From January 2027, the new European emissions trading system ETS2 will come into force, applying also to household heating with gas and coal. This means one thing:

Fossil fuels will systematically become more expensive.

And the higher the emissions, the higher the cost.

What Is ETS2 and Who Will It Affect?

The new system targets:

• natural gas

• coal

• heating oils

Households will not purchase allowances directly. Energy suppliers will buy them and incorporate the cost into final tariffs.

Indicative calculations show:

• At €45 per ton of CO₂, gas prices could increase by approximately CZK 225–250 per MWh

• Coal heating costs could rise by up to 30% annually

And the current market price of allowances is already around €80–90.

What Could This Mean for an Average Household?

Model family house (approx. 9 MWh of gas per year):

• Annual cost increase of CZK 2,000–3,000

Coal heating:

• With consumption of 4 tons per year, the increase could reach up to CZK 8,000 annually

And this is just the beginning. After 2029, the number of allowances is expected to gradually decrease, creating further upward pressure on prices.

The Dirtier the Source, the Higher the Cost

Coal combustion produces the most CO₂.
That is why coal will be affected the most.

The trend is clear:

• Coal will be economically phased out

• Gas is no longer a true “transitional” solution

• Pressure for electrification will grow

The question is no longer if, but when.

Why LARX Carbon Heating Foils and Heating Mats Are the Future Solution

1️⃣ Electricity Already Includes Emission Costs

Electricity prices already incorporate emission allowances.
It will not face the additional shock that gas and coal will.

This means greater stability and predictability.

2️⃣ Carbon Heating Foils = 100% Conversion of Energy into Heat

Carbon heating foils and heating mats operate on the principle of radiant heat:

• Even temperature distribution

• No heat losses in pipe systems

• Fast response time

• Precise room-by-room control

Efficiency is nearly 100% – all electricity is converted into heat.

3️⃣ No Chimney, No Gas, No Servicing

Unlike gas boilers:

• No flue inspections

• No pressure vessels

• No pumps

• No combustion

Installation is simple and operation is virtually maintenance-free.

4️⃣ Modern Comfort and Clean Design

Underfloor heating provides:

• More space without radiators

• Pleasant radiant warmth

• Even temperature distribution

• Higher living comfort

Ideal for new builds and renovations alike.

Long-Term Economics

Yes, switching to a new heating system is an investment.
However, it is important to consider that:

• Emission allowances will become stricter over time

• Pressure on fossil fuels will continue to rise

• Service and inspection costs for gas systems will keep increasing

Electric radiant heating is a more stable long-term model.

Additionally:

• Can be combined with photovoltaic systems

• Smart energy management options

• Lower installation costs compared to heat pumps

Who Is the LARX Solution Ideal For?

• New family houses

• Renovated apartments

• Development projects

• Tiny houses

• Offices

• Low-energy buildings

Summary

From 2027, ETS2 will:

• Increase gas prices

• Significantly increase coal prices

• Support the transition to electricity

• Create long-term pressure on fossil fuels

LARX carbon heating foils and heating mats offer:

✔ Stable costs
✔ Emission-free operation
✔ Modern comfort
✔ Minimal maintenance
✔ Long lifespan

The future of heating is electric.
The only question is when you decide to stay one step ahead.
