The Challenge and Opportunity

Many countries are adopting Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) as their flagship climate strategy. From power generation, industrial and manufacturing to shipping and aviation, every business within high-emitting sectors in the UK and EU now faces a cap on carbon emissions.

Both the EU ETS and UK ETS are going through significant reform which will tighten the cap from now until 2030, reduce free allocations and remove surplus allowances. These changes are forecast to increase future allowance prices and require new abatement technologies to achieve future emissions reduction targets. With this in mind, ETS operators face a choice on whether to decarbonise over the next 5 years, budget for higher carbon prices or use the carbon market to lock in compliance costs now.

Shipping

In January 2024, the EU's ETS was extended to cover carbon emissions from all large ships entering EU ports, regardless of the flag they fly. Incentivising energy efficiency, low-carbon solutions and the uptake of alternative maritime fuels, this expansion will also require the shipping sector to implement new compliance strategies. We’re here to help you set a commercially sound course from the outset of your planning.
