DOMO Chemicals

EU Legislative Interests

As DOMO Chemicals — main EU legislative proposals / policies to target (priority list + why): Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) — affects imported feedstocks/commodities and levels the playing field for EU producers; critical for carbon cost pass-through and supply-chain reporting. EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) & ETS2 — impacts production carbon price exposure, allocation rules, and inclusion of new sectors (industrial process fuels/buildings). Net-Zero Industry Act / Green Industrial Plan — incentives, strategic capacity targets (electrolyzers, low-carbon tech), and faster permitting for clean investments. REACH revision & Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability — substance restrictions, registration burdens, substitution/innovation requirements that affect product portfolios and compliance costs. Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) & BAT conclusions — permitting, emission limit values, monitoring and compliance costs for chemical plants. Hydrogen strategy / Renewable & low-carbon hydrogen regulations — access to green hydrogen for process decarbonization and rules/incentives to scale supply. Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) & Energy Efficiency Directive — energy sourcing obligations, electrification drivers and efficiency targets that affect operational energy costs. Circular Economy Action Plan, Sustainable Product Initiative & Waste rules (incl. chemical recycling) — product design, recycled content targets, EoL obligations and feedstock circularity requirements. EU Taxonomy, Sustainable Finance rules & State Aid guidance — criteria for “sustainable” investments, access to green finance and public support for low-carbon CAPEX. Batteries Regulation & Critical Raw Materials Act — upstream feedstock security, recycling requirements and strategic sourcing (relevant for additives, catalysts, fillers). Energy market rules & electricity grid access / priority dispatch for electrolyzers — determines cost and reliability of electrified processes and hydrogen production. Product-specific laws and standards (fertilisers, plastics, packaging, detergents) — anticipate downstream restrictions or recycled-content mandates that will affect demand for certain intermediates. Suggested engagement actions (practical): monitor dossiers and vote calendars; submit company data to impact assessments (LCA/process emissions); push for realistic phase-in timelines and technical derogations; seek access to hydrogen/renewable electricity support and carbon contracts for difference; coordinate with sectoral trade associations for technical amendments.
