Post-2020 reform of the EU Emissions Trading System
In July 2015, the European Commission proposed a reform of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) for the period 2021-30, following the guidance set by the October 2014 European Council. The proposed directive introduces a new limit on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the ETS sector to achieve the EU climate targets for 2030, new rules for addressing carbon leakage, and provisions for funding innovation and modernisation in the energy sector. It encourages Member States to compensate for indirect carbon costs. In combination with the Market Stability Reserve agreed in May 2015, the proposed reform sets out the EU ETS rules for the period up to 2030, giving greater certainty to industry and to investors. The Commission proposal has been transmitted to the Council and Parliament, as well as the advisory committees. Initial stakeholder reactions have focussed on the carbon leakage provisions and the arrangements for compensating indirect costs. A more recent edition of this document is available.
