The eighth edition of the State of the EU ETS Report has just been published. This annual report is a joint effort between the European Roundtable on Climate and Sustainable Transition (ERCST), BloombergNEF, the Wegener Center for climate and global change at the University of Graz and EcoAct. It aims to provide an independent contribution to the policy debate on the role and effectiveness of the EU carbon market.
The report comes at a key moment for the EU ETS, as the main elements of its reform have just been adopted by European institutions. In particular, the mechanism’s emission reduction target has been raised (-62% by 2030 compared to 2005) and will now cover shipping emissions from the maritime sector. A separate new ETS will be created to cover emissions from fuels used in commercial buildings and road transport, and a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will be introduced on several pilot products.
