Event Overview

The Expert Consultation on the Integration of Carbon Removals into the EU ETS is set for October 29, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:30 AM. This online event, organized by the European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition (ERCST), will gather experts from various fields, including carbon markets, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies, and EU climate policy.

With the EU ETS Directive currently under formal review, the integration of CDR into the carbon market has become an urgent legislative issue. The event will explore the implications of the European Commission's July 2026 proposal, Peter Liese's European Parliament amendment, and the UK's approach to CDR integration. Key topics include eligibility criteria for technologies, ensuring cap integrity, and governance structures for large-scale CDR programs.

Participants will engage in discussions based on ERCST's forthcoming paper on CDR integration, aiming to clarify unresolved questions and foster collaboration among stakeholders. For more details, the draft agenda is available here.
