- CO2 Emission Trends and Reduction Opportunities in Transport, Households and Commercial Sectors
- This paper looks at existing and potential domestic energy policies and measures that can contribute to fill the gap between the targets set in the Kyoto Protocol and the present trends in CO2 emissions. The paper examines historical trends in carbon emissions and projects these trends for several countries. Building...

- The IEA Energy Indicators: Analyzing Emissions on the Road From Kyoto
- Since 1995, the International Energy Agency has been developing sets of "Energy Indicators". Indicators are derived from basic data on the structure of economic and human activity, combined with measurements or estimates of the energy used for those activities. They link energy use to economic and human activity. The goal...

- The Commitment Period Reserve
- Emission trading as envisioned under Article 17 of the Kyoto Protocol seeks to establish a market price for GHG emission reductions among industrialized country. The commitment period reserve minimizes the risk of overselling by setting aside a portion of Parties' assigned amount in a reserve. This paper describes and assesses...

- Fast-Tracking Small CDM Projects: Implications for the Electricity Sector
- This paper outlines possible elements of a fast-tracking procedure, analyses the potential environmental impact that this could have, and explores the economic consequences for small electricity generation projects, focusing on renewable. The Clean Development Mechanism CDM allows project developers to earn certified emission reductions credits CERs for projects that reduce...

- Towards International Emissions Trading: Design Implications for Linkages
- There are a number of benefits to linking emissions trading schemes, including enhanced abatement options, market liquidity, and reduced compliance costs. This paper discusses how GHG trading schemes with different design options may be linked in order to take advantage of these benefits; possible barriers to linking; and solutions. It...

- Uncertainties in Relation to CO2 Capture and Sequestration: Preliminary Results
- This paper has been presented at an expert meeting on CO2 capture technology learning at the IEA headquarters, January 24th 2003. The electricity sector is a key source of CO2 emissions and a strong increase of emissions is forecast in a business-as-usual scenario. A range of strategies has been proposed...

- Control and Minimization of Coal-Fired Power Plant Emissions
- In this paper, coal's on-going role underlines the importance of improving the efficiency of coalfired power plants and the minimization of their environmental impacts, for both economic and environmental reasons. A number of pollutants emitted from coalfired power plants require consideration, although effective means for their control already exist in...

- Emissions Trading and Its Possible Impacts on Investment Decisions in the Power Sector
- The purpose of this study is to explore how investment decisions in the power generation sector may be modified with the introduction of CO2 emission allowances. To do so, it considers, through a simplified quantitative analysis, power plant costs, and operation and investment changes in the electricity generation over both...

- Beyond Kyoto: Ideas for the Future
- This paper focuses on Kyoto Protocol. Governments must act now to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Even if the Kyoto Protocol enters into force - and this is by no means assured - it would only control about one third of global emissions at best. Clearly, action needs to be taken,...

- Emissions Trading: Taking Stock and Looking Forward
- Emissions trading or, more generally tradable permit systems, have already been used to deal with various environmental or resource problems since the 1970s, notably air pollution, fisheries, water management, waste management and land-use. Emissions trading have been considered as a possible tool for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions since the early...

- Industrial Competitiveness Under the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme
- The EU ETS is embedded in the broader regime created by the Kyoto Protocol, but it applies only to a subset of countries whose industry, in some cases, competes with producers whose emissions are not limited. This step has triggered a debate among industrialists on how much the EU ETS...

- IEA Shoutout: Nukes, Renewables, Energy Efficiency Key to Climate Change Battle
- The world -- in the eyes of the International Energy Agency -- cannot resume its trip down the same fossil fuel path. Instead, the Paris-based agency, which released Tuesday its 2009 World Energy Outlook, called for a profound change within the energy sector and a global agreement to limit...

- AIR POLLUTION: IEA HOPES FOR PUBLIC-SPIRITED APPROACH TO CO2 EMISSION CUTS
- Summary: A conference on voluntary approaches to reducing energy-related CO2 emissions was held by the International Energy Agency IEA in Bonn on October 30-31. Many OECD countries take a voluntary approach to CO2 reduction and the aim of the conference was to compare and contrast the...

- Emission Trading: A Real Time Simulation
- In June-July 2000, delegates from seventeen Parties to the UNFCCC explored the development of an international emission-trading regime in a simulation organized by the International Energy Agency. Participants included IEA member countries, countries with economies in transition and several private sector stakeholders that played the role of domestic companies engaged...

- Challenges in Energy and Environment Modelling: A Materials Perspective
- This paper discusses the IEA ETP model and the challenges that are encountered in energy and materials modeling. A case study on carbon leakage is discussed in order to illustrate these challenges. The preliminary results suggest that industrial CO2 emission mitigation policies are complicated by carbon leakage. However, this leakage...

- CO2 Capture at Power Stations and Other Major Point Sources
- Recognizing the potential of CO2 capture and storage technologies, the IEA's Working Party on Fossil Fuels2 WPFF launched its strategy for Zero Emissions Technologies ZETs in 2001. With this concept, almost all conventional pollutants produced by the burning of fossil fuels are eliminated and CO2 is captured and stored, thus...
