What is the EU ETS 2 Price Forecast for 2030?
The EU ETS 2 expands carbon markets to include building construction, heating, and road transport, aiming to reduce emissions and fund sustainable projects. Unlike the original EU ETS, it eliminates free allowances, potentially driving up carbon prices and impacting households, with a social climate fund to mitigate the effect on lower-income households. This is a responsible investment in carbon neutrality, designed to boost sustainable finance and green investment.

How do gas markets influence the EUA prices trends and forecasts ?
This article explores how gas prices influence carbon allowance (EUA) prices in the European carbon market. Lower gas prices lead to fuel switching from coal to gas, reducing carbon emissions and EUA demand, thus impacting prices; recent EUA price decreases correlate with falling gas prices, though this influence may diminish as market fundamentals regain focus, potentially creating opportunities for investing in the stock market. The article forecasts a bullish outlook for EUAs due to tightening supply and demand dynamics, and suggests that investors should consider investing in the stock market related to carbon emissions.
