Improving the Clean Development Mechanism Post-2012: A Developing Country Perspective
In this article, we assess the future prospects of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) from the perspective of a developing country, drawing on Vietnam as a case study. First, we review the performance of the CDM and describe the evolution of carbon markets on the path towards a post-2012 climate regime. Next, we place Vietnam in a post-2012 context, and assess potential project resources, challenges, and opportunities that could arise for the country from a future climate policy framework. Our analysis suggests that the CDM should remain in place and be improved to facilitate more meaningful participation by developing countries in climate mitigation efforts beyond 2012. Finally, the article sets out eight proposals that could help improve the CDM as the world progresses towards a new international climate policy framework.

Crediting CO2 Sequestration – An Alternative Approach to Integrating CCS Into the EU ETS
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (1/2009)
European power supply is largely based on fossil energy resources. The combustion of fossil fuels releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide CO2), however, which in turn contributes to a great extent to the greenhouse effect and climate change. In order to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the energy sector and other energy-intensive industries, the European Community introduced an emissions trading scheme (EU ETS) on the European level based on the European Emissions Trading Directive 2008/87/EC.
Evaluating Links between Emissions Trading Schemes: An Analytical Framework
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (1/2009)
Emission trading systems (ETS) have been or will be implemented in more and more states and regions around the world. The objectives of such trading systems, however, can only be reached to full extend if a worldwide ETS comes into effect. Therefore, ETS are forced to join. Against that backdrop, linking of two or more ETS can be an important step towards a global ETS. This article examines whether differences between existing and planned ETS are obstacles for successful linking; to that end, it provides an analytical framework for discussion. It starts with an overview of the development of different ETS (I.), presents evaluation criteria for the assessment of linkages (II.), describes possible types of links (III.), categorises the basic decisions regarding the substantive requirements and scope of application of an ETS (IV.), and examines how different ETS designs affect the chances of a link (V.).
Offsets in The International Emissions Market: Do Buyers Get What They Pay For?
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (1/2009)
This paper analyses buyer preferences in the context of the market for emissions trading under the UNFCCC. The purpose of this paper is to investigate pricing of offsets (Certified Emissions Reductions or “CERs” under the UNFCCC) (through an empirical survey of two segments of the authorized CER buyer market) to understand the relationship between buyer preferences for CER carbon offsets in the context of wider policy debates surrounding the effectiveness of emissions trading markets.
Klimasünder sollen blechen - BMU legt Entwurf zum Allokationsplan für Emissionshandel vor
© Deutscher Fachverlag (DFV) (2/2004)
Die Diskussion um Verschmutzungsrechte geht in die nächste Runde. 2005 soll der Handel mit Emissionszertifikaten starten. Das BMU hat einen ersten Entwurf für den Nationalen Allokationsplan präsentiert. Bereits Ende März muss der EU-Komission ein vom Bundeskabinett verabschiedeter Entwurf vorliegen. Doch in den Regierungsreihen ist man sich längst nicht einig. Wirtschaftsminister Wolfgang Clement befürchtet eine Bedrohung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit durch die Zertifikate.
A Green Emerging Market: India’s Experiments with Market Based Mechanisms for Climate Mitigation
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (12/2012)
India is the fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. After Copenhagen in 2009, India announced that it will be working to reduce voluntarily the carbon intensity of its emissions by 20–25 % against 2005 levels by the year 2020, while maintaining a growth rate of 8 %. In 2011–2012, it introduced a number of innovative initiatives to help reach that goal. This paper will discuss three of these measures. Two of these schemes are market based initiatives in the field of energy: the first is called “Perform, Achieve and Trade” and is aimed at improved energy efficiency; the second scheme promotes increased use of renewable sources of energy through trade in renewable energy certificates. The third scheme is a pilot market based emissions trading mechanism that seeks to reduce the levels of particulate matter emissions in three leading industrial states in India.
