Cap and trade: early action `bonuses` under the Lieberman-Warner Bill
Although it is likely to be several years before a national cap-and-trade program is up and running, there are good reasons for companies that would be subject to greenhouse gas emission caps to start taking inventory of their emissions. The authors note that under legislation pending in Congressespecially the Lieberman-Warner bill in the Senatesignificant opportunities exist for companies to ...

Greenhouse Gas Verification Programme
Greenhouse Gas verification programme in the aluminum industry 1. BUSINESS CHALLENGE Over the past decade, the aluminum companies operating in Quebec have voluntarily achieved significant reductions in their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2002, the Aluminum Association of Canada and the Government of Quebec signed a covenant to voluntarily reduce an additional 200,000 tons of GHG ...

EU emissions reduction strategy
The task To work with ECOFYS in the Netherlands and NTUA in Greece to identify ways to help the European Union reduce greenhouse gas emissions. How we helped Under the Kyoto Protocol, the European Union agreed that, by 2010, greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by 8% compared with 1990 levels. AEA Energy & Environment* was asked by the European Commission to identify how the ...

Greenhouse Gas Reductions from Demand-Side Management
This paper discusses greenhouse gas reductions gained through demand-side management programs. Demand-side management programs are designed to educate consumers to reduce energy consumption by improving energy efficiency and modifying energy use levels. These programs conducted by utilities result in decreased amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. However, utilities are often restricted from using ...

Understanding The Requirements of the Greenhouse Gas Inventory Verification
An introduction to the Greenhouse Gas Inventory specification requirements. It is a discussion about the structure of the ISO 14064 standard and the global application for GHG inventories and projects. This document provides an introduction to the Greenhouse Gas Inventory specification requirements. It is not intended to be a full explanation of the validation and verification standards, the ...

Abstract This paper discusses greenhouse gas reductions gained through demand-side management programs. Demand-side management programs are designed to educate consumers to reduce energy consumption by improving energy efficiency and modifying energy use levels. These programs conducted by utilities result in decreased amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. However, utilities are often ...

The nature of the right or interest created by a market for forest carbon
Increasingly, the global community is recognizing the need to engage the forest sector as a critical tool to mitigate global warming. A significant opportunity for this sector is the emerging global greenhouse gas emissions trading market. Yet, for forests to be included effectively in emissions trading markets, the nature of the legal rights in forestbased greenhouse gas reductions should be ...

The UK nuclear option
The UK faces the need to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. A decision has yet to be made to replace its currently retiring nuclear reactors with modern reactors, yet time is pressing if the UK is to meet its emission target and ensure security of its future energy supply.Keywords: nuclear power, nuclear energy, nuclear waste, nuclear economics, nuclear proliferation, UK energy policy, UK ...

Editorial: Policy and legislative architecture to deal with climate change and sustainable development in a post-Kyoto framework
This Editorial identifies challenges that need to be addressed post-Kyoto, which include the continuing debate between the developed nations and developing nations on the responsibility for climate change and the impacts mitigatory action would have on economic development. Despite the ongoing debate on who should be more responsible in leading the battle against climate change, the evidence ...

Environmental refugees, corrective justice and a system of compensation
Climate change threatens to create roughly 200 million environmental refugees by 2050. By the author's definition, these people will lack the goods required to live a minimally good human life and will be forced to cross international borders in search of resettlement and support. Given that climate change is deemed to be anthropogenic, this article responds to this prospective humanitarian ...

How to define additionality in relation to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions
Companies that have facilities which use refrigeration and air-conditioning systems or heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems have to measure changes which are imposed upon them due to greenhouse gas emissions. Additionality is a measure which compares the level of emissions prior to implementation with the levels after a greenhouse gas reduction project has been introduced. ...

Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections 2005
Projections show that the pre-2004 EU Member States (EU-15) could cut their total emissions to 9.3% below 1990 levels by 2010 with a combination of existing domestic policies and measures already implemented, additional policies and measures currently being planned and the use of credits from emissions-saving projects in third countries through the Kyoto Protocol's 'flexible mechanisms'. Thus the ...

Intertemporal social choice and climate stabilization
This paper examines the implications of alternative approaches to intertemporal social choice in a numerically calibrated model of interactions between global climate change and the world economy. Under cost-benefit analysis, relatively modest steps towards greenhouse gas emissions abatement are justified as economically efficient. Under classical utilitarianism and the precautionary principle, ...
