Global carbon trade rose 80 pct last year: The European Parliament next week will set stricter rules for airlines entering Europe's emissions trading scheme, establishing an earlier start date and tighter pollution limits than first proposed, a lawmaker said.
Brussels gets tough on CO2 emissions Tougher limits on carbon emissions were set on Friday by the European Commission in an effort to strengthen its efforts to combat climate change. Voluntary, then mandatory path for CO2 scheme-Japan Japan wants to impose mandatory caps on industrial emissions of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, and plans to expand a voluntary scheme as a first step, its Environment Minister said on Friday.
Japan to Study Carbon Trading for Companies - Report Japan is set to start discussions on letting private companies buy and sell greenhouse gas emissions credits, the Yomiuri Shimbun daily said on Sunday. Kyoto mechanism to boost green investment The Kyoto Protocol? Australia to launch carbon trading scheme by Australian Prime Minister John Howard pledged on Sunday to establish a national carbon trading scheme by to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions, calling it the most momentous economic challenge of our time. EU governments seek new design for CO2 trade schemeEuropean Union nations are moving closer to redesigning the bloc's emissions trading scheme to force industry to pay more to emit carbon dioxide and hand Brussels greater authority to set EU-wide emissions caps.
EU Carbon Data Show Emission Targets Too Lax The European Union handed out too many free emissions permits to heavy industry in , undermining the first phase of the bloc's flagship weapon against climate change, preliminary data showed on Monday. California Eyes Joining EU Emissions Trading Scheme California hopes to link its planned emissions trading system to the European Union's market, boosting efforts to build a global mechanism to fight climate change, aides to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Thursday.
Miliband plans carbon trading 'credit cards' for everyone Every citizen would be issued with a carbon "credit card" - to be swiped every time they bought petrol, paid an energy utility bill or booked an airline ticket - under a nationwide carbon rationing scheme that could come into operation within five years, according to a feasibility study commissioned by the environment secretary, David Miliband, and published today.
Commission decides on first set of national allocation plans for the trading period The European Commission has today confirmed its strong commitment to ensuring that the EU and Member States achieve their greenhouse gas emission targets under the Kyoto Protocol. In deciding on the first 10 national plans for allocating CO2 emission allowances to energy-intensive industrial plants for the trading period under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme EU ETS , the Commission reduced the allowances by almost 7 per cent below the emissions proposed by the national allocation plans and 7 per cent below the emissions.
EU says governments asking to cap CO2 emissions above actual levels The EU's top environment official said Monday that most EU governments are asking to cap carbon dioxide emissions above last year's level? EU moots plans to include airlines in carbon emissions trading scheme The European Commission will soon put forward plans to include airlines in its carbon emissions trading scheme, an EU official said Thursday.
Single EU-wide emissions cap proposed for post The third phase of the European Emissions Trading Scheme ETS could see a single cap on carbon dioxide emissions set for all Europe, rather than 27 country-by-country targets. UK among 11 to miss emission targets deadline The EU's ambitious greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme ETS is in further disarray as 11 of its 25 governments, including Britain, face warnings of legal action from the European commission for failing to meet last Friday's deadline for submitting their plans to cut carbon dioxide between and Europe's emissions trading is a model for the world The ETS marks a paradigm shift in European environmental policies - engaging with the private sector in searching for the most cost-effective solutions to a global problem by Stavros Dimas, European commissioner for the environment.
EU set low targets on greenhouse gases The European Commission has acknowledged that member states of the European Union gave companies far too generous targets for greenhouse gas emissions last year, raising questions about the Continent's ability to meet its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol and creating chaos in Europe's embryonic market in trading emissions credits. Climate affecting CO2 emissions from the incineration process could only be reduced by waste containing less carbon.
Hence, the reduction potential of direct CO2 emissions in waste incineration plants is limited. Beside the increasing connection to public district heating systems, heat recovery for drying sludge or wood could be a sensible technical concept in order to ensure efficient energy generation with those fuels with higher water content. Although a lot of technical energy efficiency measures have been conducted in waste incineration plants in the past, GHG emissions could be reduced by 2.
The energy efficiency measures considered have been categorised by their reduction potential and their need for realisation. Based on available data, the following measures show the highest potential: Continuous emissions metering systems are available on the market and can provide reliable data for CO2 emissions.
But only the total amount of CO2 emissions can be measured.
The share of climate affecting and climate neutral CO2 emissions cannot be determined by those measurements. Hence, the evaluation of climate affecting CO2 emissions which are relevant for an emissions trading scheme can not be conducted with reasonable costs and effort.
Hence, an installation specific evaluation of the biogen share of waste by regular samplings and analyses of the heating value would be necessary. Since waste is a very inhomogenous fuel, ensuring representative data through monitoring and sampling would be a very ambitious procedure. Because of the waste disposal law in Germany and the dependancy on treated waste amounts and waste compositions, positive and negative financial effects of a free allocation of certificates can occur which cannot be influenced by the operator.
If free allocation shall be continued in further trading periods, a specific solution for waste incineration plants must be implemented that considers the waste disposal law. This would lead to specific allocation procedures for waste incineration plants implemented inthe European Monitoring and Reporting Regulation.
The reduction potentials of direct CO2 emissions in waste incineration plants are limited. CO2 emission reductions can only be realised by substituting the fossil energy used for the technical processes. Those reduction potentials are nearly exhausted in German waste incineration plants. Hence, in case of including waste incineration plants in the European Emissions Trading Scheme, operators may not be able to fulfil emission reductions as defined by the European Monitoring and Reporting Regulation.
Even if the legislator created exceptions of the yearlyreduction obligations for waste incineration plants deficits of certificates could occur because of the development of waste amounts. Since no credits, that is additional certificates free of charge, can be received for the substituted energy, the current European Emissions Trading Scheme does not deal with the relevant processes in waste incineration plants effectively and does not stimulate emissions reduction measures.
If the energy efficiency of waste incineration plants increases, less energy is needed for the installation itself.
