Factsheets: The reform of the EU Emissions Trading System – a closer look

Blog 05/17/2022

In July 2021, the European Commission presented a series of legislative proposals as part of the Fit for 55 package to align energy and climate policy instruments with the new climate target of reducing emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Researchers at the Oeko-Institut have taken a closer look at the proposals for the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and have produced four factsheets with summaries and comments.

The Madrid climate talks failed to deliver. What now?

Blog 12/17/2019

Tangible results are hard to find. Countries failed to agree on a clear roadmap for enhancing the ambition of climate targets in 2020 and delayed several important decisions, in particular rules for international carbon market mechanisms. In this blog, the Oeko-Institut team provides a viewpoint from inside the negotiations.

Double counting in international emissions trading

Blog 10/11/2019

At the next climate conference in Chile in December 2019, one issue will be particularly contentious: the rules for international trade in emission reductions. A central question will be whether and how “double counting” – two countries using the same emission reduction to achieve their climate targets – can be prevented. Lambert Schneider, Research Coordinator for International Climate Policy at Oeko-Institut, has summarised the international discussion on double counting with nine other authors in the Science journal.

Erosion of European sustainability requirements for bioenergy

[Translate to English:] Extending the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED) on solid and gaseous biomass is being used to roll back sustainability requirements. This is the wrong path, say Dr. Klaus Hennenberg and colleagues, in their recent article in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
