CE Delft studies on the EU ETS
On Thursday, 2 December Sander de Bruyn gave a guest lecture at the Erasmus School of Economics entitled Emission rights and climate change. The (English-language) sheets for this lecture can be downloaded HERE.
Read the April 2010 report:
Does the energy intensive industry obtain windfall profits through the EU ETS?
Following its publication, a group of energy-intensive European industries commissioned Nera to conduct a review of the study. This review is posted on the Eurofer website, among other places. This led CE Delft to prepare a brief report discussing Nera’s findings: CE Delft response to Nera critique.
On November 8 the minister of Economic Affairs responded (in Dutch) to parliamentary questions about the CE Delft study). The Dutch-language newsletter Nieuwsbrief Emissiehandel of 28 October looks at the Nera review and CE Delft’s response.
Follow-up study on EU ETS Phase 3, 2013
In October 2010 a follow-up study was published entitled:
Will the energy-intensive industry profit from EU ETS under Phase 3? Impacts of EU ETS on profits, competitiveness and innovation.
In June 2010 a report was completed for the Netherlands’ Finance ministry entitled:
EU ETS cost allocation. Who will be paying the costs of Phase 3 of the European Emissions Trading Scheme? This study explains the size of these costs, answers the question of who will be ultimately be paying them, and sets out the overall income effects for industry, consumers and government.
A study by CE Delft for CAN-Europe – Technological developments in Europe, A long-term view of CO2 efficient manufacturing in the European region – shows that innovation and new developments in the European steel, cement and paper industries can potentially lead to a 80-95% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050.
Much of this research has been carried out by CE Delft’s Environmental Economics coordinator, Sander de Bruyn.
