EU, ETS 개편…친환경 투자 조건부 ‘무상할당’ 연장 검토유럽연합(EU)이 역내 기업들의 경쟁력 약화를 방지하기 위해 탄소배출권 거래제(ETS)의 배출권 무상할당 제도를 연장하는 방안을 검토 중인 것으로 나타났다. 단, 무상할당을 받는 대신 역내 탄소 배출량이 많은 산업계의 탈탄소화 전환 기술에 의무적으로 투자해야 한다는 ‘조건부 연장’ 방식이 유력하다.로이터통신이 입수한 EU집행위원회 내부 문서에 따르면, 집행위가 내달 15일 제안할 예정인 ETS 개편안 초안에 이 같은 내용이 포함됐다. ETS는 EU의 핵심 기후변화 대응 수

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to grant an extension of the "Serious" area attainment date for the Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin ("South Coast") nonattainment area for the 2012 annual fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or "standards") from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2030, based on a proposed determination that the State has satisfied the statutory criteria for this extension. The EPA will accept comments on this proposed rule during a 30-day public comment period.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to grant an extension of the applicable "Serious" area attainment date for the San Joaquin Valley nonattainment area for the 2012 annual fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or "standards") from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2030, based on a proposed determination that the State has satisfied the statutory criteria for this extension. The EPA will accept comments on this proposed rulemaking during a 30-day public comment period.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of New York for the purpose of fulfilling the requirement for a limited maintenance plan (LMP) for the 2006 fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ten counties which comprise the New York portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island (NY-NJ-CT) 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS maintenance area. This LMP was submitted on October 15, 2024 by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). The plan addresses the second ten-year maintenance period for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers, known as PM<INF>2.5</INF>. This action is being taken in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
In response to a court decision, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting our July 22, 2020 final action erroneously granting a Clean Air Act (CAA) section 188(e) attainment date extension for the 2006 24-hour fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or "standards") in the San Joaquin Valley from December 31, 2019, to December 31, 2024, and is now denying California's extension request. The EPA is also finalizing our determination that the San Joaquin Valley nonattainment area failed to attain the 2006 24-hour PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS by the December 31, 2019 unextended attainment date. This determination is based on monitored air quality data from 2017 through 2019. As a result of this final determination, the State of California will be required to submit a revision to the California state implementation plan (SIP) that, among other elements, provides for expeditious attainment of the 2006 24-hour PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS and for a five percent annual reduction in emissions of direct PM<INF>2.5</INF> or a PM<INF>2.5</INF> plan precursor pollutant.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Connecticut. This revision revises the Connecticut ambient air quality standard (AAQS) for ozone to be consistent with EPA's national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone and clarifies the volatile organic compound (VOC) calculation methods of adhesive and sealant products. The intended effect of this action is to approve these regulations into the Connecticut SIP. This action is being taken in accordance with the Clean Air Act.
