Heating Up Inequality? Socio-spatial impacts of ETS2 on European housing and cohesion

OeNB Freitagsseminar with with Thomas Schwab, Bertelsmann Stiftung

AbstractETS2 will introduce uniform EU-wide carbon pricing for heating, affecting about half of all households across the Union. Using a synthetic EU population of 188 million households, this study shows that  most can absorb the additional costs, but a significant minority faces high burdens - especially in Eastern and Southern Europe. ETS2 revenues can cushion these impacts but are insufficient to fund large-scale heating system replacements. Targeted support and complementary investment policies are essential for a fair and effective transition.
