SUMMARY:Accounting and Product Standards in Rome
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]ERCST has started a new project that will have as its starting point the fact that we have reached a point in the drive towards a low-carbon economy\, where the power industry has undertaken great strides towards decarbonization and energy transition. Electrification is and will continue to play a very important part in the economic transition and is one of the many necessary conditions for the transition to succeed that have yet to achieve the level that is needed. \nThe next step is clearly a much more difficult nut to crack: industrial decarbonization. While incomplete in many cases and also imperfect\, with much work yet to be done to achieve a viable solution\, there is currently a framework in place that is creating the supply side of low-carbon products. Since we are in a market economy\, the second part also needs to fall into place\, that is\, the demand side. Hence\, the need to ensure the creation of the right framework will lead to demand for low-carbon products. \nThis ERCST initiative will therefore look at what needs to be put in place to create demand for low-carbon products\, and the starting point is that product standards need to be investigated as an option\, but not the only option. \nThe concept of product standards for industrial decarbonization – setting minimum carbon performance requirements for goods – has gained renewed attention in light of ongoing challenges in European and global climate policy. While the idea is not new\, having been proposed in various international forums (including sectoral agreements under the Kyoto Protocol)\, recent developments make it timely to revisit this approach. \nThe European Union (EU) is entering a period of significant legislative review and policy reform\, including: \n\nRevisions to the EU Climate Law to set the 2040 target and update the EU’s 2035 NDC\nFurther review and adjustment of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)\nIntegration of carbon dioxide removals in the EU ETS\nDevelopment of markets for low-carbon products under initiatives such as the Clean Industrial Deal and Steel and Metals Action Plan\n\nIn order to introduce product standards\, what is also needed is a deep examination of carbon accounting\, especially as it relates to the product level. \nThe main objective of the initiative will be to assess how carbon accounting and carbon intensity product standards could be introduced within the EU policy framework\, building on and interacting with existing instruments (e.g.\, EU ETS\, CBAM) and other relevant legislation. \nAs always\, ERCST will follow an iterative\, consultative process that will include: \n\nResearch Report: 20–30 pages with policy recommendations.\nStakeholder Engagements: 6 events – in Brussels and Member States. The first meeting is anticipated in Brussels on xxxx\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

For more information contact: msangiovanni@ercst.org\, hbevernage@ercst.org \nAs the EU CBAM moved from its transition phase into its definitive phase\, 2026 marks the first edition of the annual “State of the EU CBAM” Report. The Report aims to provide an independent contribution to the evolving policy debate\, supporting stakeholders in assessing whether the mechanism remains effective\, robust\, and fit to achieve its objectives. \nDesigned as a yearly snapshot of the CBAM’s development\, the Report will track key policy and market developments\, identify remaining gaps and potential loopholes\, establish indicators to assess the mechanism’s performance\, and explore a fundamental question: how should the success of the EU CBAM be measured? \nThis Expert Consultation will bring together a select group of stakeholders and experts to discuss the scope\, methodology\, and proposed key performance indicators for the first edition of the Report.

For more information contact: msangiovanni@ercst.org\, hbevernage@ercst.org \nFollowing the preceding Stakeholder Consultation\, ERCST will launch the first edition of the annual “State of the EU CBAM 2026” Report at a pivotal moment — the first year of the mechanism’s definitive phase. The Report provides an independent contribution to the evolving policy debate\, supporting the assessment of whether the EU CBAM remains effective and fit to achieve its objectives. \nDesigned as a yearly benchmark\, the Report provides policymakers and stakeholders with a structured overview of the CBAM’s development and performance.

At its core\, the Report addresses a fundamental question: how should the success of the EU CBAM be measured? \nDuring the Launch Event\, ERCST will present the findings of the first edition and open a discussion on the current state of the instrument\, its future direction\, and the key challenges that will shape its continued implementation. \nRegister here \nDraft Agenda[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
