EU ETS: implementation of the funding mechanisms

September 12 @ 10:00 - 15:30

The revision for the fourth phase of EU Emissions Trading System (2021-2030) introduced a number of important changes concerning funding mechanisms in the system. Existing mechanisms – solidarity provision and 10c derogation – were updated, and new instruments – the Modernisation Fund and the Innovation Fund – have been added. Adoption of the ETS Directive was merely a first step; important questions remain to be answered in the implementation phase.
ERCST, in cooperation with Central European Energy Partners (CEEP), is preparing a paper that is intended to guide stakeholders through the complex infrastructure of funding mechanisms in the revised EU ETS. This meeting aims to discuss the findings of the paper and to provide a platform for actors from the industry, governments and NGOs to engage in a constructive dialogue about challenges and expectations for the implementation of funding mechanisms.

Organizers

Venue

The European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition (ERCST) is an independent think-tank, registered under belgium law, working on European and Global climate change policies.

ERCST is committed to the goals and principles of the Paris Agreement and works towards promoting a just, inclusive and sustainable global transition.

ERCST has always been careful to ensure an inclusive working environment and to be attentive to gender diversity and to the plurality of voices represented in its initiatives. When this is not reflected in one of our publications or events, it is due to the unavailability of the consulted experts to participate, to choices of organizations on their representation or specific representation in the respective organization.
