Key points

The proposal seeks to enhance market predictability and price stability for the new emissions trading system in buildings and transport.
There is a strong emphasis on using revenues from carbon auctions to support social climate plans and protect low-income households.
The validity of unreleased allowances in the reserve would be extended until the end of 2033, with some parts lasting until 2035.
A new rule would mandate that half of the unreleased allowances become invalid from early 2034, with the remainder expiring in early 2036.
