In this month's SlideShare we'll be covering the topic of carbon credits and carbon offsets and how these instruments are implemented to reduce carbon emissions to combat climate change. While the terms are often used interchangeably, carbon credits and carbon offsets does have certain key differences we'll be exploring. There are also important milestones to note, from the US Clean Air Act and Kyoto Protocol to UN Carbon Offset Platform. Over recent years, the carbon market value have grown significantly from EUR 186 billion in 2018 to EUR 850 billion in 2022.
This presentation is an introduction to the sustainable energy challenge. It gives an overview over fossil fuels, the laws of energy, energy efficiency and conservation, and renewable energy sources. The focus is on providing students with the scientific tools for understanding the magnitude of the challenge and analyzing potential solutions.
Carbon credits allow entities to emit one ton of carbon dioxide. They are awarded to countries or groups that reduce emissions below quotas and can be traded internationally. Presently, Australia, the US, former Soviet Union, Japan, EU, China, Indonesia, and India account for most emissions. Carbon credits are acquired through mechanisms like the Clean Development Mechanism which allows developed countries to sponsor projects in developing countries. Credits are created through compliance markets governed by UN standards or voluntary markets accredited by independent standards. Buying credits funds carbon reduction projects and helps lower costs of renewable technologies. Trading credits globally impacts emissions, while generating profits allows India to invest in advancing technologies. Common carbon projects include renewable energy, forestation, energy efficiency, and
An Introduction to Carbon Offsets, Markets and ProjectsThe Climate Trust
The document provides an outline and information about carbon offset projects. It discusses that The Climate Trust was founded in 1997 to acquire carbon offsets for new power plants regulated by the Oregon Carbon Dioxide Standard. It developed processes to evaluate, quantify, verify and register offset projects. The document also discusses the types of offset projects including forestry, agriculture, cookstoves, and fertilizer. It provides examples of offset projects in Latin America.
This document summarizes key topics in electricity pricing and environmental economics:
- The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is the price required to equate the net present value of revenue from electricity production with the net present value of production costs over the lifetime of a generating asset. LCOE is important for policy decisions but difficult to estimate due to uncertainties.
- Externalities like environmental costs are not included in LCOE but should be through "shadow pricing" to properly evaluate generation options.
- Subsidies have been used to promote renewable energy but a better approach may be taxing "brown" or polluting power to reflect externalities rather than just making "green" power artificially
Carbon credits are permits that allow entities to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide. They are a key part of international attempts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Under the Kyoto Protocol, countries and groups can earn credits by reducing emissions below their quotas, which can then be sold to other entities to offset their emissions. India is the second largest seller of carbon credits globally due to numerous registered clean development mechanism projects. However, Indian companies are hesitant to trade most of the credits they generate due to market uncertainties. One area with potential for credits in India is management of municipal solid waste through conversion to energy.

Carbon credits are certificates awarded for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They are measured in units of carbon dioxide reduction and can be traded on exchanges. The Kyoto Protocol established a carbon trading system where countries must meet emission reduction targets or purchase credits from countries that have excess. The goal is to lower overall emissions of six greenhouse gases. While developed countries have mandatory targets, developing countries do not due to their historically low emissions per capita.
The document discusses environmental protection movements and international conventions related to the environment. It describes how environmentalism covers broad areas like consumption of natural resources, pollution, and exposure to toxins. The movement focuses on environmental science, activism, advocacy, and justice. International conventions establish standards for preserving natural resources and protecting the environment. The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change through systems like carbon trading between countries.
The document discusses three main categories of biomass energy conversion technologies: combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis. Combustion is the most common and simplest process, directly burning biomass to produce heat and electricity. Gasification converts biomass into gas at high temperatures for gas production. Pyrolysis uses thermal decomposition in the absence of oxygen to produce liquid bio-oil or pyrolysis oil from biomass.
Carbon credits represent the right to emit one ton of carbon dioxide. The Kyoto Protocol established a cap and trade system where countries are assigned emission limits and can trade carbon credits. If a country emits less than its limit, it can sell excess credits to countries that exceed their limits. While carbon trading provides incentives to reduce emissions, it has been criticized for allowing countries to simply buy credits rather than reduce their own emissions and lacking a unified global framework.
The document discusses key concepts related to global carbon markets and climate change mitigation efforts. It describes the Kyoto Protocol and mechanisms like emissions trading, joint implementation, and the Clean Development Mechanism. China is the largest supplier of emissions reductions credits but Africa accounts for a small share of projects. There is debate around whether requirements should apply equally to developed and developing countries given differences in emissions histories and development levels. Carbon markets aim to reduce emissions cost-effectively but some argue they have not adequately supported projects in countries most vulnerable to climate change.

The talk will review the many services needed in today's grid, and those that will be more important in the future. It will also review recent competitive equilibrium theory for the highly dynamic markets that may emerge in tomorrow's grid. In particular, to combat volatility from increasing penetration of renewable energy resources, there will be greater need for regulation services at various time-scales. There is enormous potential to secure these ancillary services via demand response. However, there is an obsession today with the promotion of real time prices to incentivize demand response. All evidence strongly suggests that this is a bad idea: 1) In 2011, massive price swings in the real-time market generated anger in Texas and New Zealand 2) Our own research shows that this is to be expected: in a completive equilibrium real-time prices will reach the choke up price (which was recently estimated at 1/4 million dollars). With transmission constraints, our research concludes that prices can go much higher. 3) A recent EIA study shows that consumers are scared of smart meters - they do not trust utility companies to experiment with their meters, or their power bills. We must then ask, is there any motivation to focus on markets in a real-time setting? The speaker believes there is none. Explanations will be given, and alternative visions will be proposed.
Evaluating the Development and Impact of Feed-In TariffsDirk Volkmann
Dirk Volkmann presented on evaluating the development and impact of feed-in tariffs (FITs). He began by defining FITs as a policy mechanism that provides renewable energy producers a guaranteed fixed rate for the electricity they generate. Volkmann then discussed several benefits of FIT programs, including that they have proven highly effective in accelerating renewable energy development in Germany. He also noted that FIT programs pay for themselves in less than one year through avoided fossil fuel and external costs. However, integrating renewable energy into the market poses challenges for transmission system operators given fluctuations in renewable production. Overall, Volkmann argued that FITs are superior to other policy mechanisms and have been very successful in promoting renewable energy growth in Europe.

Scenario I compares the levelized cost of electricity for wind vs. coal cogeneration, natural gas engines, and fuel oil engines for captive power plants over 20 years. Scenario II evaluates the costs for utility-scale coal, gas, and fuel oil plants vs. a 150 MW wind farm. The wind farm has lower lifetime costs per MWh than all fossil fuel options considered for both scenarios.
TowerLabs: Accelerating Adoption of Green Building Technologies for CondosToronto 2030 District
Jamie James, Founder of TowerLabs @ MaRS showcases some of their research and the technology they are incubating to accelerate the uptake of cleantech in the condo sector.
The IEA’s Implementing Agreement on Renewable Energy Technology Deployment (IEA-RETD) has commissioned a study on the integration of variable renewable (VRE) generation in the electricity systems (RE-INTEGRATION). The objective of the RE-INTEGRATION study is to generate new insights for key decision makers in governments and private sector regarding the following research questions:
◦What are typical sets of country specific system and regulatory factors that determine the choice of a given portfolio of flexibility options?
◦What does a – case study based – thorough assessment of the portfolios of flexibility options along the different analytical dimensions conclude on the applicability and the effectiveness of the options?
◦What general lessons might be drawn by countries with similar underlying conditions?
The RE-INTEGRATION builds on recent and on-going IEA-RETD and IEA work, in particular IEA-RETD RES-E-NEXT, IEA-RETD RE-COST 1 and IEA GIVAR III.
The study, carried out by Mott MacDonald, U.K., concludes that the continued increase of levels of penetration of VRE technologies requires new policies in order to secure a successful integration of VRE’s into markets and power systems. The study finds that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach: policy makers will need to tailor their policy interventions to suit their country specific factors, though many VRE integration policies have the additional benefit of promoting efficient markets. Countries with weak interconnection and electrical system flexibility will face the greatest challenge, and so they will need to implement appropriate VRE integration measures at lower levels of VRE penetration.
The Volume I: Main Report outlines the overall approach taken, the background and methodology behind the study and key findings. The study undertook a more detailed analysis, through case studies, of 10 jurisdictions around the globe. The case studies included: Canada (Alberta, Ontario), Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Japan (Hokkaido), Spain and USA (California, Texas (ERCOT)). Detailed information relating to each jurisdiction can be found in Volume II: Case Studies.
The Future Perspective of the Electricity Market – Unbundling and Market Inte...Oeko-Institut
The document discusses Germany's ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing renewable energy and energy efficiency by 2050. It notes that achieving these targets will require significant shares of electricity to come from renewable sources like wind and solar. This presents challenges for integrating renewables into the electricity system and market. Policies to address this include reforming electricity markets and the renewable energy support system to better integrate renewables. Infrastructure must also be upgraded through new transmission and distribution networks. Experience shows that unbundling electricity utilities and establishing independent system operators and regulators helps enable major infrastructure investments and planning.

Session2 solar thermal applications in palestine (abdallatif kharouf, pec; an...RCREEE
This document summarizes a regional workshop held in Cairo on solar thermal applications in Palestine. It discusses Palestine's energy challenges including limited resources, high prices, and environmental threats. Solar thermal currently provides 8.5% of energy but there is potential for growth. Local manufacturing of solar water heaters exists but faces barriers like quality standards and export restrictions. Recommendations include developing financing, policies, standards, testing facilities, and awareness campaigns to support the solar industry.
The document describes independent power providers (IPPs) in the UK and their role in renewable energy generation. It defines IPPs as power generation businesses that are independent of large incumbent suppliers but interdependent through electricity sales. IPPs face obstacles like incentive uncertainty and lack of long-term financing options. However, they provide benefits such as developing local generation assets, responding quickly to market changes, and creating new jobs. The presentation argues IPPs can help enable community schemes and act as agents of change in the UK electricity market.
Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables Breakfast Briefing II: Battery and Non-Batt...Nicole Green
Storage system prices have declined by more than 60% since 2012 and are expected to decline by another 30% over the next five years. Historically battery prices drove the bulk of system price declines, but in the future both battery prices and non-battery components like inverters, software & controls, and design, engineering and construction services will drive system price reductions. Where will the market see most savings? How will the vendor landscape evolve over the course of the next five years, as the storage industry collectively targets bringing down system prices further.
This document describes the challenges of accurately reporting energy usage costs and carbon savings across different geographic locations with variable electricity tariffs. It explains how factors like electricity prices, carbon dioxide emission rates, and utility rebates vary in different places. The NightWatchman 6 software addresses this by allowing users to define tariffs for locations that specify the cost per kWh, carbon conversion rate, and utility provider. This enables NightWatchman to accurately calculate and report costs, emissions, and savings at each location.
The document discusses the challenges facing energy grids in Ireland and solutions provided by GE's smart grid technologies. Demand for energy is rising significantly in Ireland while renewable energy sources are also increasing. GE's smart grid uses data and communications technologies to provide solutions that empower consumers, increase grid reliability and efficiency, and better integrate renewable energy. These solutions include smart appliances, advanced metering, demand response systems, and technologies to optimize voltage and reactive power.

• Various types and denominations
Green Certificate, TREC, TRC, REC
Tradable Renewable (Energy) Certificate/Credits
Renewable Energy Credit / Green tags
• piece of information
• represents the benefits (aside from the physical electricity)
associated with electricity generation by renewable sources
• It is a commodity which can be traded
6. How does a certificate system work

7. Rationale of Green Certificates
• The main idea is to separate physical flux of electricity from its
environmental benefits
• create a market where Green certificates can be traded distinct
from the market for the supply and demand of electricity
• gives flexibility by allowing green producers of electricity to
reach easily green consumers
• Green certificates could be generated and sold anywhere in
the world where there is demand!
8. Demand must be created through the right regulatory

17. How can green certificates be used?
• Monitoring and Statistics:
-Proof of RE generation
- Labelling
- Disclosure ( guarantee of origin )
• International trade :
-Proof of import/export of renewable energy
• Incentive system
– requires Obligations and incentives/ penalties
– together with Feed-in tariff
– together with tax incentive
18. Proof of RE generation/Labelling/ Disclosure
• Some suppliers may wish to target “green” consumers
by selling them an electricity product with high
renewables content
• The labelling body could require Green Certificates to be
redeemed in order to verify compliance with label
criteria. e.g. generated from hydro plant with a capacity
below 20MW
• Within EU it is obligatory that suppliers provide
customers with information on the fuel mix for their
electricity. Green Certificates can be used as guarantee
of origin
19. Benefits of Green Certificate Systems
• Green Certificates can be traded across country boundaries
• Green Certificates overcome physical electricity transfer restrictions
• Green certificates promote best practice : it gives incentives to
most economical sites , since the physical barrier to trade of RE
benefits is removed e.g. even production of solar electricity in
tropical countries but green certificates bought by consumers in the
North?
• Green Certificates help to remove the requirement that supply &
demand of RE occur at same time
• Green Certificates can prove compliance with public support
schemes
20. Constraints of Green Certificate Systems
• Risk of double counting must be avoided
• Reliable tracking system of the whole life cycles of the
certificates is a "must "
• Legal framework has to be stable ( obligations, penalties )
• No harmonized market, very scattered systems
• market based prices
21. Conclusions
• Green Certificates provide information
• Green Certificate systems can be used with many different RE
policies
• Green Certificates offer flexibility and transparency for the
market
• Green Certificate systems have been proven to be robust and
fraud-resistant

31. Certificates in the USA
• 14 of 19 RPS states in USA uses Certificates to demonstrate
compliance
• There is also a strong voluntary market which cannot be
neglected
• Prices can vary a lot on the compliance markets
– From 0.70 US cents/MWh (Maine)
– To 35-49 US dollar/MWh (New England)
• Prices on the voluntary market
– From 2 US dollar to 6 US dollar (new generation)
– But some sources like 200 US dollar/MWh
– From 1 US dollar to 3 US dollar (existing generation)
34. Use of certificates in the USA
• Certificates can be sold
– Bundled with the electricity to local retailers
– Unbundled at a regional or national level
• Certificates can be aggregated from small systems
• Certificates can be sold in advance of generation
35. The future of TREC in the USA
• National registration?
– State registration currently so a generator can be in several
tracking systems and issue REC in each tracking system
• Link with the emission certificate market?
– Currently RE not eligible or there is no rules to allow
participation
• Clarity of the system for end-users?
– Currently, the system tends to get too complex to be
understood
• E.g. sale of certificate without the totality of their
environmental attributes, sale of certificates without
corresponding electricity
36. Conclusions
• Green Certificates provide information
• Green Certificate systems can be used with many different RE
policies
• Green Certificates offer flexibility and transparency for the
market
• Green Certificate systems have been proven to be robust and
fraud-resistant
• Green Certificates will be used in an growing market
