SUMMARY:Funding Mechanisms in Phase 4 of the EU ETS
DESCRIPTION: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 – the Solidarity Provision and Article 10c Derogation – were updated\, and new instruments – the Modernisation Fund and the Innovation Fund – have been introduced.\nThe delegated regulation for the innovation fund was adopted in February and eligible member states communicated their decision to (not) use Article 10c derogation by June 30 by publishing a competitive bidding process and a list of small projects. By September 30\, Member States also have to communicate their decision with regard to the use of the flexibility to move allowances between the various funds\, and the European Commission is expected to put forward its draft implementing act establishing the Modernisation Fund before the end of the year.\nThe European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition (ERCST)\, together with the Central European Energy Partners (CEEP)\, has been working this important topic for over a year. An event was organised last year in September in Brussels\, where a paper was presented discussing the questions and issues that will need to be clarified during the implementation phase.\nOver the course of 2019\, ERCST and CEEP have been working closely with Member States and stakeholders to deepen the understanding of the regional priorities for the use of the funding mechanisms. Four workshops were organised in Poland\, Bulgaria\, Romania and the Czech Republic; and surveys and interviews were carried out with Member States and stakeholders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring this meeting\, ERCST and CEEP will present some main takeaways from their work this year and the preliminary results of a stakeholder sentiment analysis. Next\, the European Commission will present the progress regarding the implementation of the funding mechanisms\, with a focus on the modernisation fund. This will be followed by a roundtable discussion by Member State and stakeholder representatives.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nPresentation ERCST & CEEP\nPresentation Roman Doubrava\nERCST & CEEP Report\n \nRelated Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Preparing the review of the Market Stability Reserve
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is part of an ongoing effort by ERCST to promote a discussion on the review of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR)\, scheduled in 2021. Building on earlier discussions with stakeholders held in February\, March and July 2019\, ERCST will present the main findings of its draft paper “Preparing the review of the Market Stability Reserve”.\nThe aim of the paper is to identify the goals and functions of the MSR\, and ways for the 2021 review to analyse the performance of the MSR via relevant indicators. This includes a discussion on the potential elements and structure of the MSR review\, which should help identifying the issues that need to be monitored towards the review. In identifying said issues and indicators\, the focus will be on both the track-record and expected impact of the MSR on the EU ETS market balance.\nThis meeting should serve as a final brainstorming before the planned release of the final ERCST paper on the MSR review\, foreseen in November 2019. \n[rtec-registration-form] \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nERCST presentation\nKenneth Bruninx – KU Leuven presentation\nOuti Haanperä – Sitra presentation\n Trotignon-Quemin – LSE/Dauphine University presentation\n \nRelated Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Brainstorm on 'Strategic challenges to the EU ETS in the long-term'
DESCRIPTION:With the Phase 4 review\, the European institutions attempted to make the EU ETS fit for life up till 2030. The work on implementing this review is coming to an end\, with most of the secondary legislation being adopted in 2019; this work will likely be finalised in the first half of 2020.\nHowever\, the EU ETS will continue to internalise new developments\, including actions by other countries. It is never too early to think about what new developments can reasonably be expected\, and how the EU ETS should respond to them.\nIn this brainstorm session\, ERCST will present its initial views on some of the issues the EU ETS will have to deal with in the longer term. The goal of the meeting is both to receive feedback on the presentation and hear the participants’ views on what they think are important challenges and elements to address in the longer term.\nSome of the longer-term issues ERCST would like to discuss with you include\, but are not limited to: \n\nIn the light of what we see as an impending increase of ambition in the EU climate commitment for 2050\, with inevitable implications for the 2030 EU ETS targets\, what needs to be done to make the EU ETS resilient\, relevant and acceptable?\nWhat are implications of carbon neutrality by 2050 for the EU ETS post-2030\, how relevant will the EU ETS be\, and what do we need to do for it to remain relevant?\nOperationalising Article 30 of the EU ETS and dealing with carbon leakage issues in the long term\nHow to react to international developments on carbon pricing\, including the prospects of linking\nHow to incentivise carbon dioxide removals and potential links with the EU ETS\nInclusion of new sectors in the EU ETS\n\n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nPresentation John Odell\nPresentation Michael Grubb\nPresentation Mariano Morazzo\nReflection Note \n\n \nRelated Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Brainstorm on 'Beyond 40%' project
DESCRIPTION:In the context of the Paris Agreement\, the European Union is increasing its efforts towards decarbonisation. Currently\, the EU climate strategy is centred around three emissions reduction targets compared to 1990 levels: a cut of 20% of GHG emissions by 2020\, at least 40% by 2030; and an implicit reduction of 80-95% by 2050. These targets have increasingly been put into question\, as many stakeholders are pushing the EU to speed up its decarbonisation efforts and embrace the goal of climate neutrality by 2050.\nThis meeting marks the start of the new ERCST project ‘Beyond 40%’. This project seeks to assess whether Member States and other stakeholders are undertaking efforts to go ‘beyond’ their respective 2030 targets\, and what is their perspective on the 2050 strategy and the potential target of carbon neutrality.\nThe ‘Beyond 40%’ project aims to: \n\nassess whether stakeholders are communicating meaningful commitments to go ‘Beyond 40%’\nmap these commitments by companies\, cities\, regions\, and Member States\, identifying best practices and no-regret policies\nquantify commitments to the extent possible\, and aggregate them\n\nThis meeting is an opportunity for ERCST to gather feedback on its methodology to achieve these goals\, and enable stakeholders to discuss the initial findings of the project.\nERCST will follow up this event with a report\, due to be launched on November 14th in Brussels\, and discussed across the EU in a limited number of capitals. The final report – which will include feedback from the roundtables across the EU – will be published in February 2020.\n  \n[rtec-registration-form] \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nDraft Agenda\nPresentation Mark Roelfsema \nPresentation ERCST\n\n \nRelated Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Brainstorm on mechanisms for 'Incentivising Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies'
DESCRIPTION:Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies (CDRTs) are expected to play an increasingly important role\, but up to and after 2050. At the international level the IPCC highlights how they could be necessary: the IPCC notes that CDR deployment over the 21st century is substantial in most pathways considered 1\,5°C-consistent.\nIn order to move ahead with CDRTs\, they need to be incentivized (not least financially) within an enabling framework. The focus of ERCST on this topic is therefore be on how to incentivise CDRTs\, both at the local level (EU) and cross-border (Article 6 of the Paris Agreement).\nBoth at the international and EU level there is a clear future reliance on CDRTs\, but there are still considerable issues with CDRTs. As yet many still remain unproven\, especially at the level they would need to be deployed to match the expectations. The environmental sustainability in the longer term is also not always guaranteed. Therefore\, this workstream will not promote specific CDRTs\, but rather focus on the enabling framework that is necessary to deploy these technologies at scale\, if they are proven to be sustainable.\nERCST started the session with a short presentation on current state of play on CDRTs\, how it is envisaged in key strategies and forward-looking scenarios\, and elements of potential mechanisms and frameworks to incentivise CDRTs effectively while ensuring their long term sustainability. This presentation was be followed by a round of initial remarks from selected stakeholders\, focusing on the following questions: \n\nWhich options are there for a framework to incentive CDRTs? For example\, within the EU\, the mechanisms for enabling CDRTs could be embedded in the EU ETS\, the Common Agricultural Policy\, and/or a common framework. What would work better?\nHow can emission reductions through CDRTs be made available for international trading under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement?\nHow would the point of emission be defined in both EU ETS and Article 6? Can CCS for enhanced oil recovery or coal plants with CCS be considered CDRTs?\nHow does CCU fit into this story\, especially considering the ECs reliance on synthetic fuels and materials in its long-term strategy scenarios.\nShould there be a role for energy in the CCS discussion\, or should it focus on currently non-abatable industrial emissions?\nHow could REDD+\, and experiences learned from it\, fit into this picture?\n\n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nPresentation by ERCST\nPresentation by A.

SUMMARY:Preparing the review of the Market Stability Reserve
DESCRIPTION:The MSR has started to operate in 2019\, and the first review is scheduled in 2021. In this review\, the track-record and impacts of the MSR will be analysed. Based on this analysis\, and a discussion on what the MSR is ought to achieve\, a decision will have to be made on whether or not to change the MSR parameters\, and if so\, how.\nERCST held a first roundtable on the review of the MSR on March 28th\, following earlier discussions held in February 2019 and October 2018. The meeting of March 28th focused on identifying the goals and functions of the MSR\, and ways for the 2021 review to analyse the performance of the MSR via relevant indicators.\nWe will continue these discussions on July 2nd\, building on some of the issues which emerged during the last roundtable. The meeting will take into account the outcomes of the European Commission’s publication of the new data on the total number of allowances in circulation (TNAC)\, due on May 15th.\nERCST is preparing a paper on the review of the MSR\, building upon discussions organised by ERCST and feedback from various stakeholders. The publication of the paper is foreseen in Q4 2019.\n \nThis event is by invitation only\n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nERCST presentation: Preparing the MSR review\nPresentation by Raphael Trotignon – Paris Dauphin University \n \nRelated Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Informal Dialogue on Response Measures
DESCRIPTION:By invitation only | Bonn\nThis meeting is part of the “Response Measures of the Paris Agreement under the UNFCCC process” project\, following the informal forum in Katowice\, held in adjacent to SB 50 in Bonn.\nIt aims to create an informal atmosphere\, where the participants can explore\, discover\, explain and understand different points of view related to the issues in Article 4.15 of the Paris Agreement\, looking at the impacts of implementation of response measures taken by Parties and how these mitigation policies/actions could have “in- and out-of-jurisdiction” or cross-border impacts. ERCST presented its current study on providing and testing a methodology which assesses and analyses the adverse\, and unintended impacts of existing and emerging\, climate mitigation measures and policies. The session ended with looking at the way forward for the ongoing SB 50 and the upcoming session at COP 25 in Santiago\, Chile. \n\nWorkshop Material\n Agenda\nReporting on Response Measures under BUR: Case Study on Chile\nPresentation by A.

SUMMARY:2019 State of the EU ETS Report - Launch
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is the launch event of the 2019 State of the EU ETS Report. During the meeting\, the authors will present the Report and their findings through a presentation\, after which the Report will be discussed in a roundtable setting. This will be the fourth annual report on the State of the EU ETS\, and builds on the report produced by this group of authors in the last two years. The 2018 Report can be accessed here.\nThe European Commission is required to annually assess\, according to the EU ETS Directive\, the functioning of the EU ETS and report back to the EU Parliament and Council. In December 2018\, the European Commission released its fourth “Report on the functioning of the European carbon market”\, covering 2017.\nWhile the European Commission has its role to play in providing an official report\, it is also important that independent review and assessment of the functioning and delivery of the EU ETS takes place.\nThe annual “State of the EU ETS” Report aims to provide such an independent contribution to the policy debate\, which is needed to ensure that the EU ETS is “fit for purpose”.\nThe report focuses on 5 key areas: \n\n\n\nRecent policy developments and implications\nEnvironmental delivery\nEconomic delivery\nMarket functioning\nIssues to monitor for the future\n\n\n\n \nWorkshop Material(s):\nAgenda\nPresentation of the 2019 State of the EU ETS Report \nDownloads:\n2019 State of the EU ETS Report\n \nRelated Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

The current guidelines expire on 31 December 2020\, and the new guidelines would ‘indicatively’ be ready by Q3 2020 – just a few months before the new ones actually enter into force.\nThe new state aid guidelines will need to balance a number of issues\, among which: \n\ncarbon leakage risk\nrisk of overcompensation and potential windfall profits\nrisk of internal market distortion\nhow to incentivise cost efficient decarbonisation\n\nERCST is preparing an issues and options paper on how indirect EU ETS costs could be dealt with by the new guidelines. This meeting is part of a series of meeting on state aid guidelines and indirect costs compensation\, which started with a discussion with stakeholders on January 31\, and will continue throughout the year with the next meetings planned on May 8 and September 19. The final paper will be released in the Autumn of 2019.\nDuring this meeting\, ERCST will present its views on the most important issues linked to the revision of the state aid guidelines\, and raise some issues and options for discussion. This will be followed by panel discussions on how indirect costs should be dealt with by the state aid guidelines.\nYou can register for this event via this link\n \nEvent Material(s)\nAgenda\nPresentation by ERCST – Revision of the State aid guidelines\nPresentation by BDI\nPresentation by Eurometaux\nPresentation by France\nPresentation by Heidelberg Cement\nPresentation by Hydro\nPresentation by Statkraft\n \nRelated Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Preparing the review of the Market Stability Reserve
DESCRIPTION:The MSR has started to operate this year and the first review is scheduled in 2021. In this review\, the track-record and impacts of the MSR will be analysed. Based on this analysis\, and a discussion on what the MSR is ought to achieve\, a decision will have to be made on whether or not to change the parameters\, and if so\, how.\nDuring this event\, ERCST will present an outline on how a review of the MSR could be carried out\, and which parameters are to be monitored. This will be followed by two panel discussions: one on the goals and functions of the MSR and one on indicators to monitor for the 2021 review.\nYou can register for this event via this link.\n \nEvent Material(s)\nAgenda\nPresentation by ERCST – Preparing the review of the MSR\nPresentation by Öko Institut\n  \nRelated Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00 \n

SUMMARY:State Aid Guidelines and the EU ETS: indirect costs
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Revision of the Guidelines on certain State aid measures in the context of the GHG allowance trading system post-2020’ is well underway\, and is set to be finalised by the Autumn of 2020. The guidelines are up for a total revision – meaning that all aspects and implementation of in are up for revision this year. This includes bringing the guidelines into line with the EU ETS Phase 4 Directive\, but also the more politically sensitive topic of indirect cost compensation. \nThe European Commission has indicated that the criteria for sectors to be eligible for indirect cost compensation could be changed – and therefore the list of sectors that can apply for compensation under national schemes. Also up for revision is the maximum amount of indirect cost compensation for eligible installations and the emission intensity of electricity production (the so-called regional CO2 factors) used to determine that amount. The revision could not only revisit current rules for indirect cost compensation\, but also add new ones if necessary\, for example the need for installations to invest in energy efficiency. \nERCST is setting up a brainstorming session to allow stakeholders to discuss their priorities for the revision of the state aid guidelines\, and to explore options and packages that mitigate carbon leakage risk while not leading to windfall profits. This is a first session in a longer-term effort that will continue in throughout 2019. \nFor more information\, please contact Domien Vangenechten at dvangenechten@ercst.org\n \nWorkshop material(s)\nERCST Call – Revisison state aid guidelines\n  \nRelated Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00
