This is an hydrid event. Participation online is allowed only for those outside of Brussels.
ERCST has launched a new initiative examining product standards as a tool to strengthen demand for low-carbon industrial goods. While Europe has made major progress in power-sector decarbonization and electrification, the next phase – industrial decarbonization – will require policies that not only address the supply side of the equation, but also ensure predictable, long-term demand. Against the backdrop of ongoing reviews of key European climate policies, including the EU ETS and CBAM, as well as efforts to foster markets for low-carbon goods under the Clean Industrial Deal, this project will assess how product carbon accounting and carbon-intensity standards could be introduced within the EU policy framework. It will combine analytical research with extensive stakeholder engagement across key European capitals. Findings will feed into a final report evaluating design options and outlining policy recommendations.
