Emissions trading
In Europe, 14 of our plants and sites are subject to European
emissions trading.
emissions trading.
Trading with CO2 emissions rights, known as certificates, is intended to reduce emissions of the environmentally harmful gas CO2 cost-effectively. Because all of our plants covered by emissions trading are state-of-the-art and compete at the international level, we expect to receive enough certificates from free allocation to cover the expected CO2 emissions by the end of the third trading period in 2030. At present, however, we cannot precisely estimate the effects of changes to the EU emissions trading system planned under the Green Deal.
