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: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\nLaunch 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\nLaunch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Stakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:002026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00

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\nLaunch 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\nLaunch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Stakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:002026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00
