Industry leaders like RWE’s Markus Krebber argue that maintaining Germany’s current earlier target creates unnecessary costs without additional climate benefits. The IGBCE union also supports adjusting the emissions trading system to align with the EU’s 2050 target, warning of rising costs and competitive disadvantages otherwise.

The IGBCE union leader and RWE executive argue that adjusting the timeline would reduce costs for the industrial sector and avoid unnecessary burdens. In contrast, Greens' representative Julia Verlinden emphasizes the importance of maintaining the 2045 target for planning certainty and economic competitiveness. She argues that a competitive economy cannot afford to become dependent on expensive fossil fuel imports. The debate centers around balancing environmental goals with economic viability, particularly within the framework of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS).
