European Parliament Delays ETS 2 Implementation to 2028, Impacting Transport Costs

CLIMATE POLICY, REGULATION & CARBON MARKETS

The European Parliament has postponed the ETS 2 carbon market implementation to 2028, which is expected to increase transport costs and accelerate the decarbonization strategy for shippers. The ETS 2, covering emissions from buildings and road transport, will require fuel suppliers to purchase emission allowances.

This cost will be reflected in fuel prices for transporters. The European Commission plans to regulate CO₂ prices between 2028 and 2030, aiming for a cap at €45/MWh, potentially increasing diesel prices by 15 cents per liter.
