Policy Brief: Emissions trading system for road transport and buildings in the policy mix for achieving climate neutrality in the EU.

Study for the Air Pollution and Climate Secretariat (AirClim) and the Life ETX Consortium

This policy brief provides an overview of the proposals for the ETS-2 covering road transport and buildings. The amendments and guidance by the European Parliament and the Council are assessed and compared to the proposal by the European Commission. In addition, we provide recommendations for each assessed issue to enhance the effectiveness of the ETS while trying to minimise practical obstacles which would impede its introduction.
