  • A Climate Solution Concept
    A Climate Solution Concept Jonathan Pershing, Ph.D. Robert Bradley A Climate Solution Concept by Jonathan Pershing, Ph.D. and Robert Bradley July 2005 A Climate Solution Concept Executive Summary While climate change is one of the most pressing problems facing the world, it is also proving to be one of the most intractable. Political, economic and cultural differences between countries have led to different policy choices. This paper examines several alternatives that might be considered as supplements to the evolving international, legally binding climate regime. In particular, this paper proposes sub-global options – and focuses particular attention on examples of these that might be promoted by a Climate Working Group established by the Group of Eight industrialized nations (G8) to include G8 member countries plus a number of key developing countries such as China, India and Brazil. Two categories are discussed: technology options and the evolution of emissions markets outside of the Kyoto framework. Within the technology arena, numerous alternatives might be worth concerted attention of a Climate Working Group. This paper evaluates three: • Cleaning up coal. Today’s coal-fired utilities largely employ a technology that makes capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the waste stream extremely difficult. Supporting the penetration of a new, although more expensive, technology – integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) – would allow significant reduction in these capture costs. Combined with the development of technologies to sequester carbon (still untested at commercial scales), a switch to this new technology could yield major CO2 savings: if all new coal fired power in the United States, China and India by 2030 were IGCC with carbon capture, nearly 900 million tons CO2 could be saved annually (or approximately 10 percent of these countries’ annual CO2 emissions from power generation).

  • Abatement Strategies and the Cost of Environmental Regulation: Emission Standards on the European Automobile Market Job Market Paper
    Abatement Strategies and the Cost of Environmental Regulation: Emission Standards on the European Automobile Market Job Market Paper Mathias Reynaert September 2014 Abstract Emission standards are one of the major policy tools to reduce green house gas emissions from transportation. The welfare e¤ects from this type of regulation are di¢ cult to evaluate as they depend on how …rms choose to comply. This paper studies the response of …rms to a new emission standard in the European car market using panel data covering 1998-2011. The data show that …rms choose to comply with the new regulation by heavily investing in new technology rather than adjusting the sales mix of their existing ‡eet. On average, vehicles are about 14% more CO2 e¢ cient in 2011 than in 2007. To evaluate the welfare e¤ects of this response I estimate a structural model using data from before the policy announcement and explicitly test how well the model is able to predict prices and sales after the large increase in fuel e¢ ciency. I …nd that, because the abatement is done by technology adoption, the regulation is bene…cial to both consumers and …rms, but has only moderate e¤ects on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions because of increases in total sales. If …rms had reacted by shifting relative prices of products with di¤erent fuel e¢ ciency the regulation would have resulted in large losses to consumer surplus and pro…ts but higher savings in emissions.

  • Comparison of Passenger Vehicle Fuel Economy and Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards Around the World
    COMPARISON OF PASSENGER VEHICLE FUEL ECONOMY AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION STANDARDS AROUND THE WORLD Prepared for the Pew Center on Global Climate Change Feng An ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGIES LLC Amanda Sauer WORLD RESOURCES INSTITUTE COMPARISON OF PASSENGER VEHICLE FUEL ECONOMY AND GHG EMISSION STANDARDS AROUND THE WORLD Prepared for the Pew Center on Global Climate Change Feng An ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGIES LLC Amanda Sauer WORLD RESOURCES INSTITUTE December 2004 The Pew Center and the authors would like to thank John DeCicco of Environmental Defense, Lew Fulton of the International Energy Agency, Paul Khanna of Natural Resources Canada, and Michael Walsh for their helpful comments on a previous draft of this report. Executive Summary Nine major regions around the world have implemented or proposed various fuel economy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards. Yet these standards are not easily comparable, due to differences in policy approaches, test drive cycles, and units of measurement. This paper develops a methodology to compare these programs to better understand their relative stringency. The results are summarized by Figure ES. Key findings from the report include: ¤ The European Union (EU) and Japan have the most stringent standards in the world. ¤ The fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission performance of the U.S. cars and light trucks—both historically and projected based on current policies—lags behind most other nations. The United States and Canada have the lowest standards in terms of fleet-average fuel economy rating, and they have the highest greenhouse gas emission rates based on the EU testing procedure. ¤ The new Chinese standards are more stringent than those in Australia, Canada, California, and the United States, but they are less stringent than those in the European Union and Japan.

  • Monitoring of ACEA's Commitment on CO2 Emission Reductions from New Passenger Cards, As Endorsed by the Commission's Recommendation 1999/125/EC
    Monitoring of ACEA’s commitment on CO2 Emission Reduction from Passenger Cars (1995-1999) Final version 10. 07. 2000 Joint Report of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association and the Commission Services Annex 1 Joint Monitoring by European Commission and ACEA of Environmental Agreement on CO2 Emission Reduction from Passenger Cars ES SUMMARY OF PROGRESS IN DELIVERING THE AGREEMENT E1 Trends in specific emissions of CO2 (g/km) (averaged over all newly registered passenger cars for the EU and for Member States: 1995-1999) On an EU-wide basis, ACEA's CO2 emissions have decreased steadily, achieving in total reductions of more than 6% over the reporting period. From a new car average of 186 g/km in 1995, ACEA's CO2 emissions reduced to 174 g/km in 1999. In each year since 1995 sizeable cuts have been achieved, culminating in a 2% reduction from 1998 to 1999. ACEA CO2 figures by fuel-type show that, between 1995 and 1999, new gasoline-fuelled cars reduced average CO2 emissions by 4.3%, and for diesels there was a reduction of 8.5%. This corresponds to respectively 180 g/km and 161 g/km in 1999. In 1998 and 1999, the market share of diesel cars showed some expansion, as technically- advanced new direct-injection (DI) diesels came to market. A short-term increase in the market share of diesel cars is in line with expectations. In broad terms, this EU performance was replicated in all the Member States (See Annex). Also at Member State- level, many markets showed greater interest in diesels as new direct injection models became available (see Annex).

  • The Automotive Industry and Climate Change
    The automotive industry and climate change Framework and dynamics of the CO2 (r)evolution ”Inventing is indefinitely more beautiful than having invented“ Karl Benz The automotive industry and climate change Foreword Framework and dynamics of the CO2 (r)evolution Foreword As we head towards the opening of the 2007 International Motor Show Cars (IAA) in Frankfurt, the CO2 discussion in the automotive industry is continuing at an intense pace. Climate change and CO2 reduction have garnered enormous quantities of press coverage in both industry and general media. As a result, we are witnessing today a heightened public awareness which is in turn stimulating strong consumer expectations for regulators and the automotive industry to address this top priority issue. Due to mounting public debate and regulatory pressures, we are currently seeing strong efforts and renewed investments by manufacturers and suppliers in providing solutions to the CO2 reduction challenge. As opposed to other environmental regulations affecting the auto industry, this time the solutions and strategies available are more complex and go far beyond the simple question of which is the most suitable engine technology. Both the auto industry’s response to a regulatory framework as well as its competitive positioning as a result of it, will depend on the nature of the detailed legislation itself. Environment protection groups are calling for greater legal enforcement and new, stricter laws, the EU and local governments are themselves considering a variety of regulatory measures, like CO2 emission limits or emission-based taxation. Responding to this, automakers emphasize the negative effects a proposed legislation might have and refer instead on technological improvements either already achieved or still upcoming.

    “P RIVATISING ” EU GOVERNANCE : EMERGENCE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF VOLUNTARY AGREEMENTS IN EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY by Katja Rottmann & Andrea Lenschow Osnabrück University Department of Social Sciences Seminarstraße 33 D- 49069 Osnabrück Contact details: Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Scientific Workshop “Soft Modes of Governance and the Private Sector”, Network of Excellence CONNEX: Research Group 6, Team 2, Darmstadt (1.-3. November 2005). This revised version was presented at the HIS in Vienna in November 2006. 1 I. Introduction Up to the present, environmental protection in the Community has mainly been based on a legislative approach (‘top-down’). The new strategy … implies the involvement of all economic and societal partners (‘bottom-up’) (Official Journal 1993: 17) The publication of the Fifth Environmental Action Programme in 1993 pointed to a new trend in EU environmental policymaking. This trend had its roots in two parallel debates (Lenschow, 1999). First, it followed a global debate on governance which responded to a loss of problem-solving capacities by central governments and argued both for the unburdening of state administrations and less hierarchical styles in “steering” the economy and society. Second, the international discourse on sustainable development established a more systemic understanding of the linkages between environmental protection and economic and social development, suggesting the need for more co- operative
