SUMMARY:Review of decarbonization policies for heavy-duty transport: the ERCST analytical framework
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe EU Sustainable and Smart Mobility strategy formulates the objective of 90% of emission reduction in the transport sector by 2050. It assumes developing many policies and technological solutions along the principle of technological neutrality and phasing out of fossil fuels. None of those policies alone is a silver bullet. Only the deployment of many complementary solutions and creating the space for innovation gives the chance to meet the ambitious decarbonisation targets in line with the European political and legal commitment for the climate neutrality by 2050 stemming from the European Green Deal and the EU Climate Law. \nThe first report set the ERCST analytical framework and address the following question: what influences the determination of pathways for mobility decarbonization? \nIt  a) identified the desired outcomes that were used in defining the current pathways for mobility decarbonization\, b) outlined changes in the economic\, political and social environment and c) determined new desired outcomes that need to be considered under current circumstances. \n Agenda    Slides

SUMMARY:Border Carbon Adjustment in the EU - CBAM in a portfolio of instruments for industrial decarbonization
DESCRIPTION: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 industry in China. This session discussed proposed and potential flanking measures that the EU needs to put in place based on the following questions:  \n\nIs the objective of CBAM to: a) to address carbon leakage and competitiveness\, or b) be a more comprehensive approach to promote industrial decarbonization?\nWhat elements of the objective are covered by the ETS and CBAM\, and what are the gaps?\nTo what extent do the existing or planned flanking measures in the EU contribute to filing those gaps?\nHow does the combination of ETS and CBAM and flanking measures in the EU compare to other approaches\, such as the subsidies under the US IRA and the China Five-Year Plan\, in reaching industrial decarbonization while ensuring a prosperous and industrial EU?\n\nConsidering these policy questions\, this roundtable discussion brought together experts in the areas of economics\, law\, and policy to address the evolving context of trade and industrial decarbonization. \nAgenda     Slides \n

SUMMARY:EU Climate Policy & Electricity Market Design
DESCRIPTION: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 project (1st quarter of 2023)\, the ERCST team has developed a framework matrix (Annex 1) for analysing the elements of the EC proposal on electricity market reform through a climate change lens. \nFollowing on this preliminary work\, ERCST focused on discrete interaction’s cells of this matrix framework. During this event\, the attention was given to the short-term pricing elements (including marginal pricing and market interventions) and their interactions with relevant climate policies (ETS\, RED…) to understand whether/to which extent these provide short-term operational signals for decarbonization. \nThis meeting started by a presentation by ERCST which provided the discussion background. This was followed by preliminary remarks from the European Parliament. Then followed a panel discussion during which speakers shared their views and provide their opinions on the proposal. Interventions and debate from the audience will take place during the following Q&A session. \nAgenda    ERCST Slides

SUMMARY:I4C 2023: CCUS in the net-zero transition
DESCRIPTION: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. \nTo achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement\, countries must drastically reduce their emissions and achieve a net-zero economy by 2050. \nAlthough carbon removals have been designated a key technology to achieve the 2050 climate neutrality target\, the actual deployment is still far below the necessary levels indicated in various global scenarios for meeting this international goal. Also\, full deployment cannot be reached if the scale of this technology remains only at national and regional levels\, as storage capacity is not equally distributed across the globe. For these reasons\, international cooperation is necessary\, and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement can also be one of the tools for the international carbon market for removals. Also\, a strong political message from COP28 on this topic is critical to maintain the momentum. \nIn this event\, ERCST explored the role of carbon removals in different climate neutrality scenarios and how regulatory frameworks in different countries are giving value to this technology. \nAgenda    ERCST Slides     Publication 1    Publication 2 \n

SUMMARY:The EU Hydrogen Market: Fit for investments?
DESCRIPTION:This was an in-person meeting.  \nDuring the previous ERCST hydrogen roundtable discussion\, the different pieces of the EU H2 policy and regulatory framework were assessed\, focusing on its readiness and capacity to adapt to different ambition levels. The discussion was also intended to explore if the framework has been completed or whether there are still some bottlenecks  that should be addressed. \nAs concluded in the meeting\, most of the different pieces of the hydrogen regulatory framework have been proposed and find themselves in final stages of the legislative process. In this sense\, it could be argued that the proposed framework is comprehensive and that its architecture has been carefully designed making sure that most of the elements included in the European Hydrogen strategy will be part of this framework. \nBeyond its fine architecture\, during this discussion we wanted to question whether the proposed framework can be regarded not just as complete or comprehensive\, but also as an attractive and practical tool to attract investments. \nQuestions for discussion: \n\nIs the proposed regulatory framework practical and attractive enough to direct hydrogen investments to the EU?\nHave enough financial means been provided to make sure EU companies will lead the transition towards a decarbonized hydrogen market?\nAre the financial tools and instruments employed fit for purpose?\n\nAgenda    ERCST Slides
