Identifizierung, Analyse und Darstellung der Produkte in den vom EU-ETS 1 erfassten Industriesektoren, ihrer wirtschaftlichen Bedeutung und ihrer Bedeutung für die CO2-Emissionen

Summary

Germany's Environment Agency has completed a comprehensive study to establish a robust data foundation for understanding CO2 emissions and their economic impact in industrial sectors covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS 1). This is crucial given the gradual phase-out of free allocations by 2034 and the introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in 2023. The approach involved analyzing material flows, energy consumption, emissions, and economic indicators for key sectors like steel, cement, aluminum, refineries, and basic chemicals, and then extending this analysis to final products such as passenger vehicles and plastic packaging to quantify CO2 cost shares along the value chain. This completed report provides essential data for future decarbonization and policy development.
