To achieve this, a tightening of the CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions trading within the European Union is planned. <\/p>\n<p>In early June, a corresponding proposal was rejected in the EU Parliament due to the perceived insufficient effectiveness of the proposed measures. However, the Parliament has since agreed on a compromise proposal as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consilium.europa.eu\/de\/policies\/green-deal\/fit-for-55-the-eu-plan-for-a-green-transition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Fit for 55&#8221; climate package<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h5><strong>Measures for expanding emissions trading<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The proposal envisages a gradual phasing out of the free allocation of CO<sub>2<\/sub>-certificates to member states and subsequent allocation to companies. Starting in 2027, the number of free certificates will be reduced, and from 2032, their distribution will be completely discontinued.  <\/p>\n<p>Currently, 11,000 European companies are already required to compensate for the greenhouse gas emissions generated in their production processes by purchasing CO<sub>2<\/sub>-certificates. The plan is to extend this compensation obligation to the transport and buildings sectors. <\/p>\n<p>Further measures include a climate social fund that supports citizens in coping with increasing costs due to intensified climate protection measures. In addition, a carbon border tax at the EU&#8217;s external borders is planned<sub>.<\/sub> <\/p>\n<p>This is intended to prevent the mass import of cheap foreign products from carbon-intensive production.<\/p>\n<p>However, before the proposal can be implemented, it requires approval from individual EU member states. Negotiations are planned in the coming weeks in this regard. <\/p>\n<p><em>Interested in other exciting projects for reducing greenhouse gases?
