Summary

Generated

The Commission proposes amending Directive 2003/87/EC to set revised benchmark values for heat and fuel under the EU ETS for 2026–2030, aligning with the 2030 climate target. This tightens free allocation for industrial installations, especially energy-intensive sectors. Adopted by the Commission on July 17, 2026, it now awaits Parliament and Council consideration.
