Second, the currently failing strategy of negotiating
incremental emission caps should be replaced with a strategy for reinventing the energy system without emissions as fast as possible.
Indeed, we estimate that the extra tightening of the EU - ETS
cap required to align with a Paris - compliant EU - wide trajectory for 2030 and beyond would require
incremental emissions reductions of 1.6 Gt over 2021 - 30 versus our base - case scenario under the current
cap.
