The Alliance of Energy-Intensive Industries (AEII) outlines its vision for a revised EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) post-2030, aiming to balance climate ambition with industrial competitiveness.
Key Takeaways:
- Protect competitiveness: Maintain robust carbon leakage protection to shield industries from direct and indirect carbon costs, ensuring viability in both domestic and export markets.
- Revise ETS trajectory: More time is needed to deploy low-carbon technologies and build supporting infrastructure.
- Enable investment conditions: Recognise that without accessible and affordable low-carbon energy and infrastructure, the ETS cannot drive meaningful industrial decarbonisation.
