The EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) is bound to play a major role for ratcheting up climate policies in both the EU and its member states. After a prolonged period of low prices that questioned the ETS’s viability, the recent price run upwards in the wake of a major reform has sparked confidence that from now on “everything goes in the right direction”. Increase in EU greenhouse gas emissions hampers progress towards 2030 targets Greenhouse gas emissions across the European Union rose slightly in 2017, mostly because of the transport sector. Preliminary estimates published today in the European Environment Agency’s (EEA) annual ‘trends and projections’ assessments show a 0.6% emissions increase in 2017 from 2016. decrease of EU ETS stationary emissions between 2015 and 2030 is considerably slower than the decrease of EU ETS emissions observed between 2005 and 2015. In contrast, the emissions from aviation activities covered by the EU ETS are expected to continually increase until 2030 (2 EU ETS post-2020: EuLA priorities. Directive 2018/410 concerning Phase IV (2021-2030) of the ETS was published in the EU Official Journal on 19 March 2018 and entered into force on 8 April 2018.

Feb 20, 2017 The 2030 proposal requires a deeper abatement in carbon dioxide (CO2) exposure to the market and to the risk of rising carbon prices.

Progress made in cutting emissions Policy The EU is on track to meet its emissions reduction target for 2020 and has put in place legislation to achieve its 2030 climate and energy targets. On this basis, Member States are making plans to achieve their 2030 targets. 2020 target The EU is on track to meet the 20% emissions reduction target for 2020. However, assuming that the share between ETS and non-ETS targets remains unchanged from the current 2030 set-up, the EU ETS reduction target would have to increase from currently 43% compared to 2005 levels to between 52% and 57% in order to match the latest announcements by Commission President-elect Ursula von der Leyen. Aligning the EU ETS with the Paris Agreement would require removing an additional 1.6 billion mt, forcing a much greater shift to clean energy, the report found. The MSR will have the equivalent effect of reducing the EU ETS cap on annual emissions by 2.65%/year from 2020 to 2030, from 1.8 billion to 1.2 billion mt.
