🌍 CDR can help us reach our climate goals while keeping Europe competitive and the EU ETS gives our industry that flexbility. 👀 More on why the ETS needs removals from the Negative Emissions Platform: https://lnkd.in/eAR6v2vp #ETSneedsremovals

we go again: wild CDR costs in an official EU proposal (the Commission's Impact Assessment for the ETS Only problem: this time it looks like the entire CDR integration into the ETS rests on these assumptions 👉 Want to stay informed with all the important ETS and CDR developments in Europe and beyond?

Yesterday, I posted about the >€50b compliance market for CDR that the planned integration into the ETS An updated number would likely be much lower, especially given how much the ETS is bound to change as finds ways to lower the cost of a CDR portfolio by integrating lower cost permanent removals into the ETS prioritises lowering the cost of BioCCS/DACCS pre-2031 through further investments (e.g. frontloading of ETS

- were explicitly highlighted by the EU Commission as a reason NOT to integrate BCR into the ETS, given or even charcoal. ✅ So here you have it: the real data behind all the CDR cost projections in the EU ETS

🐝 Lots of buzzing about this big drop next week by the EU. If you want to find out what you need to know ahead of time, what to look out for, we’ve got you covered with the latest CDR Policy Scoop Scoop Episode featuring Carbon Gap. Eve Tamme sat down with Francesca Battersby and Louis Uzor from Carbon Gap to unpack: 🔹What integration could actually look like: a public authority or a market led model 🔹 Whether CDR sits below or above the declining cap 🔹 How to close the price gap between DAC, BioCCS and EU allowances. Tune in to hear what Carbon Gap will be watching for when the proposal lands. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eGCEghZk ▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eVgWcdPF 👀 And stay tuned afterward the release for an upcoming episode we are recording with Mette Quinn, Deputy Director, Carbon Markets and Clean Mobility from the European Commission.

. 📈 It starts with an assessment of what could happen to ETS prices, especially if CCS and green hydrogen ’t work out, e.g. insufficient supply. 🏭 Finally, the paper also calls for using a bigger share of ETS date on why and especially how CDR can help guarantee the long-term stability and effectiveness of the ETS

Europe’s flagship climate policy - the EU ETS - has come under heavy attack lately. 📈 First, let’s start with the status quo: the cost of carbon in the ETS is going to increase - by design price will not soar. 🫰 According to Sultanti et al (2024), CDR could yield a 10-15% reduction in ETS Verbist et al (2025) also show up to 50% savings, depending on the integration design. 🪨 And this is cost savings of up to €37b/year by 2050 with a CDR portfolio cost of €150/t. 💲 So can CDR save the ETS

Bollete”, the Italian government would reimburse gas-fired power plants for the exact costs linked to ETS compliance. 📉 Without touching the ETS itself, Italy's move, if approved or replicated, could become Minister for Enterprises Adolfo Urso said he will formally ask the European Commission to pause the ETS domestically. 🇩🇪 Clearly, countries in Europe are stepping up their pressure ahead of the planned ETS If current populist demands get their way, say goodbye to CDR in the ETS. ✊ Is all hope lost?

Last week, I shed some light on the pretty shaky assumptions behind the BioCCS cost forecast in the EU ETS Today, let’s shift focus to the other CDR method eligible for integration into the ETS: DACCS. 💶 Unlike

Commission is considering integrating only a small subset into the EU Emission Trading System (hashtag#ETS

. 😮 The EU ETS is - by far - the largest compliance market for carbon in the world and accounts already Integration of CDR into the ETS would be a game changer for the industry. and let the CRCF be the gatekeeper for what permanent removals are deemed high quality enough for the ETS There is so much other incredibly important stuff in there such as aviation: should the EU extend the ETS : Stakeholder interviews, surveys, and data collection 🔹 July 2026: Deadline for review clauses on ETS1

💚 The European Emission Trading System (EU ETS) might well be the most effective decarbonisation policy But the whole premise of the ETS is that the cost of emitting a ton of CO2 will keep increasing, as free 📉 Now that very foundation of the ETS is being questioned, sending shock waves through the market as can be seen by the freefall of EU ETS Emission Allowance (EUAs) prices by 25% in just a month - from this would be: China is investing heavily and aggressively into its own ETS (already covering 15% of
