Bioenergy Europe Supports EU-UK ETS Linkage Efforts

Brussels, 8 July 2025 – Bioenergy Europe has joined leading industry stakeholders in welcoming the outcomes of the recent EU-UK Summit and endorsing the move toward linking the European Union and United Kingdom Emissions Trading Systems (ETS).

As a signatory of a joint industry letter, Bioenergy Europe supports this crucial step to enhance market stability, reduce trade frictions, and strengthen climate cooperation. Linking the ETSs will help avoid disruptions from the upcoming Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (CBAMs), boost market efficiency, and unlock cost-effective decarbonisation across the EU and UK.

This coordinated approach is vital for securing clean, affordable energy and advancing Europe’s climate goals. Bioenergy Europe urges the European Commission to begin formal negotiations promptly and explore temporary CBAM exemptions during the process.
