Positive direction in the European Commission’s review of the EU Emissions Trading System
With its review of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the European Commission is maintaining the course for shipping’s green transition. This should provide the necessary predictability for an industry that, from Denmark alone, already contributes around DKK 3.8 billion annually through the purchase of emissions allowances and more than EUR 9 billion across the EU as a whole.
