Mary Veronica Tovsak Pleterski's power-point presentationtankesmedjanfores
The document summarizes key aspects of the future of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) in Phase 3 from 2013-2020 and beyond. It outlines that the ETS will have a predictable, linear cap on emissions that declines each year. It will also expand to cover more industrial sectors and greenhouse gases. Auctioning will be the default method to allocate allowances, and free allocation will phase out for most industrial sectors by 2027. A common auction platform and oversight measures will help ensure integrity and prevent market abuse. International credits will be restricted to increase incentives for more ambitious domestic emissions reductions. The long term vision is for the ETS and other carbon markets to incentivize more countries and sectors to adopt cap and trade
Yvon Slingenberg, Head of Unit B1- Implementation of ETS, DG CLIMA, European ...European Journalism Centre
The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is the largest multi-country greenhouse gas emissions trading system in the world. It aims to reduce emissions cost-effectively. The EU ETS covers around 50% of EU emissions and has led to a 13.7% reduction in emissions from 2005-2009. Revisions to the EU ETS starting in 2013 include a stricter cap, increased auctioning of allowances, and benchmarks to determine free allocation. The EU ETS is intended to work with other EU climate and energy policies and serve as a building block for a robust international carbon market through linking with other cap-and-trade systems. Addressing surplus emissions credits is needed to support carbon prices.

It discusses how buildings and transportation are large energy consumers and how new technologies enable innovations like optimizing building climate and appliance usage using real-time data. A key project is transforming a brownfield site into the sustainable Stockholm Royal Seaport district, with goals of reducing CO2 emissions and becoming fossil fuel-free. The presentation addresses challenges around collaborative goods transportation and utilizing buildings as dynamic energy storage for the city through multi-disciplinary research.
Auctioning of emission allowances under the EU ETSLeonardo ENERGY
The European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Europe in a cost-effective manner. It is based on the cap-and-trade approach where a carbon market is created on which emission allowances are auctioned. Although today auctioning does not cover the totality of the emission allowances in the EU, it represents the main allocation principle.
To create the carbon market and allow auctioning to happen, the European legislators have put in place a system classically involving an auction platform, a monitoring, reporting and verification system, as well as rules regarding transparency and market abuse.
This system results in a carbon price which is key to the current structure of the EU climate and energy policy and is a matter of interest for a series of stakeholders.
The course will look into the structure and functioning of auctioning under the EU ETS and bring some practical perspectives based on experience before reflecting on the expected evolution of the system.
Indonesia's emission cap and trade in power sector - Bayu Nugroho, MEMROECD Environment
This document discusses Indonesia's plans to implement an emission cap and trade system in the power sector. Key points include:
- Indonesia has committed to reducing emissions by 29-41% by 2030 under the Paris Agreement and plans to use carbon pricing mechanisms like carbon taxes and trading to help meet this goal.
- The Directorate General of Electricity is conducting an emission trading system trial in 2021-2024 before implementing a mandatory program in 2025. The trial focuses on power plants and uses a cap-and-trade approach.
- Simulation results from the 2021 trial showed over 42,000 tons of CO2 transferred between power plants and 4,500 tons offset through international carbon credits.

Presentation on eu ets & aviation for iffaadJauwadSyed
The document discusses the European Union's Emission Trading Scheme and its implications for Indian airlines. The EU ETS aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through capping emissions and allowing trading of allowances. It includes aviation emissions starting in 2012. Indian airlines that fly routes to and from Europe must monitor and report their emissions. They will receive some allowances for free in 2012 based on past traffic, and may need to buy more allowances if emissions exceed the cap, or sell allowances if emissions are lower than allocated. Compliance with the EU ETS presents new responsibilities for covered Indian carriers.
Does the EU Emission Trading Scheme ETS Promote Energy Efficiency?Leonardo ENERGY
This policy brief analyzes the main interacting mechanisms between the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and the EU Emission Trading Scheme (ETS). It presents a detailed top-down approach, based on the ODYSSEE energy indicators, to identify energy savings from the EU ETS.
The main task consists in isolating those factors that contribute to the change in energy consumption of industrial branches covered by the EU ETS, and the energy transformation sector (mainly the electricity sector).

Webinar - The US energy savings potential and who pays for itLeonardo ENERGY
Several recent studies use bottom-up models to assess the potential for energy efficiency (or avoided emissions from greenhouse gases) and the costs of implementing such energy efficiency measure, representing these two dimensions in an energy efficiency supply curve. However, energy savings estimates are generally overly optimistic suggesting that the costs to achieve the energy efficiency potential are very low.
We revisit the energy efficiency supply curve approach, developing a model that accounts for key uncertainties and different perspectives on how energy efficiency potential can be tackled.
This model provides efficiency potential savings and associated costs for the US residential sector
Determining primary energy factors for electricityLeonardo ENERGY
This document outlines a framework for determining primary energy factors (PEFs) for electricity. It discusses using attributional vs consequential assessments and identifies key steps: selecting the assessment approach, clarifying the indicator, establishing system limits and time frames. It also outlines principles for PEF calculations in both attributional and consequential assessments, including allocating energy consumption and identifying relevant regulatory measures and marginal changes. Finally, it discusses applications of the framework and principles in EU energy directives for buildings, efficiency and ecodesign/labelling. The framework is intended to establish a consistent approach for determining and applying PEFs and conversion factors in an EU regulatory context.
Introduction to the EU Emission Trading SystemLeonardo ENERGY
The EU ETS Directive is the centrepiece of the European Union’s climate policy. It has created the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which is a unique and quite com-plex system.
The EU ETS establishes a scheme for greenhouse gas emissions allowances trading within 31 European countries. Its functioning is based on a “cap and trade” principle, which sets a cap on the total amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted by all participating installations. Within the cap, companies receive or buy emission allowances which they can trade with one another as needed.
Today, the EU ETS covers almost half of EU’s emissions and is part of the daily life of a large number of companies.
The EU ETS Directive represents the backbone of EU’s action against climate change, but it also works in combination with several other pieces of legislation in a delicate balance.
Our European system has very much evolved during the last 15 years. The existing legislation operates until 2020. It has set a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target in line with EU’s 2050 low carbon economy roadmap. The time has also come to discuss the post-2020 period and the European Commission will soon put forward a new proposal with a 2030 emissions reduction target.
Being the first one to have been setup, the European scheme is analysed and taken as exam-ple in other regions of the world where emissions trading starts being implemented.
This course aims at giving a presentation of the EU ETS Directive, the main features of the sys-tem, the balance with other pieces of EU legislation and at offering perspectives for the on-coming review of the scheme.
Dr. Sascha Lafeld gave a presentation on the financial sector's perspective on climate policy beyond 2012. He discussed that financial institutions are increasingly recognizing the risks of climate change. While the Kyoto Protocol and EU ETS have established frameworks for reducing emissions cost-effectively, long-term policy certainty is needed to encourage investment in low-carbon technologies. Looking ahead, Lafeld recommends setting a long-term target of limiting global warming to 2°C, providing early guidance on post-2012 policy, and fostering mechanisms like carbon markets and renewable energy targets to reduce emissions at lowest cost.
World Resources Institute hosted a launch event on 21 November 2014 for two new Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standards to inform government climate change strategies.
Building on previous GHG Protocol standards, the Policy and Action Standard helps evaluate the effectiveness of specific policies or measures in achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions, empowering policymakers and analysts to better assess and communicate their progress. The Mitigation Goal Standard takes a bigger picture view, enabling governments to determine their emissions trajectory and whether their policy portfolio aligns with reaching their climate goals. Both standards are applicable for all levels of government.

This document discusses revenue from emissions trading systems and how it is used. It provides information on allocation design options for allowances and the advantages and disadvantages of auctioning. Auctioning raises revenue for governments but does not protect high-emitting industries from carbon leakage. The document then examines how revenues from ETS auctions have been used in the EU, RGGI, California, and other programs, often to fund climate and clean energy programs. Sources of additional information on carbon pricing and ETS programs from the International Carbon Action Partnership are also listed.
Roadmap for moving to a low carbon economy in 2050UNDP Eurasia
This document outlines a roadmap for transitioning the EU to a low-carbon economy by 2050. It recommends that the EU reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% below 1990 levels by 2050, in the context of global cooperation. This can be achieved through gradual reductions of 1-2% per year across all economic sectors. It will require investments of €270 billion annually but will save €175-320 billion per year in fuel costs and create up to 1.5 million new jobs by 2020. Transitioning to a low-carbon economy will make the EU less dependent on fossil fuel imports and more energy secure.
More than 20 years ago, the EU vowed to fight the newly identified danger of climate change. Over time, it has developed a policy which is two-fold: on one hand, it looks at ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions inside EU borders and now has 2050 as horizon; on the other hand, it tends to lead by example and to push other big emitters to gather around similar emission reduction objectives.
Pursuing the idea of giving a price to carbon, the EU has put in place an instrument that would lead it towards decarbonisation: the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Launched in 2005, it has today become a complex system which is being reproduced in other parts of the world. The ultimate vision is one of a global carbon market leading to a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and thus mitigating the impact of climate change.
European Carbon Emissions Trading Schemedenise_clock
The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is the largest carbon emissions trading scheme in the world. It began in 2005 and was implemented in two phases. Phase one was ineffective due to the carbon allowances given to firms being too high and cheap, resulting in increased emissions. Phase two, beginning in 2008, saw stricter limits on emissions and higher carbon prices, creating more incentive for firms to actually reduce emissions. The ETS aims to combat the negative externalities of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming through a cap-and-trade system.
Snam reported strong financial results for fiscal year 2020 despite the challenges of the global pandemic. Net profit exceeded guidance and reached €1.164 billion, driven by higher regulated revenues, strong performance of international associates, and lower financing costs.

Flavio Cucchietti - Energy Efficiency and ICT: short term needs long term opp...iMinds conference
Telecom Italia is one of the largest energy consumers in Italy due to its extensive telecommunications network. The company consumed over 2,000 GWh of electricity in 2008, equivalent to the annual output of a nuclear power plant. While energy efficiency efforts over the past decade led to a 20% reduction in consumption, rising energy costs increased operating expenses. Further actions are needed to reduce the energy burden on both networks and customers. Standardization will be key to promoting energy-efficient technologies and achieving coordination across different sectors and regions.
This document discusses fault current limiters (FCLs) and their potential to extend the capacity of power grids. It notes that renewable energy targets are straining grids and that FCLs can help by limiting fault currents, allowing existing protection equipment to isolate faults and defer costly upgrades. The document outlines different FCL technologies, including Fault Current Limited's novel solid-state design, and estimates significant market potential for FCL deployment in the UK and benefits including savings of £38.4 million in one project. FCLs are presented as a cost-effective way to integrate more renewable energy by overcoming grid constraints.

Impact of technology uncertainty on future low-carbon pathways in the UKIEA-ETSAP
This document summarizes the results of a study that used energy systems modeling to explore the impact of technology uncertainty on the long-term development of the UK energy system as it works to meet its emissions reduction target of 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. The study analyzed 32 scenarios that varied the availability, cost and diffusion of key low-carbon technologies like nuclear, CCS, biomass and renewables. The analysis found that restricting technologies like CCS and biomass had the largest impact on costs and the energy system transition. Combined restrictions generally had greater effects than individual restrictions. Carbon prices ranged from £244-7000/tCO2eq in 2050 depending on the scenario.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
(Q)SAR Assessment Framework: Guidance for Assessing (Q)SAR Models and Predict...hannahthabet
The webinar provided an overview of the new OECD (Q)SAR Assessment Framework for evaluating the scientific validity of (Q)SAR models, predictions, and results from multiple predictions. The QAF provides assessment elements for existing principles for evaluating models, as well as new principles for evaluating predictions and results. In addition to the principles, assessment elements, and guidance for evaluating each element, the QAF includes a checklist for reporting assessments.
This new Framework provides regulators with a consistent and transparent approach for reviewing the use of (Q)SAR predictions in a regulatory context and increases the confidence to accept alternative methods for evaluating chemical hazards. The OECD worked closely together with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italy) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), supported by a variety of international experts to develop a checklist of criteria and guidance for evaluating each criterion. The aim of the QAF is to help establish confidence in the use of (Q)SARs in evaluating chemical safety, and was designed to be applicable irrespective of the modelling technique used to build the model, the predicted endpoint, and the intended regulatory purpose.
The webinar provided an overview of the project and presented the main aspects of the framework for assessing models and results based on individual or multiple predictions.
There is a tremendous amount of news being disseminated every day online about dangerous forever chemicals called PFAS. In this interview with a global PFAS testing expert, Geraint Williams of ALS, he and York Analytical President Michael Beckerich discuss the hot-button issues for the environmental engineering and consulting industry -- the wider range of PFAS contamination sites, new PFAS that are unregulated, and the compliance challenges ahead.
Widespread PFAS contamination requires stringent sampling and laboratory analyses by certified laboratories only -- whether it is for PFAS in soil, groundwater, wastewater or drinking water.
Contact us at York Analytical Laboratories for expert environmental testing with fast turnaround times and client service. We have 4 state-certified laboratories in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, and 4 client service centers.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

7. Feature 1
• Indirect emissions from electricity consumption
are counted into emissions reporting and
allowances
– Beijing’s consumer responsibility: More than 67% of
Beijing’s electricity consumption is imported from
power plants located in other provinces under the
dispatch by North China Power Grid.
– The coverage of indirect emissions from electricity
consumption may also help to prevent carbon leakage
from Beijing to surrounding provinces by increase the
electricity import.

12. Perspectives
• Every emissions trading scheme in the world
would pass through the approach of "learning by
doing“
• No matter its future trading market booms or not,
the BETS is a useful exploration in the field of
developing countries’ actions on climate change
• BETS will provide practical experiences for the
construction of uniformed emissions trading
scheme in China (currently only covering the
power sector) and even in the world
