carbon dioxide emissions vs. allocation rights: spanish case analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
the market for carbon dioxide rights emerged as one of the tools applicable to the implementation of the measures adopted by the kyoto protocol to combat climate change. in this paper we analyze the case of spain, because their peculiar administrative division into seventeen autonomous communities, it is relevant to a detailed study of emissions and allowances of the industries that make up the different regions for the period between 2005 and 2009. allowing us to test the efficiency and compliance with the requirements and conditions prescribed in the regulations for each one of those territorial units. statistical analysis shows significant differences found between emissions and allocations for several regions.

Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions
DEBATE ABOUT the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, and fears that it will result in an intensification of the Greenhouse Effect and global warming, have spurred consideration of sustainable development. It has been claimed that technology to improve energy efficiency already exists that is cost-effective without consideration of the gains from abatement of carb...
متن کاملSequestration of Carbon Dioxide Emissions
Background The world's oceans represent the largest potential sink for the carbon dioxide (CO 2) produced by human activities (anthropogenic CO 2). Already oceans contain the equivalent of an estimated 140,000 gigatons of CO 2. The ocean's natural carbon transfer processes span of thousands of years and will eventually transfer 80-90 percent of today's man-made CO 2 emissions to the deep ocean....
متن کاملAccounting for Carbon Dioxide Emissions
It is an adage of accounting to monitor what you can measure but there is concern that some elements can potentially be very important yet very difficult to evaluate. There are now many who care about accounting for CO2 emissions: from scientists interested in the global carbon cycle to environmentalists concerned about global climate change, regulators overseeing international or subnational a...
متن کاملThe Kenya Case of Multivariate Causality of Carbon Dioxide Emissions
In this study, an attempt was made to investigate the Kenya case of multivariate causality of carbon dioxide emissions by employing a time series data spanning from 1961-2011 using the ARDL method of cointegration analysis. The long-run elasticities show that, a 1% increase in financial development increases carbon dioxide emissions by 0.28%, a 1% increase in GDP per capita increases carbon dio...
متن کاملMarginal Abatement Costs of Carbon-Dioxide Emissions: A Meta-Analysis
In this paper we carry out a meta-analysis of recent studies into the costs of greenhouse gas mitigation policies that aim at the long-term stabilization of these gases in the atmosphere. We find the cost estimates of the studies to be sensitive to the level of the stabilization target, the assumed emissions baseline, intertemporal optimisation, the choice of control variable (CO2 only versus m...
