In today’s world, climate change is a reality we have to contend with and among the various measures undertaken to combat it, carbon credits can prove to be an effective solution. Weaving a new framework in the climate space, carbon credits incentivize sustainable practices by assigning a financial value to reductions in GHG emissions.

In the Commission’s view, a mechanism on renewable and low carbon fuels would create an incentive to redirect fuels needed to decarbonize sectors with fewer alternatives—such as aviation and maritime—to road transport. This is mainly due to growing road transport demand, which is expected to keep rising in the future.
