The European Union (EU) has set ambitious targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to at least 60% in the building sector by 2030 compared to 2015, aiming at climate neutrality by 2050. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) together with the revised Energy Efficiency Directive, and the application of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to the building sector are key to achieving these targets.
This client alert looks at the relationship between the EPBD and the inclusion of the buildings sector in the ETS and explores how these policies interact to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
Find out how we can assist regulated entities in understanding and complying with the new regulations, including facilitating the purchase of allowances where necessary and how stakeholders in the construction sector can navigate available incentives to secure financial support for implementing energy efficiency improvements.
