The document discusses issues with current emissions trading schemes and makes recommendations for improvements. It notes that existing schemes focus too much on data collection and management procedures rather than encouraging energy savings. This results in bureaucracy with little time or resources left over. It also questions if the emphasis should be on fossil fuel inputs like barrels of oil consumed rather than just carbon dioxide outputs, and if the ratio between total and direct emissions could be improved to provide more informative data while keeping the counting simple.

2. Emissions Trading Emphasis on: Data collection & conversion (EU uses Net CV) Management procedures Compliance & verification Result: Bureaucracy No time or resources for energy savings

3. What about the waste? Base-load £100 per hour £850,000 per year 9,000 T CO 2

6. Questions How can we keep counting simple & yet informative? Can we improve the total/direct ratio of 2? Should our emphasis be on Fossil Fuel inputs (e.g. Barrels of Oil) rather than CO 2 outputs?
