Carbon pricing to drive down emissions30 April 2021, Published under Cement NewsAs the USA effectively doubles its target for carbon emissions reduction by 2030 and more countries pledge to carbon neutrality by 2050, we take a look at how carbon pricing is expected to play a key role in driving down emissions. Last month the European Parliament adopted a resolution for a WTO-compatible Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which would introduce a carbon price on certain products imported from countries outside the EU with less robust carbon pricing schemes. The re... |
