The European Green Deal reinforced the European Union’s effort to reduce EU-wide emissions (compared to 1990 levels) and to achieve no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050. Such ambitions will require a revision and strengthening of existing EU and national climate policy instruments, which includes the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS).
As the European Commission considers extending the EU ETS scheme to the transport and building (heating) sectors, this CERRE Energy & Climate report assesses the potential impacts and feasibility of such a development. The reportraises an important red flag: while such an extension would help Europe achieve its climate goals, it could also have distributional effects. For example, the most vulnerable consumers could face (proportionally) higher costs for road transport and heating fuels, which would need to be addressed.
