The Dec23 EUA contract broke above several resistance levels in recent sessions, hitting €97.55/t on 1 February, the highest since August 2022.
The rally since mid-January has definitely caught some participants unprepared, triggering short-covering

Remains off track with 1.5 target 🌍🔥
ETS 2030 target increased to 62% (from 61% EC), but mainly a trick with numbers since the cap trajectory is weakened due a split of rebasing (90m in 2024 + 27m in 2026)
LRF is 4.3% (2024-2027) and 4.4% (2028-2030)

Cumulative emissions over the whole period are only marginally better than the EC proposal: 12,295 Mt (EC: 12,309 Mt)
Still, compared to status quo the revised ETS will roughly save 1,486 Mt cumulative emissions compared to the baseline (2x 🇩🇪 annual emissions)

Earlier today, #EU agreed on a badly needed reform of the EU Emissions Trading System (#EUETS) which is the system of cap-and-trade of #carbonemissions allowances for #energyintensive industries and the #powergeneration sector. The most critical points are:
1. Agreement to make it compulsory for #EU members to dedicate all their auctioning revenues to #climateaction #investments
2. Sectors covered by the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (recently agreed #EU #carbon import tax) such as #cement, #aluminium, #fertilisers, #electricty production, #hydrogen, #iron and #steel, will see an end to free #allowances for these sectors between 2026 and 2034

Just a few charts to recap #EUETS price activity in the last couple of months. EUAs have traded between €75-€92 for the last five months. The price floor has been pretty solid at €75-79, while the ceiling has mostly been around €90. #OCTT 1/10
1/ If we really want to fight the climate change and decarbonise the world, we need globally unified carbon price.
#CBAM is a good start but it won't be enough. Namely, when it comes to GHG emissions, there are no country borders. GHG emissions are global. #EUETS #OCTT

2/ Very strict environmental rules in one country can lead to carbon leakage (especially in heavy industry) and reduction in own production. This is often compensated by increased production and imports from countries that don't take environmental objectives so seriously.
3/ Good example is aluminum. CO2 intensity per tonne of aluminum produced in China is twice as much as in EU.
Lowering EU aluminum production and consequently importing more of it from China will indeed lower EU emissions. But sadly, as a result, global emissions will rise.

produce a report in July 2023 assessing impact of restricting access to physical allowances. Frankly, this just shows a massive naivety: the vast majority of speculative elements happens in the options/derivatives market

A few thoughts on Commission proposal to auction MSR volumes:
1/ it’s approx. revenue neutral, or even negative
2/ it could therefore be a measure to control prices
2/ however, it’s not a done deal
3/ and, if approved, future discretionary uses should be limited

#OCTT #EUETS
1/ Would reduce revenues for existing auctions sufficiently to make it revenue neutral. If the true price impact is ~14/t (2x Wednesday’s price move, assuming 50% probability priced in), then at an estimated 1800-2000Mt of auctions over 2023-26 this is worth 25-28 bn EUR. #OCTT
Despite its YTD rally coal is still more profitable than gas in power generation for a lot of the curve. Carbon has dragged itself into positive territory for the year, but could break out later today when ENVI votes on #EUETS reforms. #OCTT

First things first. 3 proposed new revenue streams are:
- 25% ETS (1+2) revenues: ~12.5b/y
- 75% CBAM revenues: ~0.8b/y
- 15% residual profits from large, profitable multinational enterprises: ~2.5-4b/y

On #CBAM, this was obviously expected; still disappointing. Many (including @e3g) argue that revenues should flow back to vulnerable #LDCs through adaptation and mitigation finance.

Polska nie otrzymała w tym roku 105 mln. darmowych uprawnień do emisji. Uprawnienia do emisji co do zasady są sprzedawane na aukcjach i Polska otrzymała środki ze sprzedaży ok. 105 mln z nich. Dokładniej ok. 25,2 mld zł. 2/11
Dodatkowo, Polska otrzymała prawo do przyznania - zgodnie z art.10a Dyrektywy ETS darmowych uprawnień dla polskiego przemysłu narażonego na ucieczkę emisji. Łącznie ok. 60 mln uprawnień (jeśli posiada Pan dokładniejsze dane - proszę o informacje - chętnie skoryguję błąd). 3/11
🏭Coal-fired power plants are still being favored in German power merit order...despite €70/t #EUETS price
European Gas price is just too HIGH
This does exhibit some fundamental support for current carbon rally: high coal burn leads to high EUA demand

Coal-fired plants' advantage is clearly shown in its Short run marginal cost vs Gas.
even the 36% efficient coal plants are in the money, as surging gas prices driving up Gas SRMC

What’s driving the gas price surge? 1/
@PatAlvarezB chalks it up to these factors: Natural gas prices in Europe may remain elevated heading into the winter amid a tightening supply scenario and below-average storage levels, subdued LNG and pipeline imports.

#ONGT #Gas #LNG
2/ The run-up in CO2 prices are also a factor: As CO2 prices increase, electric generators are incentivized to operate cleaner burning #gas plants at the expense of coal, which helps to drive gas demand higher and consequently may provide structural support for higher gas prices.
3/ Will the run-up in #gas prices be transitory or enduring? What about #oil? Is the rise in #carbon prices structural?

Thread: Following today's #FitFor55 package, here's my initial analysis of the #EUETS revision proposal. Long story short: It becomes more difficult to pollute, but sustainable frontrunners are still disadvantaged compared to laggards.
#EUETS target: Increased to -61% by 2030 compared to 2005, which covers industry + power + intra EU aviation and maritime. This is taken from last year's 2030 #ClimateTargetPlan (see pic), which implies that the target for stationary installations (industry/power) is only -64%
Big plus: #EUETS Linear Reduction Factor almost doubled to 4.2% as of 2024 + one-off reduction ("rebasing") of 119 mln allowances. Leads to a big 15%-POINT cut in free allowances (FA). This LRF was a huge battle in the previous reform, so hope it stays.
Ahead of crucial #COP26 & amid intensifying climate crisis, the @EU_ Commission today presents the #FitFor55 package aiming at cutting EU emissions by 55% by 2030. Implementation will require far-reaching changes in mobility, housing, land use, industrial production. 1/11
The @EU_Commission sends the following signal to the international community: EU ups the ante to align the block on the 1.5° pathway, as pledged in the #ParisAgreement. #Fitfor55 will show whether the EU is ready to walk the climate talk while ensuring a just transition. 2/11
The walk will only be fully successful if environmental integrity and social and distributional justice go hand in hand. Agora welcomes the setting up of a social fund to ensure that its #Fitfor55 proposals lead to greater social solidarity. 3/11
President @VonDerLeyen unveiling #FitFor55 climate package now.
It is the largest single batch of legislation to stop climate change proposed by any government anywhere, designed to update EU laws to meet the new 2030 emissions reduction target of 55% (raised from 40%).
