Embodied Carbon Tariffs
Embodied carbon tariffs tax the direct and indirect carbon emissions embodied in trade — an idea popularized by countries seeking to extend the reach of domestic carbon regulations. We investigate their effectiveness using simulations from an applied general equilibrium model of global trade and energy use. We find that the tariffs do reduce foreign emissions, but their ability to improve the g...
متن کاملThe Strategic Value of Embodied Carbon Tariffs
Unilateral carbon policies are inefficient due to the fact that they generally mean that abatement takes place in high-cost countries and because they are subject to carbon leakage. In this paper, we ask whether the use of carbon tariffs — tariffs on the carbon embodied in imported goods — might lower the cost of achieving a given reduction in world emissions. Specifically, we explore the role ...
متن کاملBuilding a Credible Carbon Offsets
Bradford Gentry opened the workshop by addressing the variability in prices that Yale encountered when it was shopping for renewable energy credits (RECs). What does it mean if one REC is priced at $38 per ton of CO2 equivalent while another one goes for $10/ton of CO2 equivalent, for example? Gentry suggested that the wide variety of green technologies available may account for this disparity,...
متن کاملEmbodied carbon budget accounting system for calculating carbon footprint of large hydropower project
Large hydropower project (LHP) is now the most important renewable and low-carbon source for electricity generation, carbon footprint calculation is crucial for it. We established an embodied carbon budget accounting system for LHP to calculate its actual carbon footprint. In additional to traditional carbon emission from plant construction, the accounting system included two new items in the c...
متن کاملProduct level embodied carbon flows in bilateral trade
a r t i c l e i n f o As increasingly complex modelling approaches to quantifying embodied carbon in trade have become popular, the lack of disaggregation has been identified as a key weakness. This paper quantifies embodied carbon in bilateral trade at the product level. This is done using the material balance approach, by collecting product carbon intensity factors from multiple data sources ...
