EU proposes slowing emissions cuts for businesses through ETS reforms.
The European Commission unveiled proposals to slow the rate of carbon emissions cuts for businesses by relaxing the emissions trading system (ETS). The changes would extend free emission allowances for some industries to 2038 instead of ending them in 2034 and reduce the annual cap reduction rate starting in 2031. The proposals require approval from EU member states and lawmakers.
