"The EU ETS (European Union Emissions Trading System) price is currently around β¬70-75 per metric ton of CO2 equivalent, but is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. BloombergNEF forecasts suggest prices could more than double to β¬146/t by the end of the decade and potentially approach β¬200/t by 2035.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Current Price:
The price of EUAs (European Union Allowances) is currently fluctuating around β¬70-75 per metric ton, according to data from ICE.
Recent Trends:
Prices have seen some volatility, with a dip earlier in the year due to increased allowance supply and lower emissions. However, analysts anticipate a significant price increase in the coming years.
Future Projections:
BloombergNEF forecasts predict a rise to β¬146/t by 2030, potentially reaching β¬194/t by 2035, driven by factors like reduced allowance supply, stricter emissions targets, and the exhaustion of cheaper abatement options.
Factors Influencing Price:
The EU ETS price is determined by the market, influenced by factors such as the overall cap on emissions, the number of allowances available, and the demand from companies covered by the system.
Revenue Generation:
The EU ETS has generated substantial revenue since its inception, with billions of euros collected through the auctioning of allowances. This revenue is used to fund various climate and energy-related projects, including investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and low-carbon technologies.
ETS2:
A new carbon market (ETS2) is being implemented to cover buildings and road transport, with monitoring and reporting of emissions starting in 2025 and full operation in 2027".
Looks like a great time to be proving up one of the largest and lowest cost CCS projects in Europe π
