Event Overview
The upcoming webinar, H2 Talk: How the revised EU ETS bolsters the European industrial transition, is set to take place on September 30, 2026, from 16:30 to 18:00 CEST. This event, organized by Hydrogen Europe, will delve into the recent revisions of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) Directive, which were published by the European Commission in July 2026.
The revision has sparked significant discussions regarding the future of EU climate policy amid a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. The core architecture of the ETS remains largely intact, focusing instead on technical adjustments aimed at enhancing industrial competitiveness while accelerating decarbonization efforts.
Key topics of discussion will include the balance between climate ambition and industry viability, the allocation of free allowances, and the overall market sentiment surrounding carbon pricing. These factors are crucial in shaping investment conditions for low-carbon technologies and determining the success of Europe’s decarbonization initiatives.
The webinar will feature high-level speakers from EU institutions, Member States, and industry, providing valuable insights into the implications of the ETS review for the hydrogen sector and other hard-to-abate industries. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about the challenges and opportunities presented by this evolution of the EU ETS, and how it can support the transition to a competitive, climate-neutral economy.
