Revision of the benchmark values for free allocation of emission allowances (2026-2030)filed 18 May 2026source

In the WVMetalle’s view, the considerable tightening of the fallback benchmarks provided for in the draft leads to a massive increase in the risk of carbon leakage. The envisaged reduction of up to 50 % would de facto lead to a drastic reduction in the free allocation of emission allowances and would threaten the very existence of a number of companies in the non-ferrous metals industry.
