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.

Presentation by Dr. Brigitte Knopf from Potsdam Institute for Climate Institute (PIK). The European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS): Ex-Post Analysis, the Market Stability Reserve and Options for a Comprehensive Reform
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.

84th ICREA colloquium 'Carbon pricing and energy use pathways for staying wit...ICREA
'Parallel tracks towards a post-Paris treaty on carbon pricing'
Stopping climate change has turned out to be an immense challenge. Although denial of the problem seems to weaken somewhat, a serious hurdle to a solution is that many scientists and politicians are insufficiently focused on ultimate effectiveness of policies. We quantify the magnitude of the decarbonization challenge and discuss general solution strategies and policy instruments. We then look into the carbon emissions involved in a renewable energy transition, assess the effects of recessions on carbon emissions and discuss the trade-offs between economic growth and reducing carbon emissions. We zoom in on carbon pricing, listing classic and heterodox arguments in favor of it, dealing with effectiveness, efficiency, equity, national and international feasibility, and systemic effects. Complementary instruments and the reasons for their use are mentioned as well. On the basis of this, implications for the policy trajectory after the Paris international climate agreement are formulated.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

One size fits all?
Effects from carbon pricing:
direct and indirect operation cost increase
Cost recovery depends on ability to pass them through
Pass-through depends on:
– International/national competition
– Regulation (indirect costs)
– Market structures
– Abatement costs reducing emissions or electricity consumption
– Share of carbon costs in overall cost structure, elasticities
(demand, substitutes)

EU approach to carbon leakage from EU ETS
(phase III 2013 – 2020)
Legislation: Art 10a of EU ETS Directive: >5% cost increase and
>10% trade intensity; or either >30% cost increase or >30% trade
intensity
Carbon leakage list (2009): 2013 – 2014, amendments made
according to qualitative assessments
Review 2014: list for 2015 – 2019
Benchmarking (product-specific)
Sectors and subsectors on the list receive free allowances:
– 100% if belonging to 10% most efficient producers in the sector
– Less than 100% (80% in 2013, reduced per annum to reach 30%
in 2020)
Indirect carbon cost: Article 10(6) gives Member States the
possibility to compensate the most electro-intensive sectors through
national state aid schemes

Competitiveness due to energy and climate
policy?
The competitiveness indicator of the World Economic Forum puts
15% weight on the innovative capacity of a country and 1% on the
electricity infrastructure. Several European countries are among the
global leaders on innovation across all low-carbon
technologies.
Europe spends a similar proportion of its GDP on energy as the
United States and other major competitors. Prices stimulate higher
efficiency and countries with higher energy prices are often more
energy efficient. Fig 9 staying with the leaders

Special treatment for a few sectors
In Europe a few key sectors deserve (and get) special treatment.
8% of manufacturing industries spend more than 6% of their
revenue on energy. For some of their energy intensive processes,
energy price differentials to the rest of the world can matter.
(Germany: for 92% of manufacturing, energy bills are on average
less than 1.6% of revenue)
However, energy price differences with competitors due to
differences in natural resource endowment can only be compensated
for through additional efforts on energy efficiency and
innovation.

EU ETS carbon leakage post 2020
EU legislation after Paris COP21 in 2016
For the carbon leakage procedure, public consultations in 2014 with
stakeholder meetings
Modernisation of the provisions and their application needed:
- first two rounds: assumption of a 30€ / t carbon price – which
never materialised
- Reform plans for the EU ETS beyond 2020
- International competition: other countries pricing activities, esp.
China (major trade partner in sectors at risk)

A changing landscape – INDC projections
First analyses of INDCs from major emitting countries (EU, US,
Japan, China, India, Brazil) show
– energy efficiency gains play a vital role in delivering on national
targets and that the power sector is equally important: efficiency
of plants, increase of REN shares
– Electrifcation of final demand (e.g. transport) needed
– Industry: EEI vital for achieving overall emissions reductions; in
China share of secondary sector in overall GDP to decline
Drivers of national energy demand: GDP and population
Potential of co-benefits: reducing energy imports, innovation
Carbon pricing: EU and China (but not included in INDC explicitely)
