JBCE Position Paper on the EU ETS Delegated Regulation on Permanent Emission Storage

On 15 July 2024, JBCE submitted a position paper on the EU ETS Delegated Regulation as regards the requirements for considering that greenhouse gases have become permanently chemically bound in a product.

In the paper, JBCE stresses the importance of:

• The inclusion of plastics used in construction in the Annex as products to permanently chemically bind greenhouse gases.
• The harmonisation with the CRCF on the categorisation and definition of permanent carbon storage in products and on the lifespan requirements.
• The recognition of recycling in the end-of-life treatment of CCU products to achieve the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
