European Emission Trading System (ETS)

The EU Green Deal, as announced in 2019, is a plan for net zero emissions by 2050. To ensure that this can be implement, structural adjustments are required. This is where the Fit for 55 package, as announced in 2021, comes in. It is a set of policy initiatives designed to help Europe achieve the goal of a net emission reduction of at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. The EU Emission Trading System is one of the regulations included in that plan, which is based on a “cap and trade” scheme. With this, a maximum cap is set on the total amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted by companies inside the EU area within a given year for certain industries. Companies subject to EU ETS must buy allowances based on the amount of greenhouse gases they emit and surrender these accordingly.

The EU ETS will be extended to maritime transport emissions as of January 2024 to help Europe achieve the goal of a net emission reduction. The system covers 100% of emissions that occur between two EU ports as well as 50% of emissions from voyages starting or ending outside of the EU with a phase-in period starting with 40% for verified emissions from 2024, 70% of emissions in 2025, and 100% as of 2026. As a consequence, a surcharge will be implemented as of January 2024 which is applicable for all shipments on board of vessels calling European ports. The costs for allowances change according to the auctioned value and is therefore adjusted in line with the performance of the index.
