A variety of policies have been established to provide direct financial support to consumers and manufacturers; non-monetary incentives; subsidies for the deployment of charging infrastructure; and long term regulations with specific ...
EU countries view the emissions trading scheme as necessary for meeting climate goals. A strong carbon market guides investors and industry in their transition from fossil fuels. [5] A 2020 study found that the EU ETS successfully reduced CO 2 emissions even though the prices for carbon were set at low prices. [6]
Climate campaigners, who have long called for an end to jet fuel's EU tax holiday, said a 20-year delay would be at odds with the EU's target to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
