  • Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
    Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted.

    The UK’s National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. 13 December 2011 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission - December 2011 1. UK’s National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System This document sets out the levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). The allocations have been determined in accordance with EU harmonised rules, using data provided from operators of EU ETS Phase III installations in 2010/11. The allocations are not final at this stage until the European Commission accepts the UK’s NIMs and those from other EU Member States. Territorial extent 1. Policy responsibility for emissions trading lies with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), together with the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government, and the Northern Irish Executive. References to the government in this document also cover the Devolved Administrations. Background 2. Article 11 of the revised EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) Directive requires Member States to publish and submit a list of all installations to be included in Phase III of the EU ETS. This list should set out any free allocation that will be granted to installations throughout the phase. 3. Unlike in Phases I and II of the EU ETS, free allocation for Phase III is determined in accordance with EU-harmonised rules.

Without his help, this journey would have become impassable. His endless supports and encouragements throughout the course of this study are appreciable. His generosity, easy- going personality, and strong management skills make him not only perfect as an adviser, but someone who can act as a role-model for the future life. The way he looks at the life is fantastic. I truly believe that this dissertation would not have been possible without his help and support. I would like to thank my co-advisor, Professor Akula Venkatram for his perpetual helps and supports and for serving on my committee. His infinite knowledge in the field of air quality modeling is valuable and I truly believe without his comments, and extraordinary ideas, this dissertation could not reach to the desired quality. I would like to thank Prof. Venkatram, for always having an open door to questions that led to significant improvements of the dissertation. I owe my intense interest to this field to him. I would like to thank Professor Guillermo Aguilar for serving on my committee and being my teaching assistant advisor for spring 2009.
