The European Parliament has approved an update to ETS benchmarks for heat and fuels for 2026-2030, aiming to increase free allowances for industries. The update, approved with 474 votes in favor, 82 against, and 28 abstentions, uses available allowances and adds 11 million allowances from non-compliant plants. The proposal includes sector-specific benchmarks and allocates unused allowances to the Modernisation and Innovation Funds.
Confindustria Ceramica and its president Augusto Ciarrocchi welcomed the vote, while Confindustria president Emanuele Orsini called for continued support in the upcoming trilogue negotiations.
