  3. Could non-ETS projects benefit from ETS market price? • Yes, that’spossible via the LinkingDirective and JI, butMemberStatesneed to decideonthisthemselves • Up to 2012: domestic, non-ETSoffsets = JI • > 2012: projectsunderArticle 24a, next to JI and undersupervision of EuropeanCommission and/orMemberStates? Round Table Art. 24a - 1 March 2010

  4. Non-ETS offsets: How does it work? Round Table Art. 24a - 1 March 2010

  5. Advantages Non-ETS offsets • ‘Polluter pays’ via market mechanism • Supports development of low-emission technologies • Complementory to subsidies, taxes, standards (EPC) • Improved GHG registration in non-ETS sectors • Possible positive sum game • Post-2012: climate and energy targets • Longer time horizon (ETS phase III and beyond) Round Table Art. 24a - 1 March 2010

  6. €/ m3 cost/m3 Gas price + price CO2 / m3 Gas price /m3 Time of technology implementation Round Table Art. 24a - 1 March 2010

  7. Example: combination with subsidy Round Table Art. 24a - 1 March 2010

  8. Potential disadvantages non-ETSoffsets • Requires GHG accounting procedures • Administration costs • Zero Sum game (at least directly) • Traded credits/AAUs cannot be used for other policy measures • Risk of double counting Round Table Art. 24a - 1 March 2010

  9. DO scheme comparison Round Table Art. 24a - 1 March 2010

  12. Round Table Art. 24a - 1 March 2010

  13. Characteristics non-ETS offsets in post-2012 context? • Work for climate and energy targets • Technology choice determined by market • Focus on non-ETS sectors where offsets could complement existing policy measures • Bundle small-scale activities Round Table Art. 24a - 1 March 2010
