Kyoto and technology at the European Union: costs of emission reduction under flexibility mechanisms and technology progress
This paper presents the analysis of the consequences of CO2 emission reduction policies, as derived, in a European Union perspective, from the Kyoto Protocol for the 2010 horizon. The first section provides a thorough assessment, based on the PRIMES model results, of the marginal and total costs of compliance to the Kyoto Protocol for a ‘no trading’ case and for two cases of emission trading, r...
متن کاملImplementing Kyoto-type Flexibility Mechanisms for India: Issues and Prospects
It has been argued in light of concessions made at Bonn and Marrakech, the market for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects will be small compared to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in developing countries and that it will be characterised by low demand and low prices. This paper examines these arguments in the context of India and the likely nature and extent of India’s involvement in CDM ...
متن کاملThe Costs of Kyoto for the US Economy
The high costs for the US economy of mitigating climate change have been cited by the Bush administration as one of the reasons for rejecting US ratification of the Kyoto Protocol. A range of cost estimates are assessed in the IPCC’s recent report (2001), but they are hedged with so many qualifications that it is not easy to reach useful conclusions. This paper organises some of the quantitativ...
متن کاملAssessing the Costs of Compliance: the Kyoto Protocol
After the political agreement at the Bonn climate talks, the Kyoto Protocol is now ready for ratification. Key policy questions surrounding the ultimate implementation of the Kyoto Protocol and any follow-up international agreement on climate protection require quantitative assessment, i.e. the use of analytical models that mimic the potential economic impacts of alternative emission reduction ...
متن کاملThe costs of the Kyoto Protocol in the European Union
We estimate reference CO2 emission projections in the European Union, and quantify the economic impacts of the Kyoto commitment on Member States. We consider the case where each EU member individually meets a CO2 emissions target, applying a country-wide cap and trade system to meet the target but without trade among countries. We use a version of the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysi...
