The eligibility to apply for admission to bid in the auction pursuant to the Auctioning Regulation
- Category: Auctions of CO2 allowances
Is there a risk that hypothetical power and fuel suppliers from one Member State will be entitled to bid directly in the auction and the same from another Member State won’t?
CCR (Carbon Capture Readiness) – the economic feasibility to retrofit for CO2 capture
- Category: CCS
Everyone knows that CCS is not economic yet. So, what’s the matter with the requirement contained in the Directive that the new combustion plants assessed economic feasibility to retrofit for CO2 capture?

This is a paradox as regards the framework created by the said Directive.
