  1. Information on NECD and Gothenburg Protocol revisions Eduard Dame DG Environment European Commission Energy & Environment

  2. Revision NECD Projections under Gothenburg Protocol Long term objectives Revision Gothenburg Protocol PRIMES baseline Items

  3. Revision NEC Directive will not be proposed by current College of Commissioners New College will decide how to proceed further Preparatory work could of use for revision of Gothenburg Protocol Items

  4. Horizon for emission projections in NEC Directive is 2010. No EU-legal basis for Member States to submit emission projections with a horizon beyond 2010. NECD Projections

  5. EB-decision 2008/16 Approves the decision by the EMEP Steering Body at its thirty-second session that, in addition to the (annual update of the) emission projections for 2010, 2015 and 2020 as specified in decision 2005/1, Parties within the geographical scope of EMEP shall also report their data on emission projections for 2030 and longer-term projections if available (for example, 2050), in view of the analysis of the links between air pollution and climate change GP/HM/POP Projections

  6. TFIAM - Workshop 5-6 March 2009 http://iiasa.ac.at/rains/meetings/Aspiration2050/Presentations.html WGSR 20 – 23 April 2009 invited relevant TF’s and EP’s to continue working on the issue of long term objectives. Result also interesting for future NECD-revision Long-term objectives

Revision Gothenburg Protocol

  9. PRIMES 2007 baseline was used for NECD-revision Work for PRIMES 2009 is ongoing Can be used for NECD revision and for Gothenburg Protocol (gap filling in national projections or replace national projections for EU-27) PRIMES baseline

  10. Process of consultation • 31 March 2009: meeting of MS energy economists to discuss major assumptions of new energy baseline • 25 April 2009: comments invited from MS experts on the major assumptions for their country • May-June 2009: • draft results (in terms of energy use) per MS available • Consultation with MS on country results • Finalization/publication results • (2007baseline://ec.europa.eu/dgs/energy_transport/figures/trends_2030_update_2007/energy_transport_trends_2030_update_2007_en.pdf) • July 2009 and beyond • Use of results for policy analysis

  11. Contents of consultation so far • Macroeconomic assumptions per country • GDP growth rates (lower than for 2007 baseline) • Population (higher than for 2007 baseline) • Valued added for 22 sectors (10 energy-intensive sectors) • (World) energy prices up to 2030 • Overview of major energy investments per MS (questionnaire): CCS, hydro, other RES, nuclear and infrastructure.

  12. Procedure • Consultation: input coordinated with MS and to be send to DGTREN (Mrs Livia Vasakova) • Ask Ger Klaassen (DGENV, C5): gerardus.klaassen@ec.europa.eu for list of energy economic experts for your MS to contact (in as far as not done already)
