SUMMARY:Border Carbon Adjustment in the EU: EP draft position
DESCRIPTION:The European Green Deal has strengthened the level of climate ambition\, increasing the asymmetry of climate efforts by aiming to achieve climate neutrality in the European Union by 2050. This raises the question of how to deal with competitive pressure and carbon leakage\, also considering the COP26 outcomes and pushing Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) to the front as a possible unilateral solution. \nSince the beginning of the CBAM Project\, ERCST presented the Sectoral CBAM Report with a deep dive into the specificities of individual sectors as well as issues and options of the general CBAM Design. It was followed by the Proposal and discussed with multiple stakeholders in the EU and internationally. The reactions to the EU Proposal were presented in September together with the Brief for Policy Makers. \nNow the EU institutions are presenting their positions. European Parliament after the Own Initiative exercise is starting the discussion on the Report which will lead to formulation of the negotiating position and ultimately to the shape of the EU CBAM in the trilogues later in the year. \nERCST’s project on border carbon adjustment is supported by BDI\, CEFIC\, EBRD\,\nÉlectricité de France\, Enel\, Eurofer\, Eurometaux\, ExxonMobil\, Fertilizers Europe\, FuelsEurope\, Grupa Azoty\, HeidelbergCement\, the Government of France\, the Government of Germany\, the Government of Spain\, Metinvest and Solvay.\n\nWorkshop materials\nDraft Agenda\nERCST Presentation \nEurometaux Presentation

SUMMARY:Just Transition Governance and Financing  across EU Member States
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable development considers economic\, social\, and environmental matters holistically. Just Transition intends to counter the idea that valuing social aspects of sustainable development and caring for the environment are mutually exclusive goals. \nIn this context\, ERCST decided to further analyse the social implications of the environmental transition\, both at a global and an EU level. At EU level\, the climate ambition under the EGD (-55% in 2030 and climate neutrality in 2050) will have social impacts spread unevenly. The EU is thus trying to make this transition fair\, leaving no one behind. \nThis meeting will be an opportunity to take stock and unpack the governance of Just Transition initiatives across EU Member States by answering the following questions: \n\nWhat is the EU already doing on Just Transition? Taking stock of the measures in place: mechanisms\, funds\, fiscal reforms.\nWhat is the Just Transition governance and financing structure at Member State level?\nWho is in charge of the preparation of the national and territorial just transition plans (TJTP) and what is their state?\nWhat is working and what is not in the EU Just Transition governance?\n\nWorkshop Materials: \nAgenda \nERCST Presentation \nBankwatch Presentation \nSlovak Republic Presentation \nUniversity of Economics in Katowice (Poland) Presentation \nSpain Presentation \nResults of the slido poll \n \n

SUMMARY:Hydrogen: completing the regulatory puzzle
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on the lessons of a previous stock-take on the topic discussed in December 2021\, this meeting intended to identify main gaps in the current EU regulatory framework for hydrogen following the publication of the hydrogen and decarbonized gas market package and other relevant legislative acts\, such as the Delegated Act on Renewable Fuels of non-Biological Origin (RFNBO). \nThis meeting reflected upon the following questions: \n\nHas the Commission proposed a comprehensive regulatory framework that supports the creation of a hydrogen economy in the EU? If not\, what are the missing pieces?\nWhat are those elements of the regulation that despite being included may act as a bottle neck or slow the pace of deployment of a hydrogen economy?\nAre we making an excessive use of regulation vis a vis market-based instruments such as carbon pricing?\nIs there a comprehensive definition for low carbon hydrogen that supports investments in this technological landscape?\nDoes the delegated act on RFBOs act as a bottleneck for the deployment of a hydrogen economy?\n\nDraft Agenda    ERCST Slides     ERCST Publication
