The conversations about Carbon Dioxide Removals these days seem to suggest everyone and all sectors are counting on negative emissions to compensate their own carbon pollution. I'm pretty sure the supply of CDR will not match the demand for it.

Debating #EUETS policymaking crunch time. Speakers agree it's all about the money now. Christmas looming on the background. Time to end the free pollution gifts go to large polluters!

#EUETS new Article 29b endorsed by @EP_Industry

A cure worse than the disease?

Anybody worried about speculation in the EU ETS should really have a deeper look at the role of free emission allowances.

Nice to see @MChahim draft CBAM report helpfully contains a list of stakeholders from whom he received input.

Of course @CarbonMrktWatch is on the list ;-) but also a lot more industry folks.

This is a good example of transparency and public accountability!

Happening now: youth activists from protest to increase the pressure on delegates and ministers not to create dual markets which allow the private sector to fool the public under the pretence of high climate ambition

This is no time to cave in to fossil fuel interests and allow companies to greenwash.

Voluntary carbon markets and offsets cannot be used as an excuse for real climate action.

"The polluter does not pay"

Solid investigative journalism in @knack on the inner workings of the #EUETS and free emission allowances. This is probably one of the largest market failures in EU environmental policymaking. Deserves more attention.

Schauvliege is plotseling vóór EU vliegtaks, terwijl België en quasi alle lidstaten iets meer dan 1 jaar geleden ervoor kozen om de ETS-heffing voor vluchten minstens tot 2021 op te schorten.
