The objective of the project is to analyse the current pathways emerging from EU policy for decarbonisation of heavy-duty road transportation including links to the other transportation modes and propose, if necessary and appropriate, complementary and/or alternative policy pathways. They will be underpinned by the EU objective of climate neutrality stemming from the EU Climate […]
To achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement of pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, countries must severely reduce their emissions and reach a […]
In December 2022, the European institutions reached a provisional agreement in the CBAM trilogues. The transitional phase of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism started in October 2023, with actual implementation starting […]

The objective of the ERCST project is to analyze the current pathways emerging from EU policy for decarbonisation of heavy-duty road transportation and propose, if necessary and appropriate, complementary and/or alternative policy pathways. They will be underpinned by the EU objective of climate neutrality stemming from the EU Climate Law. The EU Sustainable and Smart […]
The EU ETS and CBAM are key drivers to achieve industrial decarbonization and secure a prosperous and industrial EU, but they must be accompanied by flanking measures to be effective in a context where they must face other decarbonisation approaches such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the US and significant subsidies for green […]
The ERCST workstream on “EU Climate Policy and Electricity Market” provides analytical input on the interactions between EU climate policy and electricity market. Within the scope of the first part of this […]
This event was selected as a workshop within Innovative4Climate (I4C) 2023, the World Bank Group's annual global conference on climate finance, carbon markets and investment. The full programme is available here. To achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement, countries must drastically reduce their emissions and achieve a net-zero economy by 2050. Although carbon removals […]
