The report puts forward several recommendations for consideration, notably that all CO2 emissions, both from fossil and non-fossil (biogenic) sources, should be counted and require allowances under the EU ETS. The study also recommends that both power and heat from incineration should be fully included in the EU ETS, without free allowances allocated to heat generation.<\/p>\n<p>The report discusses the potential implications of how biogenic CO2 emissions are treated in the EU ETS, highlighting that zero-rating CO2 emissions from wastes of non-fossil origin (biogenic materials) could create incentives that undermine waste prevention and recycling efforts for these materials, by effectively making these materials, such as paper, wood, food waste, and natural textiles, a lower cost feedstock. The study also suggests that the current 20 MW threshold for inclusion in the EU ETS could potentially be lowered to 10 MW or aligned with the Industrial Emissions Directive, to avoid the development of smaller facilities to game the system.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/zwe-propose-full-inclusion-waste-incineration-emissions-eu-emissions-trading-scheme\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-547\/\">ZWE propose full inclusion of waste incineration emissions in EU emissions trading scheme<\/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":[575,767,8943],"class_list":["post-131948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-waste-incineration","tag-zwe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131948\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
