Emissions Trading / Carbon Market News (28/09/2020)

Dear Sir or Madam,

the chairman of the German CSU, Markus Söder, has called for an end to vehicles with internal combustion engines in Germany from 2035. With this, he joins the ranks of those in favor of a clear end date for vehicles with gasoline or diesel engines. However, these vehicles currently still account for 97.6% of vehicles in Germany and many of these combustion engines will probably continue to be driven even after a possible ban on new registrations in 2035, insofar as the CO2 pricing in this sector does not have a clear control effect would.

A lack of price-driving news last week led to a further weekly price drop of 6.5% in European emission rights. The EUA closed just above the € 26 mark, with the energy sector, with the exception of gas, also falling.

This week, 14.4 million EUA will be auctioned on four days in Leipzig. In the coming week there will be 21.6 million CO2 certificates, including 769,000 emission rights for aviation on Wednesday, October 7, 2020.
