EPPA will host a webinar on February 10, 2026, addressing the upcoming reforms to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which will significantly impact energy-intensive industries. Starting in 2026, shipping companies will be required to submit allowances for all CO₂ emissions, while the EU will reduce the availability of these allowances, affecting operational costs. Additionally, the FuelEU Maritime initiative mandates an 80% reduction in carbon intensity of fuels by 2050, necessitating compliance strategies for shipowners to maintain competitiveness.
