emissions trading

Air carriers using fuels such as hydrogen from renewable energy or other non-fossil fuels should receive a share of free emission allowances. Filip Křenek, analyst at EUROPEUM Institute, commented for Ekonomický deník.

Emissions trading is a key tool for the European Union in the fight against climate change. The recently proposed ETS2 brings major changes that extend the scope of this mechanism to new sectors such as transport and housing. The aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and encourage a shift to more sustainable ways of operating. Filip Křenek, analyst at EUROPEUM Institute, commented for ČRo Plus.

Environment Minister Petr Hladík is heading to Brussels to negotiate a postponement of the proposed ETS2 directive, which introduces a new emissions trading system. The government is seeking not only to postpone the directive but also to amend it to strengthen consumer protection. EUROPEUM Institute analyst Rebeka Hengalová commented for ČT24.
