Muva nje, i-European Union ifunda ukuthi ingabe kufanele ifake yini amakhredithi ekhabhoni emakethe yayo yekhabhoni, okuyisinyathelo esingavula kabusha ukusetshenziswa kwamakhredithi ayo ekhabhoni emakethe yekhabhoni ye-EU eminyakeni ezayo.
Ngaphambilini, i-European Union yavimbela ukusetshenziswa kwezikweletu zekhabhoni zamazwe ngamazwe emakethe yayo yokukhishwa kwegesi kusukela ngo-2020 ngenxa yokukhathazeka ngezikweletu zekhabhoni zamazwe ngamazwe ezishibhile ezinezindinganiso eziphansi zemvelo. Ngemva kokumiswa kwe-CDM, i-EU yathatha isimo esiqinile ngokusetshenziswa kwezikweletu zekhabhoni futhi yathi izikweletu zekhabhoni zamazwe ngamazwe azikwazi ukusetshenziselwa ukuhlangabezana nemigomo yokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi ye-EU ngo-2030.
NgoNovemba 2023, iKhomishini yaseYurophu yaphakamisa ukwamukelwa kohlaka lwesitifiketi sokususa ikhabhoni olukhiqizwa ngokuzithandela olukhiqizwa eYurophu, olwathola isivumelwano sezepolitiki sesikhashana esivela kuMkhandlu waseYurophu kanye nePhalamende ngemuva komhla zingama-20 kuFebhuwari, kanti umthethosivivinywa wokugcina wamukelwa ngevoti lokugcina ngomhlaka-12 kuMbasa 2024.
Sesihlaziye ngaphambilini ukuthi ngenxa yezici ezahlukene zezombusazwe noma imingcele yezikhungo zomhlaba wonke, ngaphandle kokucabanga ngokuqaphela noma ukubambisana nabakhiphi bezikweletu zekhabhoni abakhona kanye nezinhlangano zezitifiketi (i-Verra/GS/Puro, njll.), i-EU idinga ngokushesha ukudala ingxenye yemakethe yekhabhoni engekho, okungukuthi uhlaka lwendlela yokuqinisekisa izikweletu zekhabhoni eziqashelwa ngokusemthethweni yi-EU yonke. Uhlaka olusha luzokhiqiza ukususwa kwekhabhoni okuqashelwa ngokusemthethweni futhi luhlanganise i-CDRS kumathuluzi enqubomgomo. Ukuqashelwa kwe-EU kwezikweletu zokususwa kwekhabhoni kuzobeka isisekelo sokuthi umthetho olandelayo ufakwe ngqo ohlelweni lwemakethe yekhabhoni lwe-EU olukhona.
Ngenxa yalokho, engqungqutheleni ebihlelwe yi-International Emissions Trading Association eFlorence, e-Italy, ngoLwesithathu, uRuben Vermeeren, iphini lenhloko yesigaba semakethe yekhabhoni ye-EU yeKhomishini yaseYurophu, uthe: “Kuyahlolwa ukuthi amakhredithi ekhabhoni kufanele afakwe yini kulolu hlelo eminyakeni ezayo.”
Ngaphezu kwalokho, wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi iKhomishini yaseYurophu kumele inqume ngo-2026 ukuthi izophakamisa yini imithetho yokwengeza amakhredithi okususa ikhabhoni emakethe. Amakhredithi anjalo ekhabhoni amelela ukususwa kokukhishwa kwekhabhoni futhi angadalwa ngamaphrojekthi afana nokutshala amahlathi amasha amunca i-CO2 noma ukwakha ubuchwepheshe bokukhipha ikhabhoni emoyeni. Amakhredithi atholakalayo okunciphisa emakethe yekhabhoni ye-EU afaka phakathi ukwengeza ukususwa ezimakethe zekhabhoni ezikhona, noma ukusetha imakethe yekhredithi yokususa i-EU ehlukile.
Vele, ngaphezu kwezikweletu zekhabhoni eziqinisekisiwe ngaphakathi kwe-EU, isigaba sesithathu seMakethe yekhabhoni ye-EU sibeka eceleni ngokusemthethweni uhlaka olusebenzisekayo lwezikweletu zekhabhoni ezikhiqizwa ngaphansi kwe-Athikili 6 yeSivumelwano saseParis, futhi sikwenza kucace ukuthi ukuqashelwa kwendlela ye-Athikili 6 kuncike entuthukweni elandelayo.
UVermeeren uphethe ngokugcizelela ukuthi izinzuzo ezingaba khona zokwandisa inani lokususwa kwemakethe yekhabhoni e-EU zifaka phakathi ukuthi kuzohlinzeka izimboni ngendlela yokubhekana nokukhishwa kokugcina kwegesi ezingakwazi ukuyiqeda. Kodwa uxwayise ngokuthi ukukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwezikweletu zekhabhoni kungadikibalisa izinkampani ekunciphiseni ukukhishwa kwegesi nokuthi ukukhishwa kwegesi ngeke kuthathe indawo yezinyathelo zangempela zokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi.
