Pre-selected industrial decarbonisation projects receive allowances valued at a fixed carbon premium per tonne of CO2 avoided, paid out periodically for up to 10 years once operations start and emissions avoidance is independently verified.
Pre-selected industrial decarbonisation project developers are offered support, and this is not law yet.
Why it matters
This is a Commission proposal: it is not law yet, and it can change before it is.
- It is Art. 1(17), inserting Art. 10cd of Directive 2003/87/EC, in the EU ETS revision. as of 2026-08-14
- The act gives its timing as: allocation until 2030; payouts over up to 10 years. as of 2026-08-14
- It names no industry: it applies across the economy rather than to one of them. as of 2026-08-14
- Compliance is checked by accredited third party, per support period (up to 10 years). as of 2026-08-14
