  1. Danish Energy Industries Federation Annual Conference 30th April 2009 European climate changepolicy beyond 2012

  2. Terms of Reference The objectives of Task Force are: 1. To develop a long-term view about options for climate change policy in Europe; 2. To deliver long-term scenarios of GHG-emissions and abatement technologies including abatement costs and influence on energy prices; 3. To develop a view on the further development of the EU emissions trading scheme after 2012

  3. Members of the Task Force Study chair Stefan Ulreich (Germany) Czech Republic Mr. Tomáš Chmelík France Christine Faure-Fedigan Nicole Dellero Germany Christian Güthert Uwe Maassen Heimo Friede Hans-Wilhelm Schiffer Italy Federico Rossi Alessandro Clerici Francesca Massara Massimo Ceccariglia Netherlands Theo.

  4. General background Main sectors in EU-27: Energy supply and transport

  5. General background European share on global GHG-emissions

  6. General background Comparison of the electricity generation

  7. General background Key messages: • GHG emissions are globally still rising • Major contributor is the fossil fuel combustion,especially for electricity production. • Technological solutions are present, but need time until they will contributelargely to a further GHG reduction • Europe will be part of the solution mainlyin terms of clean technology development. • An effective combat against climate changeneeds a global solution. Europe can show the wayand demonstrate efforts, but other important regionsshould move and establish their pathways.

  8. General climate policy The COP/MOP negotiations

  9. General climate policy • Technological partnerships • Asia-Pacific Partnership • EU with India and China • CCS: CSLF (Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum), ZEP (European initiative on zero emission platform) • Nuclear: Generation IV initiative gathering 10 countries over 4 continents and INPRO

  10. General climate policy ETS around the world

  11. General climate policy • Key messages • Long negotiation process • Apart from the EU-27 other national and regional initiatives are present:Linking of the markets essential • Technology partnerships asfirst step to techology distribution

  12. Climate friendly technologies • Climate friendly technologies • Identify technologies • Abatement costs • Abatement volumes • Try to explore “unusual” solutions

  13. Climate friendly technologies • Demand side

  14. Climate friendly technologies • Supply side

  15. Climate friendly technologies • Key messages • There is a huge portfolio of technologies at demand and supply side that have the potential to reach deep cuts in GHG emissions; • Technology must be accompanied by life style changes; • All these technologies must be accessible without exclusion; • Electricity is the only energy vector that can be further decarbonised in the foreseeable future through a range of technologies and offers the prospect of low carbon road transport through the hybrid and electric vehicle and of contributing to low carbon heating through heat pump systems. • Technology diffusion will not come by itself, there is a need for a whole range of policy measures including education and information, providing a long term price signal for GHG emissions, efficiency standards, R&D, incentives and support schemes;

  16. Pathway to a climate friendly Europe • Pathway to a climate friendly Europe • needed investments • attractivity/risk of investments, • energy mix, • connected emissions, • costs for the public (Stern report),

  17. Pathway to a climate friendly Europe Mainly electricity sector and transport considered

  18. Conclusions & Recommendations • Conclusions and recommendations • We need a global price on CO2 emissions • We need more support for climate friendly technologies • Investments are key – longer horizons needed • Re-balancing necessary: Security of supply and Affordable energy

  19.
