EU to amend CBAM rules for power
EU to amend CBAM rules for power
London, 16 December (Argus) — The European Commission will amend the rules set out for the application of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) for power imports to the bloc, providing a pathway to declaring actual emissions values for electricity, according to leaked documents seen by Argus on Tuesday. The EU will amend the existing guidance to CBAM regulation based on stakeholder feedback that rules for electricity are overly rigid, and that the framework does not acknowledge progress made by non-EU electricity producers in decarbonising their generation mixes, limiting incentives for third-country producers to reduce emissions. The updates were based on a consultation with market participants held from 1 July-26 August. This regulation means that actual emissions associated with the production of electricity can be declared. Serbia recently announced plans to implement CO2 measurement, reporting and verification standards, ahead of the country's first emissions and carbon tax law. This appears to provide a pathway for output from renewable sources to be exempt from CBAM. Previously, electricity was treated separately from other physical commodities under the legislation, where carbon quantity would have been based on average country-wide emissions rather than on individual plant emissions. The document also addresses physical and indirect power purchase agreements (PPA), and clarifies that CBAM will only be applied to explicit capacity allocation, removing the previous language that required the absence of network congestion in order for CBAM exemption to apply for renewables output sold under a PPA. If actual emissions data are not available, an "average grid emission factor" for exporting countries will be used in order to reflect decarbonisation in the country of origin, which would include countries' current generation mix and be lower than the previous default emissions value, which used an average of IEA emissions over the past five years. Definition of market coupling The document also lays out a novel definition of market coupling, which could provide a pathway to CBAM exemption. The EU proposes that for the purpose of integration of a third country's electricity market with the EU a "memorandum of understanding between the Commission and the third countries that have fully transposed the relevant electricity market acquis" can be agreed, and that this memorandum would then set the "timeline for the application of the exemption foreseen". Market coupling would then be achieved through legislative means, rather than as defined by market coupling through EU power market regulatory body Acer, which requires an 18-month window for technical preparation once a coupling integration plan is approved. Serbia is the frontrunner for market coupling, and has previously said that it can couple with the EU by 2027 at the earliest, which would miss the 1 January 2026 deadline for CBAM exemption, as once its application has been approved it is still subject to the 18-month waiting period. This could indicate that countries with EU regulatory body the Energy Community could receive exemption from CBAM until 2030, as 2022's energy integration package provided a pathway for exemption from CBAM for four years, provided countries coupled with the EU power market.

EU eases ICE phase-out with 2035 CO2 car target: Update
EU eases ICE phase-out with 2035 CO2 car target: Update
Adds details on credits, transport commissioner comment in paragraphs 4-6 Brussels, 16 December (Argus) — The European Commission has proposed a new 90pc cut in car fleet emissions by 2035, replacing the previously agreed 100pc target that would have effectively phased out the sale of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles from that date The plan would allow some new ICE vehicles to remain on sale beyond 2035, alongside plug-in hybrids, range extenders and mild hybrids, as well as electric and hydrogen cars. The remaining 10pc of emissions would need to be offset through low-carbon steel, e-fuels or biofuels, according to the commission. The proposals need to be adopted by a majority in the European Parliament and among EU states. Automakers could also "bank and borrow" credits between 2030-32 to help meet the existing 2030 target of a 55pc cut from 2021 levels. Under the new proposals, manufacturers using these flexibilities would only need to achieve a 40pc fleet-average reduction, down from a previously planned 50pc. The commission indicated that credits for greenhouse gas (GHG) savings from e-fuels and biofuels can compensate up to 3pc of manufacturers' reference targets for 2035 and low-carbon steel credits can compensate for a further 7pc. Transport commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas said the credit system will boost uptake of sustainable fuels. "This is a clear signal than other technologies than battery electric vehicles (BEV) can be put on the market after 2035," said Tzitzikostas. Expanded carbon-neutral criteria would allow sustainable biofuels to help meet the targets that currently require 0g/km from 2035. EU renewable ethanol group ePure said emissions from ethanol were 79pc lower than fossil fuels in 2024, in line with previous years. The European Biodiesel Board reported savings of 77-81pc for biodiesel, using the official fossil fuel comparator of 94g of CO2e/MJ. German MEP Peter Liese criticised the original ICE ban, but said industry problems stem from market shifts, not from Brussels. "The industry must stop shifting the blame for its own mistakes and for market developments, for example in China, onto Brussels," he said, adding that he will push for green steel recognition before 2035.

Workers at Australia’s Pluto LNG set to strike
Workers at Australia’s Pluto LNG set to strike
Adelaide, 16 December (Argus) — Staff working for project contractor Bechtel building the 5mn t/yr second train at Australia's 4.9mn t/yr Pluto LNG terminal are set to strike from next month. The Offshore Alliance (OA) workers' union have provided notice to Bechtel and action starts at 6am local time on 5 January 2026, a union spokesman said on 16 December. Bechtel continues to engage constructively with its employees on the Pluto train 2 enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA), a spokeswoman said, adding that work onsite continues safely, and Bechtel remain focused on the successful completion of the project Hundreds of union members represented by the OA voted to authorise protected industrial action via ballots published by the Fair Work Commission on 4 December allowing an unlimited number of stoppages at the site from 30 minutes to 24 hours in length. But a new vote on the EBA is planned to take place on 20 December, which could see the industrial action cancelled. The present EBA covering Bechtel's workers expires on 19 December, Argus understands. Australian independent Woodside Energy is the operator of the Pluto project, which is planning to produce 8mn t/yr of LNG from its Scarborough gas field offshore Western Australia later next year. A Woodside spokesman told Argus the industrial dispute is a matter for Bechtel, its workforce and its unions. Train 2 is due to come on line in the second half of 2026, Woodside has said, while train 1 modifications will be completed by early 2027 ahead of that facility processing an eventual 3mn t/yr of Scarborough's drier gas .
