SUMMARY:"Green Claims Directive proposal: current developments"
DESCRIPTION:Register in person   Register online \nThis is a hybrid public event.  “Important! Online participation is only allowed for attendees located outside Brussels” \nOn 23 March 2023\, the Commission submitted to the European Parliament and the Council\, a proposal for a directive on substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims (i.e.\, Green Claims Directive). Under this proposal\, companies and traders will be required to prove voluntary claims about environmental characteristics of their products or their organisations to be verified by a third party (the “verifier” an accredited body officially established by the Member State). The European Parliament adopted its position\, with further changes and several restrictions to climate-related claims\, in plenary on 12 March 2024. On 17 June 2024\, the Council adopted its position (‘general approach’) – which will form the basis for negotiations between the co-legislators in the new legislative cycle on the final shape of the Green Claims Directive. \nThis meeting aims to look and discuss the current developments of the proposed Green Claims Directive – particularly\, what to expect for climate-related claims – and how this legal framework compares and fits within the international context\, among developments in other non-EU jurisdictions. \nYouTube \nERCST Slides \nEU Commission Slides \nDraft Agenda

SUMMARY:Focus Group - Building a cross-border CO2 infrastructure beyond the EU: risks and opportunities
DESCRIPTION:This was an online event. \nThis event was by invitation only.\n \nSince the publication of the Sustainable Carbon Cycle Communication in 2021\, CCUS and CDRs have gained increasing attention from stakeholders and policymakers and led to the adoption of various policy proposals\, such as the Carbon Removal Certification Framework\, in 2024. \nAs a next step to further incentivize the development and deployment of these technologies in the EU\, the Commission published the Industrial Carbon Management strategy in the same year. It identified three main pathways to be developed – namely\, CCS\, CCU\, and CDRs – and highlighted how building an EU’s CO2 infrastructure is meant to become one of the priorities to focus on as it is considered a key enable of the pathways. \nHowever\, the EU may need to rely on other countries’ storage capacity to achieve its net zero emissions target by 2050 for various reasons\, including the uncertainty over the volume of storage capacity in the EU and because of differences between Northern and Southern Europe. For some Member States\, opting for storing their CO2 in third countries may be the only choice. \nIn this roundtable\, participants were invited to discuss the following questions: \n           – How important is it to build a CO2 infrastructure beyond EU borders? \n           – What are the opportunities? And what are the risks? \n           – What are the elements and criteria that need to be worked on? \nAgenda Slides

SUMMARY:Expert consultation: Including products further down the value chain in the EU CBAM
DESCRIPTION:This is an online event. \nBy invitation only. \nThe CBAM’s transitional period is now underway\, however several issues remain unresolved ahead of the definitive period and numerous delegated and implementing legislations\, along with reviews are due before the end of the transitional period. The ERCST’s third report of CBAM V will look at the topic of CBAM revenue use\, as this is of increasing importance to international stakeholders. \nAt this expert consultation the ERCST invited a small group of people to discuss the inclusion of additional products in the value chain in the CBAM related to the review under the CBAM due at the end of 2024. \nERCST invited covered sectors and other stakeholders to obtain current insights on the impact on downstream cost increases and the risk of value chain substitution for semi-manufactured and manufactured goods. The discussion also covered potential KPIs that can be used to determine if a product should be covered by the CBAM or not. \nAgenda

SUMMARY:Navigating Trade-Related Climate Measures
DESCRIPTION:This event is online only. \nRegister here \nGovernments are increasingly contemplating measures such as carbon border adjustments. Such policies can have diverse impact on different countries depending on a country’s specific circumstances and the nature of their exports. \nThe purpose of the Climate-Trade Nexus Assessment (CTNA) project is to explore how trade-based climate measures that aim to address international greenhouse gas (GHG) leakage resulting from domestic climate policy measures in key industries might be designed to account for the legitimate differences that characterize climate policy across various developing country trading partners.   \nFor this event\, we invite stakeholders from different countries to join us in a virtual workshop for the Climate-Trade Nexus project. ERCST has held workshops on the methodologies and their impacts together with our partners in Brazil\, India\, Mexico\, Turkey & South Africa and in this event we will share and discuss the takeaways from the workshop. \n Agenda

SUMMARY:The Future of Agriculture in the EU ETS - Public Event
DESCRIPTION:This was an in-person event.  \n* Registrations are closed. \nAgriculture is responsible for 13% of EU’s GHS[1]\, and the sector’s emissions have not decreased since 2010. Following the example of the recent extension of carbon pricing to road transport and buildings\, emission trading in agriculture could provide the right incentives to decarbonise this sector. \nThis public event explored with stakeholders and policy makers the role agriculture can play as part of net zero\, with a focus on its potential extension to carbon pricing. It addressed how feasible is pricing agricultural emissions and rewarding climate action in the land sector. \n[1] ECA (2021). Common Agricultural Policy and climate. Special Report. Pp.6.

SUMMARY:Stakeholder Roundtable: Future of the EU ETS - Carbon removals
DESCRIPTION:This was an online event. \nThis meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in attending\, please register through the link below.  \n*Registrations for this event are closed. \nThe EU ETS is seen as one the important drivers since it came into operation in 2005. However\, as we reach end of 2020’s and forward middle of 2030\, there are many issues that need to be discussed – fundamentally if the EU ETS is the right instrument as we reach towards zero allowances and what architecture and governance it should take. \nThis session discussed the role of negative emissions and carbon removal technologies in the existing EU ETS\, and\, if they were to be included\, under what constraints. This event is a follow-up to the ERCST’s roundtable taking place in January and is part of a process that ERCST is putting in place as an independent policy review of the EU ETS post 2030. \nAgenda      ERCST slides     Hydro slides     UBA slides

SUMMARY:The CRCF trilogues and the Industrial Carbon Management strategy: where are we headed?
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn 2023\, the policy framework related to CCUS and carbon removal technologies gained considerable momentum in the European Union thanks to the new legislative proposals developed by the European Commission\, such as the Certification Framework for Carbon Removals (CRCF) and the announcement of an ‘Industrial Carbon Management’ strategy\, alongside other pieces of legislation. \nIn 2024\, important developments in these two files are expected\, as the ordinary procedure related to the CRCF should come to an end before the next policy cycle\, and the Industrial Carbon Management strategy was published on February 6. \nThe roundtable discussed key developments on the two proposals and provided an opportunity to exchange views on how it addresses concerns from stakeholders and to better understand how the policy framework related to CCUS and carbon removal methods will develop.  \nAgenda     ERCST slides on CRCF trilogues     ERCST slides on ICMS    ERCST Publication

SUMMARY:Expert Consultation: ETS review of Carbon Leakage Risks for CBAM Export Goods
DESCRIPTION:This was an online event. \nThe CBAM’s transitional period is now underway\, however several issues remain unresolved ahead of the definitive period and numerous delegated and implementing legislations\, along with reviews are due before the end of the transitional period. The ERCST’s CBAM V will start off 2024 by revisiting the topic of exports\, this time focusing on the review that is a part of the EU ETS legislation. \nAt this expert consultation the ERCST invited a small group of people to discuss the carbon leakage risk for goods subject to CBAM and produced in the EU for export related to the review under the ETS of 2024. \nWe invited covered sectors and other stakeholders to obtain current insights on production and market trends\, potential export volumes at risk due to the current absence of a solution for export-related leakage risk and try to better understand the domestic and international implications of export-related leakage. \nAgenda

SUMMARY:Quo Vadis\, EU: 2040 Climate Target
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Law mandate the EU to set a 2040 climate target\, within six months of the first Global Stocktake\,  as a crucial step toward achieving climate neutrality. The Commission is expected to release a communication about the 2040 target on February 6. \nLast year\, during the Commission’s public consultation on the subject\, the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) published its report ‘Scientific advice for the determination of an EU-wide 2040 climate target and a greenhouse gas budget for 2030–2050’. The assessment urges the EU to adopt a 90-95% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions target by 2040 and recommends offsetting any surplus beyond the EU’s equitable share of global emissions by intensifying mitigation endeavors internationally. Additionally\, it highlights reducing energy consumption\, decarbonising the power sector\, expanding renewable energy sources\, and enhancing the electrification of industry and transportation as strategic\, no-regret choices for the transition. \nAfter the Commission tables its proposal\, a formal exchange is expected at the Environment Council on 25 March. EU heads of state will then have an opportunity to weigh in on the debate at a summit on 27-28 June as part of the EU’s Strategic Agenda for 2024-2029\, which will set the EU’s priorities for the new institutional cycle after the June EU elections. \nAgenda    Recording

SUMMARY:ERCST at COP28 - All Events
DESCRIPTION:Below is the list of side events that ERCST organised\, and participated in\, during the COP28 that was held in Dubai from 30 November 2023 to 12 December 2023. \n  \nTackling the Climate Challenge through Carbon Management Technology in Europe\nNovember 30\, 2023 – 15:30-16:30\, Dubai time (GMT+4) | Benelux Pavilion \nERCST participated in this side event organised by the Global CCS Institute during COP28. \nCCS is becoming more prominent EU-wide as 2030 climate targets approach and new targets for 2040 are developed to chart the next step in the path to the 2050 commitment to carbon neutrality. This session discussed the progress made in Europe as it relates to CCS deployment and highlighted the policy instruments that are driving CCS success in Europe. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Ms Elena Bonfiglio (ebonfiglio@ercst.org) or Ms Sachi Vohra (svohra@ercst.org). \nAgenda    Recording \n  \nCarbon Removal: What role for the Middle East?\nDecember 2\, 2023 | 08:30-09:30\, Dubai time (GMT+4) | IETA pavilion \nERCST spoke at this side event on carbon removals. \nDurable Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is essential to reach net zero. But what is the outlook and opportunity for DACCS and other durable CDR technologies in the UAE? Will the nation be an importer or can it become a hub for carbon management where removals help address both domestic net zero targets and export opportunities for the MENA region? What are some of the technology\, energy\, and geological considerations that will enable rapid scale-up in the region? This session brought together members of the public and private sectors working in the UAE to share perspectives on how durable CDR will be deployed\, verified\, and used within the region. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Ms Elena Bonfiglio (ebonfiglio@ercst.org) or Ms Sachi Vohra (svohra@ercst.org). \n  \nThe business case for CCS to meet decarbonization goals\nDecember 2\, 2023 – 16:30-17:30\, Dubai time (GMT+4) | Norwegian pavilion \nERCST participated in this side event co-organised by Equinor\, Aker Carbon Capture\, and DNV as part of the Norwegian pavilion during COP28. The session brought together Norwegian and International participants to promote Norwegian perspectives on CCUS. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Ms Sachi Vohra (svohra@ercst.org). \n  \nSOCAR Decarbonization Strategy and Future Prospects\nDecember 3\, 2023 – 10:00-11:00\, Dubai time (GMT+4) | | Azerbaijan pavilion \nERCST participated in this side event organised by SOCAR as part of COP28 Azerbaijan pavilion. This session aimed at presenting information about SOCAR’s achievements in the field of decarbonization and energy transition. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Ms Sachi Vohra (svohra@ercst.org) or Elena Bonfiglio (ebonfiglio@ercst.org). \n  \nTowards Operationalization of Article 6\nDecember 3\, 2023 – 13:15-14:45\, Dubai time (GMT+4) | SE Room 4 (125 pax)  \nERCST was the lead organiser in this side event that co-convened with the Climate Change Center (CCC)\, and the Swiss Business Council for Sustainable Development (OEBU). \nJoining market leaders\, experts\, and governments\, the session\, moderated by ERCST’s Executive Director Andrei Marcu\, discussed actionable “blueprints” on Article 6. Panelists shared initiatives and innovations in the works and discussed the role of removals under Article 6 towards global net-zero goals. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Ms Sachi Vohra (svohra@ercst.org) or Elena Bonfiglio (ebonfiglio@ercst.org). \nAgenda    Recording \n  \nHow Emerging Markets Can Prepare for the EU’s New Climate Regulations\nDecember 4\, 2023 – 10:30-11:30\, Dubai time (GMT+4) | BCG Pavilion \nERCST participated in this roundtable organised by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and that discussed the impact of the EU CBAM and deforestation regulations across industries and geographies and why and how Emerging-market companies and governments must act now. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Ms Sachi Vohra (svohra@ercst.org) or Elena Bonfiglio (ebonfiglio@ercst.org). \n  \nA Carbon Bank to manage the transition towards a low carbon economy\nDecember 4\, 2023 – 13:15-14:30\, Dubai time (GMT+4) | IETA Business Hub Pavilion \nThis event was organised by ERCST. \nThe acceptability of carbon pricing is crucial and compensation for high carbon prices is an issue. Current ETS architecture does not provide the right tools to manage negative emissions. This event helped understand the role of carbon authorities in managing potential supply constraints of carbon credits and their practical shape and implications. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Ms Sachi Vohra (svohra@ercst.org) or Elena Bonfiglio (ebonfiglio@ercst.org). \nAgenda    Recording    ERCST Slides \n  \nDecarbonization in the Transportation Sector\nDecember 5\, 2023  – 14.00-15:30 Dubai time (GMT+4) | IETA Business Hub Pavilion \nThis event was organised by ERCST. \nIn October\, ERCST launched a second report about the transport sector entitled ‘Review of decarbonisation policies for heavy-duty transport: recommendations for a successful transition’. The project intended to analyse the current pathways emerging from EU policy for decarbonisation of heavy-duty road transportation. \nAt this side event at COP28\, ERCST presented the findings of the above-mentioned report\, which assesses current legislative pathways to decarbonize heavy-duty transport and makes recommendations for new pathways complementary and/or alternative to the existing ones. \nPanelists discussed the decarbonization pathway for HDVs and the report’s recommendations. The results of these discussions will serve to pave the way to future developments on the ERCST mobility workstream. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Ms Sachi Vohra (svohra@ercst.org) or Elena Bonfiglio (ebonfiglio@ercst.org). \nAgenda    Recording \n  \nInternational Dimensions of the EU CBAM and Climate-Related Trade Measures\nDecember 11\, 2023  – 12:00-13:00 Dubai time (GMT+4) | The Trade House\, Thematic Arena 3 \nThis side event was co-organised by ERCST and the WTO. \nThe session provided insights into the emerging wave of climate-related trade measures\, including the EU CBAM\, building on the ERCST’s work in this area within different projects. It explored how climate-related trade measures that aim to address international greenhouse gas leakage resulting from domestic climate policy measures can be designed to account for differences in climate policy across various countries. The discussion addressed both how the EU CBAM can credit foreign carbon prices or climate efforts\, and alternative methodologies that we have come across for crediting various climate policies. \nThe discussions revolved around the theme of trade and emissions standards\, pricing\, and supply chains. By examining the implementation of climate-related trade measures such as EU CBAM’s and how these measures incorporate foreign carbon prices\, they looked at the relation between trade\, emission standards and pricing while also considering the different methods impact on global supply chains as countries adjust to the new regulations. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Ms Sachi Vohra (svohra@ercst.org) or Ms Sara Svensson (ssvensson@ercst.org). \nAgenda    Recording \n  \nDevelopment and Piloting of an ETS (Opportunities and challenges for new ETSs)\nDecember 11\, 2023 – 14:30-15:30\, Dubai time (GMT+4) | Türkiye Pavilion \nERCST participated in this side event organised by COP28 Türkiye Pavilion. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Ms Sachi Vohra (svohra@ercst.org). \n
