Q&A: The EU ETS: Driving decarbonisation, while keeping Europe competitive

The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is a key tool for driving Europe’s industrial decarbonisation while supporting the transition towards a climate-neutral economy. By putting a price on carbon, the ETS creates incentives for companies to invest in cleaner technologies and more efficient production processes. However, its success depends on ensuring a predictable, technology-neutral framework that supports industrial competitiveness and enables investment. Understanding the ETS is essential to recognising the role of Europe’s technology industries in delivering the solutions needed for the transition.
