Decarbonising the Future: ETS Navigation & Net Zero Solutions

We are on the cusp of a transformative shift in net zero ambition & ETS carbon market dynamics.

This presents challenges and opportunities for organisations across key sectors.

With insights from industries including aviation, data centres, shipping, construction, and manufacturing, the report highlights emerging strategies, investments, and the regulatory pressures driving the need for carbon reduction.

With impending regulatory changes in EU and UK Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) expected to raise the cost of carbon allowances significantly, companies must be prepared.

A failure to strategise could expose businesses to considerable financial risks, while a proactive approach could enable a smoother transition toward net zero targets.

The report’s findings provide a lens into how companies are navigating both the promise and challenge of carbon markets, with regional insights that reveal varying approaches to decarbonisation.

"Increased government ambition, tighter regulations, greater corporate sustainability commitments, and the outcome of the international COP process will demand serious net zero action from large-scale organisations over the next decade and beyond.

In the years leading up to 2050, when the EU, the UK and many others are looking to achieve net zero, new environmental regulations, growth in renewables and reform of flagship emissions trading schemes will have a greater impact on businesses than ever before.

And this change is significantly closer than many think.

For companies covered by the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and UK ETS, a paradigm shift is on the horizon."
