As shown in our submission (Pdf attached), we believe that biomass energy and biofuels, including for aviation and shipping, must no longer be treated as zero carbon under EU-ETS rules. Furthermore, we set out why including so-called “permanent carbon removals” in ETS would create new offsetting opportunities for polluters, even though there is no technically and scientifically proven way to permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere at scale.
