Consiliul Uniunii Europene si Parlamentul European au ajuns in aceasta saptamana la un acord provizoriu privind modificarea normelor referitoare la invalidarea certificatelor de emisii aflate in Rezerva pentru Stabilitatea Pietei (MSR), in cadrul Sistemului UE de Comercializare a Certificatelor de Emisii (EU ETS).
The Council and the European Parliament reached a provisional agreement this week to revise the rules governing the invalidation of emission allowances held in the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).
Dupa sentimentul optimist din saptamana precedenta, fondurile de investitii si-au mentinut pozitiile nete pe termen lung pe piata certificatelor de emisii de carbon la un nivel relativ stabil, potrivit celui mai recent raport Commitments of Traders (CoT), publicat miercuri de ICE, semnaland o perspectiva in mare parte neutra in randul investitorilor speculativi.
Following the previous week’s bullish sentiment, investment funds maintained broadly stable net long positions in carbon allowances, according to the latest Commitments of Traders (CoT) report released by ICE on Wednesday, signalling a broadly neutral outlook among speculative traders.
According to Carbon Market Watch, an NGO focused on climate policy and carbon markets, the revision of fallback benchmarks risks “entrenching the EU’s fossil dependency by reducing incentives to decarbonise.”
Potrivit Carbon Market Watch, o organizatie neguvernamentala specializata in politici climatice si piete ale carbonului, revizuirea valorilor de referinta pentru alocarea certificatelor gratuite risca sa „consolideze dependenta UE de combustibilii fosili prin reducerea stimulentelor pentru decarbonizare”.
In cadrul reformarii mai ample a EU ETS, UE urmareste, printr-un proces legislativ separat, si revizuirea valorile de referinta pentru caldura si combustibili, cunoscute sub denumirea de „indicatori de rezerva” („fallback benchmarks”). Aceste valori de referinta determina alocarea gratuita de certificate pentru activitatile industriale care nu sunt acoperite de un benchmark specific de produs.
As part of the broader EU ETS review, the EU is revising the heat and fuel benchmarks, known as “fallback benchmarks”, through a separate legislative process. These benchmarks determine free allocations for industrial activities not covered by a specific product benchmark.
