Reducing fossil emissions should be rewarded. Forerunners that use sustainable biofuels in their production should also be included in a revised EU ETS.

If the EU unilaterally imposes a cost on carbon, there is a risk that production will move to countries with less ambitious climate targets, so-called carbon leakage. To reduce that risk, industries are given free allocation of emission rights, which are based on product benchmarks.
