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 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 ...

Legal developments related to greenhouse gas emissions
The prospects for new regulations on greenhouse gas emissions have evolved from a possibility to an inevitability, according to the authors of this article. They say the greatest potential for new regulations on greenhouse gas emissions is emerging from existing laws--most particularly, the Clean Air Act. The authors, noting that state regulatory efforts and successes in the courts have set the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Measuring Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Recent reports on the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions have shown that CO2 levels within the atmosphere are steadily rising. The UN has consistently promoted the use of renewable energies for the control of atmospheric conditions. These need to be steadily monitored and in order to do so it is essential that cheap, robust, and accurate sensors are available for the acquisition of reliable ...
