EMISSIONS: EU ETS2 Price Expect To Double by 2030 Amid Supply Deficit
EMISSIONS
The EU ETS2 price is forecasted to jump from €60/ton CO2e to €149/ton CO2e, between 2027 and 2030, more than doubling within three years amid a sharp reduction allowance supplies and strong demand due to the lack of economical decarbonization options, according to BNEF.
- The market is expected to have a supply deficit for most years until 2035, with the deficit hitting the highest level in 2029, at 248mn ton CO2e.
- During 2027-2030, if the ETS2 price exceeds €45 or rises too rapidly, additional allowances may be released from the ETS2 market MSR, according to the EU Commission.
- However, the inflow of extra supply from the MSR will not be enough to contain prices in the short term, BNEF forecasts.
- Allowances between EU ETS and ETS2 are not interchangeable.
- EU ETS2 will cover emissions from fuel combustion in buildings, road transport and additional sectors that are not covered by the existing EU ETS.
