Subject: Meeting with Dow Vice President Global Government Affairs, 26-27 September
Dear Mr Samsom,
my name is
and I am Government Affairs Leader Europe for Climate and Energy in the
Brussels office of Dow Chemical. I am contacting you following most notably a meeting you had last
year with
, President Benelux, Nordic, United Kingdom, France, Spain & Portugal for
Dow and Chairman Board Dow Benelux, where he presented Dow’s decarbonization plans for our
flagship site in Terneuzen (NL).
Dow Vice President Global Government Affairs,
, is planning a trip to Europe and will
tentatively be in Brussels on 26-27 September. He would like to discuss with you Dow’s
decarbonization plans and the key role of the ETS and the upcoming CBAM.
Dow is supportive of frameworks that place a price on carbon and is
working on the establishment
of a voluntary carbon market in the US for industry (here voluntary refers solely to the initial choice
to participate). In this regard, as the European Union is preparing to set up a CBAM,
would like
in particular to raise the possible links with such an ETS in the US and whether this could lead to
exemption from CBAM.
will be accompanied by
, Executive Director of the Alliance
for Market Solutions, who will be the person starting up the US Emissions Trading Scheme Registry,
which is planned to be in existence as of 1 September.
If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward to your answer.
Thank you
Best regards
Government Affairs Leader Europe – Climate and Energy
