The elevation in CO2 emissions was mainly due to the co-firing and co-gasification of biomass in power plants stimulated by government subsidies under the SDE++ scheme.

"The EU has reportedly replaced its 🇷🇺 supplies of woody biomass by importing wood pellets from the 🇺🇸 and E. Europe. But others say that trade data and paper trails indicate a violation of the EU ban, with laundered Russian wood pellets possibly flowing through 🇹🇷 🇰🇿 and 🇰🇬."

🇩🇰 : "Two of the country's most influential expert councils are calling on the government to remove the tax exemption for biomass. The fact that burning wood is favored over greener forms of energy delays a genuine green transition."

There's a great New Green Savings 'light' efficiency program in the Czech Republic! It targets senior citizens and low-income households with unbureaucratic and upfront investment support to get structural energy savings through relatively quick measures. 👇 https://twitter.com/Martin_Sedlak/status/1592107111701708800

Why are EU CO2 emissions down so much in January 2023?

Numbers for 15 January:

- Less other coal (-0.07 Mt/day vs 2022)
- Less gas for electricity (0.22 Mt/day vs 2022)
- Less other gas (e.g. heating) (0.61 Mt/day vs 2022)

Interestingly, the reference price of €45/tCO2 for the ETS2 will be in real and not in nominal terms. In other words the reference price will be higher than €45 to take into account inflation.

In the ETS agreement negotiators rhetorically agreed on a €45/tCO2 'price cap' for the ETS2 before the end of 2029. But in practice there is no explicit price control like in the current 🇩🇪 ETS (BEHG) and the price control works by adding additional allowances to the market.
