SUMMARY:Strategic challenges to the EU ETS in the long-term
DESCRIPTION:With the Phase 4 review\, concluded in early 2018\, the European institutions attempted to make the EU ETS fit for life up till 2030. While the implementing process is still fully ongoing\, the EU ETS has to continue to internalise new developments. These developments can be domestic\, most notably the recent call by European Commission President-elect Von der Leyen to increase the EU’s 2030 climate target and to explore the inclusion of new sectors in the EU ETS\, as well as the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 being supported by increasingly more Member States. These developments can also be international\, such as the ongoing efforts to finalise an agreement of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement\, or efforts by other countries to reduce their emissions\, including developing carbon pricing initiatives\, as well as the level of ambition of other countries.\nIn light of such developments\, it is useful to think about the EU ETS both in the 2030-timeframe\, as well as in the longer-term\, and explore how it could adapt and address issues that emerge. A first brainstorm session was organised by ERCST on September 27\, which had the intention to discuss\, and discover\, key issues\, if any\, that would need to be explored\, as well as possibly identify work that may need to be done in the medium to long-term to help the EU ETS remaining resilient\, relevant and acceptable.\nAfter that meeting\, ERCST produced a reflection note\, which in no way is intended as a summary or conclusions of this session\, but should be seen as general reflections from ERCST on the issues that were discussed\, and an exploration of their articulation with the EU ETS.\nThese issues include: \n\nReview and revision of the Market Stability Reserve responding to market developments;\nAddressing competitiveness concerns in the long-term by introducing carbon border adjustments and operationalising Article 30;\nExploring the role of using domestic offsets through operationalising Article 24a;\nExploring options for international links with the EU ETS;\nManaging policy fragmentation through effective governance;\nExplore mechanisms to incentivise the deployment of Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies.\n\nDuring this meeting\, we will continue to discuss these\, and other\, issues\, and identify any work that should be done. \n[rtec-registration-form] \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nFinal Agenda\nERCST Presentation\nLiv Rathe (NorskHydro) Presentation\nReflection Note \n\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:EU ETS outlook in Phase 4:  Assessment of policy options for EU climate policy & ‘Preparing for the MSR review’
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is jointly organised by ERCST and Sitra (Finnish Innovation Fund) and aims at analysing the outlook for the EU ETS in Phase 4. The meeting is supported by IETA and Carbon Market Watch. The intention is to promote a discussion among stakeholders on the future of the European carbon market\, trying to assess what potential reforms might be needed to strengthen the EU ETS framework.\nThe key questions we will try to answer are: \n\nis the EU ETS ‘fit for life’?\nwill it continue playing a key role in the EU decarbonisation strategy?\nwhat reforms might be needed for it to remain a ‘cornerstone’ of the EU climate action?\n\nTo provide more clarity on these issues\, the meeting will be divided in two parts\, where two publications by ERCST and Sitra will be presented: \n\nPaper presentation by Sitra ‘The role of the EU ETS in increasing EU climate ambition: Assessment of policy options’;\nERCST paper launch ‘Preparing the review of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR)’.\n\nThe first session will focus on some key policy options that might be taken during the EU ETS Phase 4\, in order to align the EU ETS framework with the Paris Agreement targets. The discussion will be based on Sitra’s publication ‘The role of the EU ETS in increasing EU climate ambition: Assessment of policy options’.\nThe second session will focus on the review of the MSR scheduled in 2021\, with the launch of ERCST paper ‘Preparing the review of the MSR’. This paper aims at providing an independent contribution to the policy debate\, and outlines what elements the MSR review should include\, how the review should be structured\, and what indicators and data should be monitored towards 2021.\n  \n[rtec-registration-form] \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\n\nSitra presentation\nERCST presentation\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:'Beyond 40%' - presentation of the draft Report
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.\nDuring this meeting\, ERCST will present its draft Report of the project ‘Beyond 40%’\, which aims 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. The Report builds on a brainstorming session held on September 19\, and will be 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 \nWorkshop Material(s)\n20191121 Beyond 40 paper launch\nRegistration Form\n[rtec-registration-form]\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:Regulatory and Financial Gaps Hindering CO2 Removal Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Following a short introduction by ERCST\, this session will focus on the regulatory and financial gaps surrounding Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies (CDRTs)\, and will be composed of two panels\, the first focusing on these gaps at the EU level and the second focusing on the international level (Paris Agreement). 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.\nDuring the last brainstorm session\, focus was placed on how the development and deployment of CDRTs have become vital in order to remain consistent with numerous 1\,5 °C pathways\, up to and after 2050. Energy efficiency and renewable energy sources will continue to be key aspects for limiting warming to 1\,5 °C\, and CDRTs cannot be expected to solve all manner of ills. However\, there is a definite need for employing all available options\, including CDRTs\, especially when factoring in the current lock-in of fossil fuels which far exceed the carbon budget for limiting warming to 1\,5 °C.\nAt the current state of play\, there are numerous challenges and barriers impeding the progress of these technologies\, resulting in a sharp contrast between the development projections needed in various scenarios\, and the current actual projections\, highlighted by the low technology readiness levels across the board for CDRTs. Therefore\, it is important to bring the discussion to focusing on the various impediments to these nascent technologies\, looking at the existing regulatory and financial gaps.\nThis meeting builds upon the outcomes of the brainstorm session organised on September 24 in Brussels\, as well as other activities. ERCST will organise more meetings on CDRTs in 2020.\n  \n[rtec-registration-form] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nERCST – presentation\nPanel 1\nBellona – K.
