Alignment of the EU ETS 1 with the new EU climate target for 2030 and reform of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR 1)

With the 'Fit for 55' package, the EU's energy and climate policy instruments were aligned with the new climate target for 2030 (to reduce emissions by 55 % compared to 1990). One main feature of the Fit for 55 package is the strengthening of the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). This fact

Putting the ETS 2 and Social Climate Fund to Work

In early 2023, landmark legislation was passed by the EU, establishing a new emissions trading system (ETS 2) for the buildings and road transport sectors. As the resulting rise in energy costs is expected to have uneven social impacts, the ETS 2 is paired with the Social Climate Fund, a mechanism t

Making the ETS 2 and Social Climate Fund Work

This report is intended as a steppingstone towards implementation. It provides a basis of knowledge for policymakers and experts across the climate and social policy fields tasked with making the Social Climate Fund work. We review the new legislation to gain an understanding of its scope, objective

Scope estimate update 2023: estimate of 2005-2020 emissions for stationary installations to reflect fourth trading period scope (2021-2030) of the EU ETS

The EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS) was launched in 2005. Since its inception, the scope of the system has expanded by including new countries, sectors and gases. An analysis of ETS emissions over time and across trading periods needs to account for those additional emissions. This paper present

Introduction of a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in the EU

The EU will introduce a carbon border adjustment mechanism (⁠CBAM⁠) on October 1, 2023. The main idea is to apply the same carbon price to imported emission-intensive goods as if they had been produced under EU carbon pricing rules (EU ETS). This is intended to prevent the relocation of domestic
