دانلود کتاب Emissions Trading and Competitiveness Allocations, Incentives and Industrial Competitiveness under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme

** Tightening of CO2 emission allocations in the EU may mean big bills for industries affected–what impacts will this have on their competitiveness? ** Leading experts analyze the consequences on competitiveness and profitability for a range of industrial sectors and the responses available to them ** First ever in-depth study of this critical dimension of carbon emissions trading schemes This special issue of the Climate Policy journal examines the impacts on the competitiveness and the commercial incentives available from the CO2 allowance allocations under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, and discusses appropriate allocation methodologies, and whether–and if so at what stage–the ETS itself may need to be amended. The study is multidisciplinary, combining economic, legal and policy analysis with specific studies of impacts on electricity, cement and other industrial sectors and allocation issues. It brings together the results of research conducted over the past two years from various research centers and consultancies in Europe, and in particular work commissioned by the Carbon Trust and Climate Strategies Network. Through these, it presents the most comprehensive and detailed set of analyses of allocation and competitiveness yet conducted. Lead authors include: Damien Demailly, Michael Grubb, Angus Johnston, Karsten Neuhoff, Jos Sijm and Robin Smale.
