Our ETS2 Guide
The European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has long been a cornerstone of Europe’s climate strategy. For years, heavy emitting industrial sectors have navigated its complexities, balancing production goals with compliance obligations. But as we look ahead to 2027, a significant shift is on the horizon, with the introduction of EU ETS2, marking a pivotal shift in Europe’s climate policy.
“This guide is designed to be your essential compass. It goes beyond the jargon to provide a clear, structured roadmap.”
The introduction of ETS2 is more than just a regulatory update; it is a fundamental expansion of the system. For the first time, it brings a direct price on carbon to sectors like heating, road transport, and smaller industrial operations. This isn’t just about an additional cost; it’s about a new layer of risk and strategic complexity that will impact your operations, from supply chains to financial planning. Understanding its mechanisms—from cap-and-trade theory to the specific rules governing ETS2—is no longer optional; it’s a prerequisite for managing costs and maintaining a competitive edge.
This guide is designed to be your essential compass. It goes beyond the jargon to provide a clear, structured roadmap. We’ll start with a straightforward overview of ETS2 in a nutshell before diving into the theoretical foundations that underpin the system. You’ll also find a deailed comparison with other major cap-and-trade programs, including the original EU ETS1, to help you put ETS2 in its proper context.
Navigating this transition requires foresight and a solid understanding of the rules. Our aim is to provide you with the knowledge needed to turn this challenge into a strategic opportunity for long-term growth.
