Polish Glass Manufacturers Federation is seriously concerned by the proposed revision of the fuel fallback benchmark and some other benchmarks for 2026 - 2030. The proposed update would lead to a very sharp reduction in the fallback benchmarks, with a drop of around 34% between 2025 and 2026. For companies relying on the heat and fuel benchmarks, this could mean that carbon costs broadly double in only one year.

District heating and cooling (DHC) supplies around 13% of Europe's heat demand and serves more than 80 million EU citizens. As a flexible, locally anchored solution, it can rapidly integrate renewable energy, waste heat, and clean technologies. Over 44% of the heat in DHC systems is already decarbonised. Euroheat & Power fully supports the EU's climate objectives and a well-functioning ETS.

Euroheat & Power (EHP), representing the District Heating and Cooling sector (DHC) in Europe and beyond, is committed to pursuing the full decarbonisation of its European networks, in 2050, to contribute to the goals set out in the Paris Agreement (see our sector’s pledge). EHP also supports a higher ambition for 2030 to set the EU on track to carbon neutrality by 2050.

Polish Glass welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Commission proposal to review the EU -ETS. Modification of Carbon Leakage measures In order to achieve ambitious reductions, industry will have to invest massively in low-carbon technology. Unfortunately, the high carbon prices, and the lack of a level playing field with non-EU countries, makes this really challenging.

The 2003 Directive on Energy Taxation is obsolete and needs to be reviewed so that a) it provides an effective framework for Member States to reach their decarbonisation targets and b) facilitate a smooth functioning of the internal market.

Zwiazek Pracodawcow Polskie Szklo, the Polish Glass Manufacturers Federation, welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Commission proposal regarding Energy Taxation Directive (ETD). To reach carbon neutrality, glass manufacturing companies are investing massively in new technologies and R&D. This investment effort will take place in a context of high CO2 prices and energy prices.
