HomeA study of supporting measures promoting decarbonisation in the sectors covered by ETS2 :
Publication metadata
In 2027, the EU Emissions Trading System 2 (ETS2) will become fully operational. ETS2 is a new, separate EU ETS to cover sectors where progress on decarbonisation has historically been limited, namely road transport, buildings, and additional sectors (mainly industry not covered by ETS1). ETS2 is not an isolated policy but part of a broader policy mix of national and EU-wide measures designed to accelerate decarbonisation and support the EU’s climate targets: a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, and climate neutrality by 2050. In the sectors covered by ETS2, the EU has already enacted key complementary legislation, including the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), the CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles, the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). These initiatives share a common approach: the use of legally binding targets, mandatory performance requirements, and enhanced transparency and communication for end users. The Commission’s impact assessment showed, however, that reliance on strengthened regulatory policies alone would not be sufficient to achieve the targets and would lead to higher burdens on households and more significant investment challenges. ETS2 is therefore embedded in this policy mix to ensure the most cost-effective approach.
