The document discusses actions needed for a low-carbon economy in the Circum-Bohai-Sea region of China. It analyzes the necessity of transitioning to a low-carbon economy to avoid high costs, carbon lock-in, and ensure energy security. It evaluates the low-carbon development levels of three Chinese regions and finds Circum-Bohai-Sea lagging due to high energy and carbon intensity. The document proposes government policies, citizen behaviors, and enterprise movements to support the transition, and outlines SK's plans to invest in renewable energy in the region.
This document discusses policy options for transitioning to a low-carbon economy by 2050. It explores sustaining economic growth while transforming energy production and consumption. The presentation builds on previous publications by identifying policy ideas without prescribing specific approaches. It discusses challenges like uncertain development pathways and high/low carbon scenarios. Milestones by 2025 include efficiency gains, commercializing carbon capture and storage, renewable deployment, and vehicle efficiency. National policy frameworks and international cooperation on technology and emissions management can help achieve long-term climate goals.

1) This document discusses Canada's long-term strategy for meeting energy needs while reducing emissions and improving air quality by 2050.
2) It finds that Canada can meet these goals through increased energy efficiency, reducing the carbon intensity of energy production including developing carbon capture and storage, and transforming electricity generation.
3) An urgent long-term signal is needed to guide investment decisions towards lower emission options.
The document discusses how increasing international electricity trade and the Kyoto Protocol's emissions reduction targets may contradict each other. Under the Protocol, countries are accountable for domestic emissions, including those from exported electricity. This disadvantages exporters of fossil-fuel based electricity. However, the document argues international emissions trading could help reconcile electricity trade and emissions targets by allowing countries to offset increased domestic emissions from exports. The economic efficiencies of electricity trade could then contribute to cost-effective emissions reductions if harnessed to an international trading system.
In the final paper/presentation for HPL480: Environmental Policy & Econoimics, I argue that we should pursue Cap & Trade policies rather than a straight carbon tax.
Top Ten Renewable Energy Market Drivers020409ronmiller74
The document outlines the top ten drivers of renewable energy according to a presentation given in 2009. It lists the drivers as: the 2008 election, state renewable portfolio standards, the economic downturn, investment tax credits and production tax credits, rising energy prices, falling technology costs, challenges in project funding due to the financial crisis, potential future carbon taxes, required hurdle rates of return for project approval, and transmission constraints limiting renewable energy development. It provides details on each of these drivers and how they impact renewable energy markets.

U.S. Congress is currently developing major energy legislation aimed a reducing greenhouse gas emissions though a Cap & Trade regime for the first time in history. In the summer of 2009, the House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, also known as the Waxman-Markey Bill. Action now has move to the Senate. If enacted, this sweeping energy reform could significantly affect both the cost and sources of energy that fuel the U.S. economy as well as the international competitiveness of U.S. industry. This session will address some of the key issues currently being debated in the Senate concerning the design of a clean energy and climate bill, such as the potential role of low- and no-carbon technologies, the use of domestic and international offsets, and other cost containment measures. The potential economic impacts of climate change policy on the future of the U.S. economy will also be discussed.
The document discusses a proposal for a strategy for U.S. natural gas exports. It summarizes the proposal in the following points:
1) The U.S. is now a major natural gas producer due to new technologies, lowering domestic prices and creating an opportunity to export gas internationally where prices are higher.
2) The proposal argues federal regulators should consider applications for natural gas exports based on their macroeconomic, distributional, oil security, climate change, foreign policy, and local environmental impacts.
3) Based on this framework, the proposal finds overall benefits of exports outweigh costs, so it recommends approving pending applications subject to adequate environmental regulations.
This document discusses the business case for implementing a carbon price. It summarizes that unchecked climate change poses a massive threat to the global economy, with potential GDP losses of over 20% by 2100. It also notes that many large businesses are already taking climate action and implementing internal carbon pricing. The benefits of an economy-wide carbon price are outlined as reducing emissions to levels beyond the US Paris Agreement targets, promoting fair competition by accounting for the costs of fossil fuels, spurring innovation and job growth in clean energy sectors. Examples of successful carbon pricing programs in other jurisdictions like RGGI, California, and British Columbia are provided.
The document discusses several topics related to regulating greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources:
1) It argues that the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act and discusses several Senate votes and bills related to regulating emissions from the oil, gas and coal industries.
2) It provides statistics on U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and their top sources, and suggests policies like cap and trade could help reduce emissions while creating new jobs.
3) It discusses the growth of carbon trading markets globally, with the EU ETS being the largest, and outlines the EU's goals to expand these markets to more countries and sectors over time.
4) It highlights Germany's success
This document discusses potential leadership roles for the Communications Research Centre (CRC) in developing a national Green IT strategy in Canada. It recommends that CRC establish a pilot program to host government applications on its GreenStar Network and offer virtualization services to departments. This would allow CRC to assess the actual energy costs of computing, establish an incentive mechanism where departments are rewarded for reducing physical infrastructure, and negotiate with Public Works to receive credits for measurable energy reductions achieved through Green IT solutions. The document also provides background on climate change impacts, trends in climate policy and regulations, case studies of Green IT programs at other organizations, and other potential roles for CRC in certifying the carbon impact of IT and demonstrating Green IT solutions to small and medium enterprises.
The document discusses carbon credits, which are units that represent the reduction or offset of greenhouse gas emissions and can be generated through projects under the Kyoto Protocol's Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism programs. It provides background on carbon credits and how they work, factors that influence the demand and supply of carbon credits, and examples of carbon credit projects in Thailand. Thailand has registered 66 Clean Development Mechanism projects that have generated over 1 million metric tons of certified emission reductions.
Impacts of Carbon Pricing on the Building Industryrgraystone
The document discusses the impacts of carbon pricing for buildings. It explains that carbon pricing is seen as an effective way to mitigate climate change by putting a price on greenhouse gas emissions. This will impact all aspects of society, including buildings, which represent a large source of emissions. By 2020, costs to the building industry in Canada from carbon pricing could reach up to $16 billion per year. Both direct emissions from buildings and indirect emissions from electricity and building materials will subject buildings to carbon costs.

Letter from American Chemistry Council 12.24.02 (b)Obama White House
The document summarizes the U.S. chemical industry's response to President Bush's Global Climate Business Challenge to reduce greenhouse gas intensity by 18% by 2012. Key points:
1) The chemical industry commits to reducing its own greenhouse gas intensity by 18% by 2012 using 1990 as the baseline. It will collect member data annually to measure progress.
2) It will continue developing products to help other industries improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions. This includes insulation materials, parts for more efficient cars and appliances, and building materials.
3) It will work with the government to establish consistent reporting methods and definitions to ensure transparency of reduction numbers. It will also regularly report progress to the public and government.
EPA denied a petition to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles for three reasons: 1) EPA lacks authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate CO2 emissions for climate change; 2) regulating vehicle fuel economy to reduce CO2 emissions is assigned to DOT by Congress; and 3) regulating GHG emissions now would be premature without more scientific study. The petition was filed in 1999 by environmental groups but EPA is now taking final action to deny it to avoid unnecessary litigation.
The document is the American Chemistry Council's response to President Bush's challenge for American businesses to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It outlines the chemical industry's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas intensity by 18% by 2012 compared to 1990 levels. It also pledges to continue developing products that help other industries improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions. The response identifies 12 specific commitments the chemical industry is making, including collecting and reporting emissions data, educating customers and employees, and working with government to support policies that encourage emissions reductions.
1) Coal currently supplies over 38% of the world's electricity and 23% of global primary energy needs. However, coal must significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to be sustainable.
2) Clean coal technologies aim to 1) eliminate emissions of pollutants, 2) increase thermal efficiency to reduce CO2 emissions, and 3) eliminate CO2 emissions entirely. This includes technologies like coal washing, particulate filters, and carbon capture and storage.
3) Advanced technologies like fluidized bed combustion can reduce emissions by 90% while improving efficiency. Widespread adoption of existing pollution control and higher efficiency technologies could reduce emissions 10-25% to support continued coal use.
The Right View on Environmental & Energy PolicyLeo Dombrowski
This document summarizes a presentation on environmental and energy policy. It discusses improvements in air quality over recent decades due to technology and regulations. However, it argues that some current policies under the Obama administration impose high costs for little benefit. The document advocates increasing development of domestic energy resources like oil, natural gas and coal to boost supply and lower costs. It is critical of subsidies for renewable energy and arguments for drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
This document compares the use of market-based instruments (MBIs) for environmental policy in China and Brazil. Both countries face rising environmental problems from rapid economic growth. China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases due to its reliance on coal and lack of early environmental oversight. It has implemented subsidies, restrictions on polluting industries, tax incentives and differential electricity pricing to encourage cleaner technologies and reduce emissions. Brazil uses credit/tax incentives and cost-recovery tariffs for water/sanitation. Both countries have made progress with MBIs but need to strengthen implementation and enforcement. China's carbon emissions continue to rise rapidly and it has further to go to match environmental policies of more developed nations.
China energy and environmental challengesYibo Yang
- China faces enormous challenges in meeting its growing energy demand while addressing serious environmental and health impacts from air pollution. Electricity demand is growing at 15% annually while GDP grows at 10% per year.
- China's policies emphasize energy efficiency and environmental protection but it still lags targets to reduce energy intensity and emissions by 2010. New policies promote energy efficiency power plants, differential pricing, and environmental dispatch.
- China is considering how to better integrate energy and environmental policies and structure the power sector to address climate change, similar to issues facing other countries. Regulators from the US will visit to discuss these challenges.

The document summarizes Korea's policies and strategies for transitioning to a circular economy. It discusses how Korea has adopted various policy instruments, including a target management system, resource efficiency program, energy recovery program, recycling technology program, and emission trading system, to transform its previously linear economy. The Kaya identity, which decomposes greenhouse gas emissions into economic output, energy intensity, and carbon intensity, serves as a useful framework to understand Korea's motivation for this transition. Specifically, Korea's rapid economic growth had led to a doubling of its per capita greenhouse gas emissions over 20 years, so it aims to decouple economic growth from environmental impacts through circular economy policies.
Business guide on carbon emission redution and sustainabilityBarney Loehnis
This document provides a 6-step guide for businesses to reduce emissions and addresses climate change. It discusses the risks of climate change and regulations, measuring emissions, setting reduction targets, implementing initiatives, offsetting remaining emissions, and tracking progress. Solutions discussed include energy efficiency in buildings, lighting, office equipment, and green procurement. The business case for action includes cost savings, competitive advantage, and responding to future regulations and consumer expectations.
The document discusses mechanisms for utilizing carbon finance to support clean energy development projects. It describes carbon markets, which involve trading carbon offsets created by emissions-reducing projects. It also describes carbon finance, which provides direct grants and loans to clean energy projects. Major sources of carbon finance include the World Bank carbon funds, future Green Climate Fund, and Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions. The document concludes that while carbon prices will remain low, carbon finance represents a big opportunity for least developed countries like Myanmar to attract investment for clean energy and reduce emissions.
The document discusses opportunities for SK Energy to enter the wind power market in China. It analyzes the market size and growth potential of China's wind industry.

There is potential for SK Energy to partner with players in the industry to take advantage of opportunities in both developed and developing wind power markets in China.
Hong Kong Environmental Protection And Policy DevelopmentHKBU
The document discusses greenhouse gas emissions and climate change policies in Hong Kong. It notes that while China and Hong Kong are not obligated to follow the Kyoto Protocol as developing regions, steps still need to be taken to reduce emissions. Specifically, it suggests that the two major power companies in Hong Kong could produce less excess electricity, and that citizens and businesses should seek ways to minimize electricity usage. Finally, it argues that Hong Kong should collaborate with the Pearl River Delta region to combat emissions and environmental issues through regulations, incentives, and emissions trading programs.
The document discusses several key issues related to climate change:
1) Developing countries will be disproportionately impacted by climate change and have contributed less to causing the problem historically. Equity is needed in international agreements to address this.
2) While emissions trading can help reduce costs, the focus should be on transitioning to clean energy rather than subsidizing fossil fuels. Mechanisms like CDM risk locking countries into carbon-intensive pathways.
3) Transportation is a fast growing source of emissions. Stronger fuel efficiency and emissions standards globally, especially in major developing country markets, could significantly reduce emissions trends.
Etude PwC Low Carbon Economy Index (oct. 2015)PwC France
L'année 2014 a marqué un tournant en matière de réduction des émissions de carbone dans les économies du G20. C’est ce que révèle le cabinet d’audit et de conseil PwC dans la 7ème édition de son étude annuelle « Low carbon Economy index », qui modélise l'intensité carbone des grandes économies – à savoir les émissions des gaz à effet de serre liées à la consommation d'énergie par million de dollars de PIB. En effet, l'intensité carbone a chuté de 2,7% en 2014, soit sa plus forte baisse depuis 2000.
La France fait office d’exemple : elle a réduit son intensité carbone de plus de 9% en 2014, ce qui représente la 2ème plus forte réduction des pays du G20, juste derrière le Royaume-Uni (- 10,9%).
The purpose of the research was to determine the availability of alternative carbon revenue for renewable energy schemes in Zimbabwe taking Chipendeke Micro Hydro Scheme as a case study for the research. The research was based on how the Micro hydro power projects can benefit from the financing in terms of improved revenue provision as a source of income, it came up with the a comparison between carbon financed scheme and a non carbon financed scheme and explained how carbon finance affects the payback period of the project After analysis of the different carbon finance options available a design package of the carbon finance was done and it came up with the mechanism of carbon finance to be used, cost of project with and without carbon finance, how the carbon revenue would be used and the responsible parties for application and receipt of the funding.

IRJET- Forecasting and Order Preparation of Energy Consumption in IndiaIRJET Journal
1. The document discusses forecasting and order preparation of energy consumption in India. It analyzes past energy consumption data from 2012-2018 using the least squares method to forecast future consumption.
2. When preparing orders for the energy sector, factors like capacity, carbon taxes, available space, sources of energy, and their costs must be considered. Renewable sources like solar and wind are being emphasized but have limitations in reliability and land use.
3. Nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewable sources will likely be key in meeting India's growing energy needs in a sustainable manner while balancing environmental and economic factors. Thermal sources may be phased out over time.
Finance Models for Green Tech Startups, IPEEC 2012nooone
This document discusses financing models and trends for green tech startups in Asia. It provides an overview of energy efficiency cooperation between countries, definitions of energy efficiency potential, and trends in the Asia Pacific region. It also summarizes energy efficiency financing deals by sector, global emissions data, energy intensity across countries, energy efficiency market penetration in areas like lighting and green IT, and the growth of the ESCO industry in Asia Pacific. It concludes by recommending steps governments and businesses can take to further energy efficiency goals, like establishing funding mechanisms and developing innovative financing vehicles.
Kateri Callahan joined Israeli mayors and senior representatives from local Tel Aviv authorities and agencies to discuss the challenges and potential for Israeli cities in deploying energy efficiency at scale. Showcasing success stories and case studies from the U.S. and around the world, Callahan demonstrated the economic, environmental, and security benefits of advancing programs, technologies, funding and infrastructure that promote efficient energy use.
Green Finance: Business Opportunities and Role of Financial InstitutionsADFIAP
1) The document discusses the role of development finance institutions (DFIs) in supporting low-carbon investment and green growth through mobilizing private funding and providing financing support such as guarantees, insurance, and co-financing.
2) It outlines Japan Bank for International Cooperation's (JBIC) efforts to develop a "Joint Crediting Mechanism" (J-MRV) to quantify greenhouse gas emission reductions from low-carbon investment projects and apply it to their due diligence and project finance processes.
3) JBIC aims for J-MRV to serve as an internationally accepted methodology and help scale up low-carbon investment while preparing for future carbon market mechanisms.
On December 14, 2009, the Alliance to Save Energy and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) held a side event at the COP15 climate conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, entitled, "Paradox to Paradigm: The Role of Energy Efficiency in Creating Low Carbon Economies."
A general overview on carbon tax and carbon trading describing it's mechanism and advantages and disadvantages. A summarization of their effects on economy and environment remarking the conclusion
This document summarizes the findings of a global report on green business investment. It finds that while governments have ambitious targets to reduce emissions, businesses are not moving fast enough to help meet these targets. Most companies do not monitor their energy use or carbon footprint. To increase green investment, governments need to implement more effective incentives like tax breaks. Smaller businesses in particular are investing less than larger ones. While developing countries like China and India are criticized, they are actually taking green measures more seriously than some Western nations. Overall, more action is needed from both governments and businesses to accelerate the transition to a green economy.
- Climate change presents risks and opportunities to investors through physical, technological, regulatory and social changes. Physical risks include more frequent extreme weather events. Technological risks include disruption from renewable energy and electric vehicles. Regulatory risks include tighter emissions standards. Social risks include changing consumer preferences.
- Meeting emissions reduction targets will require large investments in green infrastructure but current infrastructure spending is insufficient. Removing fossil fuel subsidies could save governments money while incentivizing green technologies.
- All investors should consider how to manage climate-related risks, exploit opportunities, and potentially have a positive impact through climate-aware investing strategies.

1.Fans Manufacture
★ Abandon the industry.
2.Wind Farm
★ Our suggestion for SK is
to cooperate with some
local state-owned power
groups to own a share in
the business.
3.Additive Market
★ SK could use the
opportunity to share the
Circum-Bohai-Sea market
with its high technology
level in battery field, sales

★ SK could use its technology
advantage to enter the field
along with the well-prepared
sales channels and sufficient
capital.
★ Another method SK could
use is to joint venture with
the local companies.
