely describe the methodology for determining the daily value of the EUA End of Day Index. This
description addresses the requests in the comment.

 9. Comment: We note your disclosure that, after the EUA End of Day Index price is calculated, it is then validated against
actual market prices. Please revise to describe the validation methodology used by the EEX, and the policies regarding whether adjustments
will be made to the EUA End of Day Index published. In addition, please disclose the impact that such adjustments could have on the NAV
of the Trust. Also disclose how the EEX evaluates its methodology and how the Sponsor will notify Shareholders of any material changes
to the EEX’s methodology. Further, disclose here whether the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion change the index and, if so, its
criteria for choosing to do so, its criteria for selecting a new index and how the Sponsor will notify Shareholders of such a change.

Response: The Registration
Statement has been revised to more completely describe the methodology for determining the daily value of the EUA End of Day Index. This
description addresses the requests in the comment.

Regulation, page 28

 10. Comment: Please expand the disclosure in this section to provide a brief explanation of the MAR, MiFID II and MiFIR.

Response: The Registration
Statement has been revised accordingly.

Activities of the Trust

Trust Objective, page 29

 11. Comment: Please revise to disclose the material terms of the agreement with the Union Registry.

Response: The Registrant
notes that there is no agreement with the Union Registry. A user simply opens an account with the Union Registry, similar to how a customer
opens a bank account. In opening an account, a user must agree to certain User Terms and Conditions; the Registration Statement has been
revised to describe the material elements of the User Terms and Conditions.

Creation and Redemption of Shares, page 29

 12. Comment: Please revise to expand your disclosure to discuss whether the Sponsor may direct the Administrator to use
a different methodology, and, if so, the criteria the Sponsor will consider to determine whether to direct the Administrator to use a
different valuation methodology. Please include a description of the different methodology the Sponsor may direct the Administrator to
use.

Response: In response to
Comment #9, above, the “Pricing of Allowances and Trading Volume” has been revised to disclose when the Sponsor may direct
the Administrator to value the Trust’s assets using a reference other than the EUA End of Day Index. The Sponsor would not direct
the Administrator to make any other changes to the methodology for valuing the Trust’s assets. The Registrant notes that there is
no similar disclosure about the methodology for valuing the Trust’s assets in the “Creation and Redemption of Shares”
section, so it respectfully believes that it has effectively addressed this comment with the disclosure changes in the “Pricing
of Allowances and Trading Volume” section.

Page 6

April 4, 2024

 13. Comment: Please revise to disclose whether there is any cost associated with transferring EUAs from the Trust to Authorized
Participants and from the Authorized Participants to the Trust. If so, please disclose whether the Trust or the Authorized Participants
pay such fees. In addition, we note your revised disclosure on page 31 that “[t]here may be circumstances where an Authorized Participant
can only deliver whole lots of EUAs, consisting of 1,000 EUAs, in exchange for Baskets of Shares.” Please explain why this may be
the case and revise to provide examples of such circumstances. You also disclose that “[t]herefore, to facilitate the creation of
Baskets, an Authorized Participant who must provide a fraction of a lot of EUAs may credit the Trust’s Union Registry account with
a whole lot of EUAs and the books and records of the Trust and the Authorized Participant will reflect a liability of the Trust for the
pro rata portion of EUA lot that is not owned by the Trust.” Please revise to disclose how the liability is settled.

Response: There will be
no fees associated with the transfer of EUAs in connection with in-kind creation or redemption orders. The Registration Statement has
been revised to state that transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of EUAs for cash creation and redemption orders will
be borne by the Authorized Participant. The Registration Statement has also been revised to explain why creation and redemption orders
may have to occur through transactions in whole lots of EUAs and to provide examples. Lastly, the Registration Statements has been revised
to permit cash creations and redemptions of Baskets; therefore, the last statement referenced in the comment has been removed and replaced
with a more detailed explanation of the creation and redemption order process associated with transactions in only round lots of EUAs.

Trust Expenses, page 37

 14. Comment: Please expand your disclosure here to describe the mechanics of how EUAs are sold by the Trust to pay the Sponsor’s
Management Fee, including a discussion of costs associated with transfers and sales of EUAs, and, if there are such costs, disclose whether
the Trust pays the transfer fees. In this regard, we note your disclosure that the Trust may sell EUAs through dealers in OTC transactions
or directly on the EEX, ICE Endex and Nasdaq Oslo exchanges. Please revise to disclose whether the Trust has agreements with any dealers,
and, if so, please disclose the material terms of such agreements and identify the dealers. In addition, please revise to disclose how
the Trust will liquidate its assets in connection with a termination of the Trust.

Response: The
Registration Statement has been revised accordingly. The Sponsor will assume any transaction costs related to the sale of EUAs to
pay Trust expenses, and such costs are expected be de minimis relative to the amount of EUAs sold in any transaction. Neither the
Trust nor the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust have entered into any agreements with dealers as of the date of this letter.

Response: The Registration
Statement has been revised to state that the initial fiscal year of the Trust will end on September 30, 2024.

    Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

    File No. 333-271910

Dear Mss. Baynes,
Miller, Livingston and Bednarowski:

This
letter sets forth responses to the written comments received in a letter dated June 28, 2023, regarding Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by COtwo Advisors Physical European Carbon Allowance Trust (the
“Registrant”) on May 12, 2023 for the purpose of registering shares of the Registrant. Unless otherwise noted, capitalized
terms have the same meanings as used in the Registration Statement.

Set
forth below are the comments and the Registrant’s response thereto.

Form S-1

page 28

 1. Comment:
                                            Refer to your response to comment 4 that the fragmented nature of data regarding the EU carbon
                                            market and the lack of a centralized market monitoring of the EU carbon market may make it
                                            more difficult to identify potential market manipulation and abuse practices. Please add
                                            a risk factor that addresses the risk to the Trust and its investors due to potential market
                                            manipulation and abuse practices in the EU carbon market.

Response:
The Registration Statement has been revised accordingly.

 2. Comment:
                                            Refer to your response to comment 8. Please revise to clearly show the impact to the Trust’s
                                            NAV and the NAV per share of selling multiple Creation Baskets at a discount over time. In
                                            this regard, it appears that your table is showing the discount to an Authorized Participant
                                            per EUA basket deposit and does not show the cumulative impact to the Trust's NAV and the
                                            NAV per share. In your analysis, please revise to remove the assumption that the Trust's
                                            NAV per share remains constant, and revise the assumptions such that the Trust's NAV, the
                                            NAV per Share and the price per EUA result in EUA basket deposits that would have resulted
                                            in a fractional EUA but for your policy of disregarding fractional EUAs.

The Registration statement has been revised accordingly.

 4. Comment:
                                            Refer to your response to comment 9. Please revise your table on page 38 to clarify that
                                            the Daily EUA Futures are traded on the ICE ENDEX with one contract representing 1,000 EUAs.

Response:
Registrant notes that it has determined to use the EUA End of Day Index value as opposed to the settlement price of Daily EUA Futures
to calculate its NAV. The EUA End of Day Index is a measure of the end of day price of spot EUAs, so it reflects the prices of the asset
held by the Trust and a comparison to the settlement prices of the Daily EUA Future, or any other measurement of the price of EUAs, would
serve no purpose. Therefore the referenced chart has been deleted.

 5. Comment:
                                            Refer to your response to comments 1 and 9. Please tell us why you consider the Daily EUA
                                            Future price as a more accurate measure of the price of EUAs than the spot market when “the
                                            price of the spot EUA is substantially identical to the settlement price for the Daily EUA
                                            Future.”

Response:
As noted in response 4 above, Registrant has determined to calculate the NAV using the EUA End of Day Index value as published by the
EEX instead of the settlement price of Daily EUA Futures.

 6. Comment:
                                            We note your response to prior comment 11. In order to help us further evaluate the applicability
                                            of ASC 946, please address the following:

 ● Confirm
for us that the Trust has appropriately concluded that it is not a 1940 Act Investment Company.

 ● More
fully evaluate whether you meet the fundamental characteristics of an investment company as defined by ASC 946 by referencing disclosure
supporting your exit strategy (e.g., ASC 946-10-55-7) and telling us whether you provide investments services, and if so, whether they
are substantive (e.g., ASC 946-10-55-5).

 ● More
fully evaluate the ASC 946-10-55-16 guidance related to the more than one investor typical characteristic.

Response:
Registrant confirms that it has appropriately concluded that it is not an “investment company,” as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), because the Registrant holds itself out as being and will be primarily
engaged in the business of investing in EUAs, which are not securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act.

As
discussed in prior response 11, the Trust possesses all of the fundamental characteristics of an investment company as defined by ASC
946. The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the price of EUAs, less the expenses of the
Trust’s operations. The Trust intends to achieve this objective by investing substantially all of its assets in EUAs. Barring the
forced liquidation of the Trust, the Trust will not purchase or sell EUAs directly, although the Sponsor may sell EUAs to pay certain
expenses. Instead, when it sells or redeems its Shares, it will do so in “in-kind” transactions. Authorized Participants
will deliver EUAs to the Trust in exchange for Shares when they purchase Shares, and the Trust will deliver EUAs to such Authorized Participants
when they redeem Shares from the Trust. See “Prospectus Summary – Trust Objective” in the Registration Statement. ASC
946-10-55-7 states that “an investment company whose business purpose and substantive activities include realizing capital appreciation
should have an exit strategy for how it plans to realize the capital appreciation of its investments.” While the investment strategy
of the Trust is to acquire and hold EUAs, any disposition of EUAs by the Trust will be done by selling EUAs on the EEX or other exchange
where the trading of spot EUAs takes place. Any appreciation in the value of the EUAs held by the Trust will be reflected in the sale
price of the EUAs on the applicable exchange. Additionally, the Trust provides no investment-related services (as described in ASC 946-10-55-5)
to other entities. It simply holds the EUAs that it receives through the sale of Creation Units.

Registrant
notes that it will operate as an exchange-traded fund with its Shares offered to the public upon the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and the listing of its Shares on the NYSE Arca. The Trust expects its Shares to be widely held by retail and institutional
investors that acquire Shares in the secondary market. As such, the Trust clearly will have more than one investor and will pool the
funds from those investors to invest in EUAs. Hence, the Registrant fully meets the typical characteristic of an investment company of
having more than one investor.

 7. Comment:
                                            Please provide your ASC 820 principal market accounting analysis that supports the belief
                                            you expressed in your response to prior comment 11 that the Daily EUA Futures price as established
                                            by ICE ENDEX represents the fair value of an EUA in accordance with ASC 820. That analysis
                                            should address, but not be limited to, the following:

 ● Explain
why you believe the Daily EUA Futures market is the principal market for the EUAs the trust will hold. In this regard, we note that ASC
820-10-35-6 requires use of the price in the principal market for the asset or liability being fair valued and that the asset you are
measuring, EUAs, does not appear to be a futures contract.

 ● Tell
us if the Trust has access to the EEX spot market and if not, why. See ASC 820-10-35-6A.

Page 4

January 16, 2024

 ● By
reference to the four types of markets defined in ASC 820, clarify for us to what type of market “OTC” refers and how it
operates.

 ● Explain
how your principal market determination contemplates your disclosure on page 36 that the Trust will cause EUAs to be sold through dealers
in OTC transactions or directly on the EEX, ICE Endex, and Nasdaq Oslo exchanges. See ASC 820-10-35-5A. As part of this explanation,
clarify how you considered the fact that the Trust only transacts with Authorized Participants and what you mean when you state “the
Trust will cause EUAs to be sold” in certain markets.

Response:
Registrant notes that the EUAs held by the Trust will be valued at fair value under ASC 820 using the EUA End of Day Index value as published
by the EEX. The EUA End of Day Index is published by the EEX and is based on the prices at which EUAs traded in the EEX spot market over
the prior day. The EEX is the primary market for EUAs, based on the following factors:

 ● The
                                            EEX is the sole auction platform on which auctions for new EUAs are conducted; and

 ● The
                                            EEX is the sole market that has contracted with the European Union to run a secondary market
                                            in spot EUAs.

The
Trust also has access to the EEX spot market through brokers that buy and sell EUAs on the EEX, like any other U.S. ETF that can buy
and sell securities on a U.S. national securities exchange through a broker. Therefore, the EUA End of Day Index is the appropriate price
to use to value the Trust’s holdings because EEX is the principal market for EUAs, as required by ASC 820-10-35-6.

As
noted in the Registration Statement, the Trust may sell EUAs in OTC transactions. The OTC market is a “dealer market,” as
described in ASC 820, where dealers that transact in EUAs for their own accounts publish bids throughout the trading day to acquire EUAs.
The Trust will be able to sell EUAs to a participating dealers at the current bid price at any time during the EUA trading day. In this
case, the Trust will deliver the required number of EUAs to the Union Registry account of the purchasing dealer.

According
to ASC 820-10-35-5A, “[i]n the absence of evidence to the contrary, the market in which the reporting entity normally would enter
into a transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability is presumed to be the principal market.” The Trust may sell EUAs
(the phrase “cause EUAs to be sold” is synonymous with “sell EUAs”) to raise any cash necessary to pay Trust
expenses. In that case, the Trust will either sell EUAs in OTC transactions or on an exchange that serves as a venue for spot EUA transactions.
Currently, the only exchange on which spot EUA transactions are executed is the EEX. Therefore, the EEX should be considered the principal
market for EUAs and the EUA End of Day Index disseminated by the EEX should be considered the fair value of an EUA.

The
sale of EUAs by the Trust to pay Trust expenses does not relate in any way to the sale and redemption transactions in Trust Shares with
Authorized Participants. The Trust does not sell EUAs to Authorized Participants; rather, the Trust sells its Shares to Authorized Participants.
The fact that the Trust sells and redeems Creation Units in exchange for in-kind deposits of EUAs does not mean that a market other than
EEX is the principal market for EUAs, just as the sale and redemption of shares of equity ETFs in exchange for in-kind deposits of stocks
does not mean that a market other than the exchange on which the stocks trade is a primary market for those stocks.

Best regards,

    /s/ Eric Simanek

Dear
Mss. Baynes, Miller, Livingston and Bednarowski:

This
letter sets forth responses to the written comments received in a letter dated March 30, 2023, regarding Amendment No. 1 to the Draft
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) confidentially submitted by COtwo Advisors Physical European
Carbon Allowance Trust (the “Registrant”) on March 13, 2023 for the purpose of registering shares of the Registrant. Unless
otherwise noted, capitalized terms have the same meanings as used in the Registration Statement.

Set
forth below are the comments and the Registrant’s response thereto.

Amendment
No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1

General

 1. Comment:
                                            Please tell us, and revise your disclosure to disclose, why you have chosen to structure
                                            the product to hold physical carbon allowances in light of your disclosure that the futures
                                            market is more liquid and active than the spot market.

 Response:
Our disclosure in regards to the futures market being more liquid than the spot market was in the context of describing the same day
futures market versus the spot market.  It is important to note that functionally, a same day futures contract acts like a spot
market.  The contract that trades will settle for the physical underlying EUA after the close of business each day.  In this
manner, the settlement, functionality and economic outcome for a spot purchase on the EEX and a same day futures purchase on the ICE
are identical. Whether the Trust acquires an EUA through a transaction on the EEX or through the acquisition of a Daily EUA Future on
the ICE, at the end of the day the Trust will acquire the same instrument. The acquisition of the EUA through a Daily EUA Future or through
the spot market is merely a different means of acquiring an EUA – it is not the acquisition of a different instrument. It is worth
noting that the EU contracted with the EEX to run a spot and auction market.  The same day futures contract gives the ICE the ability
to compete for this trading business because it is functionally identical to the spot EUA.

Page 2

May 12, 2023

It
would be impossible to structure an ETF to hold a same day futures contract, as each day it would expire and the ETF would end up holding
physical EUAs. It is not possible to roll a futures position to a later dated contract when it expires each day.

The
only option would be structure an ETF around later dater futures products which have several drawbacks as compared to a physical ownership
structure.  The following is a partial list of the advantages of a physical EUA fund over a structure that would rely on long dated
futures (Please note the list is not exhaustive):

 ● A
                                            longer dated futures contract has both volatility and time value for the contract built in,
                                            which will decay over time causing a loss of investment.  Owning the physical EUA would
                                            incur no such impairment.  Consequently, owning a physical EUA will always outperform
                                            owning a long dated futures contract.

 ● No
                                            matter how long dated the contract is, eventually it must be rolled into another futures
                                            contract.  This will incur brokerage fees on a recurring basis that an ETF that owns
                                            the underlying physical will never have.

 ● The
                                            process of rolling out the expiration of a futures contract is a taxable event.  This
                                            will require a distribution to the ETF shareholders that could result in material tax obligations.
                                            The only transactions that a physical ETF will incur is when EUAs are sold to cover fund
                                            expenses

Registrant
notes that its disclosure regarding the more liquid and active Daily EUA Futures market was only in response to prior comment 3 to explain
why the Trust’s EUAs will be valued based off the settlement price of Daily EUA Futures instead of a calculation based off the
spot price, and that structuring the product around Daily EUA Futures is impossible and was never contemplated. Accordingly, Registrant
respectfully declines to add further explanation, since the alternative is impossible.

 3. Comment:
                                            Refer to your response to comment 18. On page 15, you disclose that “[i]f the Sponsor
                                            and the Trust are unable to raise sufficient funds so that the Trust’s expenses are
                                            reasonable in relation to its NAV, the Trust may be forced to terminate and investors may
                                            lose all or part of their investment.” Please revise here and in the prospectus summary
                                            to provide quantitative disclosure regarding what you believe are “sufficient funds”
                                            and what you believe are reasonable expenses in relation to the Trust's NAV.

Response:
Registrant respectfully advises that there’s no specific amount of “sufficient funds” that the Trust must raise in
order to continue operations. Revenue received from management of the Trust, including the ability of the revenue to cover fund expenses
that the Sponsor has assumed, will be one of many factors that the Sponsor will consider on an ongoing basis in connection with the decision
to continue the operation of the Trust. The Prospectus has been revised to include an example to illustrate the level of assets that
the Trust will have to raise in order to cover various levels of hypothetical operating expenses. In addition, the Trust’s expenses
will remain constant in relation to NAV, due to the unitary Sponsor’s Management Fee, so the statement about the Trust’s
expenses being “reasonable in relation to [the Trust’s] NAV” has been deleted.

                                            fragmented nature of data regarding the EU carbon market and the lack of centralized market
                                            monitoring of the EU carbon market. In addition, please disclose here the potential that
                                            a lack of centralized market monitoring of the EU carbon market may make it more difficult
                                            to identify potential market manipulation and abuse practices.

 5. Comment:
                                            Refer to your response to comment 21. Your revised disclosure explains that because the Covered
                                            Entities may require fewer EUAs as they reduce their emissions, the Covered Entities will
                                            be able to sell more EUAs in the secondary market, which will offset the reduction in the
                                            EUAs sold in auction. Please further expand your disclosure here to address the MSR’s
                                            role in the reduction of surplus EUAs and the potential impact of the control of the total
                                            number of allowances in circulation on the Authorized Participants and the Trust’s
                                            investors. In this regard, we note your disclosure on page 27 that “the EU use of the
                                            MSR and the linear reduction factor have great influence regarding the overall supply of
                                            EUAs available to the market.”

Response: The
Registration Statement has been revised to explain the MSR's role in the reduction of surplus EUAs. In addition, in any year, if the
total number of allowances in circulation is less than 400 million, 100 million allowances shall be released from the reserve and
added to the volume of allowances to be auctioned. The Registrant respectfully believes that, due to the high number of EUAs that
will remain in circulation at all times, the limited decrease in supply due to the annual linear reduction and the reduction of
surplus EUAs via the MSR will have no impact on liquidity or availability of EUAs. Therefore, this annual reduction of EUAs will
have no impact on the creation/redemption process or the bid/ask spreads of the Trust’s Shares.

                                            Please update your disclosure on page 23 to describe the reform to the MSR that was expected
                                            to be completed by the end of December 2022.

Response:
Registrant notes that the referenced MSR reforms were adopted and has updated the Registration Statement accordingly.

                                            and revise your disclosure to clarify what you intend to highlight by use of the chart. In
                                            addition, we note that you have included the same chart on page 36 and state that “[t]he
                                            chart below shows the mid-point of the bid/ask spread for EUAs traded on EEX and the Daily
                                            EUA Future throughout the trading days for the month of January 2023.” Please revise
                                            for clarity and consistency.

Response:
Registrant notes that the above referenced chart shows the spot prices in continuous trading on the EEX and the intra-day prices (mid-point
of the bid/ask spread) of Daily EUA Futures on ICE ENDEX. See ESMA, Final Report, Emission allowances and associated derivatives,
footnote 41 (March 28, 2022) (stating that “[i]n this section ‘spot’ refers to both spot contracts traded on EEX and
daily futures traded on ICE ENDEX”) (“ESMA Report”). Registrant has removed the chart on page 26 of the Registration
Statement and revised the disclosure on page 36 to state: “[t]he chart below shows the spot prices in continuous trading on the
EEX and the intra-day prices of Daily EUA Futures on ICE ENDEX, in EUR/tCO2 from January 2018 to January 2022.”

                                            Refer to your response to comment 3. Please revise here to include the table you included
                                            in your response letter that shows a comparison between the trading volumes of spot EUAs
                                            and daily EUA futures as well as the settlement prices. In addition, we note that it appears
                                            the settlement prices of the spot EUAs differ from the daily EUA futures. Please provide
                                            an analysis that shows the impact of using the daily EUA futures price as compared to the
                                            spot price to calculate NAV per share for basket creations and redemptions as well as the
                                            potential impact on the price per share in the secondary market. Please provide illustrative
                                            examples of how creations and redemptions will be conducted based on market prices in relation
                                            to various spot and futures prices.

Response:
Registrant has added the requested table. Registrant notes that, as discussed above, the settlement, functionality and economic outcome
for Daily EUA Futures on ICE ENDEX and spot purchases on the EEX are identical, as the Daily EUA Futures settle for the physical underlying
EUAs at the close of business on each day. The differences observed in the table provided are due to the differences in timing between
the last sale price in the EUA spot market and the settlement price for the Daily EUA Future. EUA spot trading is done on the EEX, which
has a much more limited membership than the ICE, on which the Daily EUA Future is traded. Therefore, the last sale price on the EUA spot
market is often several hours before the close of trading, while the settlement price always reflects the price of the EUA at the end
of the trading day.

A
more accurate measure of the extent to which the spot EUA price reflects the Daily EUA Future price is the graph shown on page 36. This
graph compares the intraday spot EUA price with the median bid-ask spread of the Daily EUA Future throughout the trading day, and it
shows an average absolute difference from January 2018 to January 2022 between spot prices on the EEX and Daily EUA Futures on the ICE
Endex of €0.015. See ESMA Report, par. 157 (“Comparing daily settlement prices from EEX and ICE Endex, where most of
the trading takes place… no major differences can be observed with an average absolute difference of 0.015 EUR – suggesting
the absence of clear arbitrage opportunities between the two main venues.”).

The EEX now publishes daily the end of day market price (which is different
from the last sale price) of spot EUAs on the EEX. This is a more relevant comparison of how closely the settlement price of the Daily
EUA Future tracks the

6.Please reconcile your disclosure on page 1 that the Shares are issued "principally" in
exchange for EUAs from Authorized Participants and that the Shares will be redeemed by
the Trust "principally" in exchange for the amount of EUAs corresponding to their
redemption value with your disclosure that "[t]he Trust will not hold any assets other than
EUAs or cash."
7.We note your disclosure on page 1 that "[t]he Trust issues and redeems Baskets on an
ongoing basis at net asset value ("NAV") to Authorized Participants who have entered
into a contract with the Sponsor and Transfer Agent."  Please revise to clarify here and
throughout, if true, that the Baskets are issued and redeemed at NAV per Share for 50,000

regarding the EU carbon market, the lack of centralized market monitoring of the EU
carbon market, and the impact this may have on an investors' ability to make an informed
investment decision regarding your Shares.
9.Please disclose here that the amount of EUAs represented by each Share will decrease
over the life of the Trust because of (i) the sale of EUAs necessary to pay the Sponsor’s
Management Fee and the Trust's expenses and (ii) the disregarding of fractions of an EUA
smaller than one EUA for purposes of computing the Basket Deposit.  Also disclose that
these reductions in the Trust's EUAs will cause the Share price to decrease causing
investment losses unless the price of EUAs increases, and include an analysis showing the
potential effect upon the net asset value per share of these EUA reductions.
