As of 2027, the EU will start pricing CO2 emissions from buildings and road transport, with a new carbon pricing scheme, known as the Emissions Trading System 2 (ETS2). When the system was agreed in 2023, EU lawmakers promised that prices would remain below \u20ac45 per tonne of CO2, meaning a price surcharge of about 10 cents per litre diesel or petrol.<\/p>\n<p>Emissions from buildings, mostly caused by heating systems, and road transport, mostly caused by cars and lorries, are currently falling slower than the European Commission forecast. Meanwhile, additional laws to reduce emissions in those sectors \u2013 such as the EU buildings directive or a German law to ban new gas and oil boilers (heating law) \u2013 have been watered down substantially, or will only take full effect at a later stage, such as the de facto phase-out of internal combustion engines by 2035. These developments could lead to higher demand for emission allowances in 2027, and therefore to a higher carbon price.<\/p>\n<p>Other lawmakers share the concern that prices will exceed \u20ac45. \u201c\u20ac45 is not a hard limit in the current design, but rather a very soft brake,\u201d Tiemo W\u00f6lken, German MEP and coordinator on environmental policy for the centre-left S&amp;D group told Euractiv. \u201cCurrent studies [\u2026] assume that the price could rise towards \u20ac200 per tonne\u201d he said, pointing to research by German think-tank Agora Energiewende. To avoid \u201csocial imbalances\u201d, more money is needed in the EU\u2019s \u20ac87 billion social climate fund, which is meant to mitigate the new carbon price\u2019s impact on the poorest, W\u00f6lken said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/emissions-trading-scheme\/news\/new-eu-scheme-could-hike-petrol-gas-prices-higher-than-expected-key-lawmakers-admit\/\">Euractiv<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-522\/\">New EU scheme could hike petrol, gas prices higher than expected, key lawmakers admit<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[13818,703,575,274],"class_list":["post-130350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-carbon-price","tag-emissions","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130350\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
