One of the crunch issues identified by ERCST is the inclusion of indirect (scope 2) emissions in the scope of the CBAM. The Commission proposal only includes direct emissions under the CBAM, but the Parliament is backing the inclusion of indirect emissions from the start. With the Council supporting the Commission proposal, but qualifying onsite electricity production by manufacturers as direct emissions, the trilogue negotiations will have to resolve these inconsistencies. At this event, the ERCST Team presented an analysis of the reasons which speak both for and against the inclusion of indirect emissions, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the different options if indirect emissions are to be included.
This session, convened by ERCST on the basis of its extensive work on the EU CBAM, brought together global thought leaders on CBAM/BCA, unpacking the vote in the ENVI committee of the European Parliament (from May 17th), circumvention, and the compatibility of CBAM with international trade and climate change agreements.
This webinar covers the 2022 State of the EU ETS Report, released on 26 April 2022. This year’s edition reflects on the track record of the ETS in Phase III and first year of Phase IV, ahead of the upcoming negotiation process and its expected impact on the EU ETS, and the role the ETS is expected to play in the longer term.
