“…Physical efficiency and economic intensity do not limit the total compliance costs in the case of unexpected growth, but due to the nature of the target (total allowable energy use or emissions are conditional on the activity), compliance costs do not increase as fast as is the case with volume targets, thereby reducing the uncertainty. The reduced uncertainty of costs associated with intensity targets may lead to the adoption of more stringent targets (Van Vuuren et al, 2002). Physical efficiency targets and economic intensity targets are less flexible in combination with 12 There are several restricted methods for benchmarking the energy efficiency.…”

“…Up to 2010, both profiles incorporate the implementation of the Annex I Kyoto targets for Canada, Japan and Western and Eastern Europe, and an optimal level of banking of excess emissions by the FSU. The USA follows the Bush plan (emission intensity target), but this leads to emissions which do not significantly differ from their baseline values [78]. The Annex I region, Oceania (including Australia), and the non-Annex I regions are assumed to follow their baseline emissions.…”

“…The model has also been used to evaluate the Kyoto Protocol under the Bonn and Marrakesh agreements in terms of environmental effectiveness and costs [27,28,53], the Bush Climate Change Initiative [78] and the Brazilian Proposal [26,32,34]. The model was also used to support dialogues between scientists, NGOs and policy makers (e.g., [7]).…”

This article describes the policy decision-support tool, FAIR, to assess the environmental and abatement costs implications of international regimes for differentiation of future commitments. The model links long-term climate targets and global reduction objectives with regional emission allowances and abatement costs, accounting for the Kyoto Mechanisms used. FAIR consists of three sub-models: a simple climate model, an emission-allocation model and a cost model. The article also analyses ten different rule-based emission allocation schemes for two long-term concentration stabilisation targets for greenhouse gases. This analysis shows that evaluating regimes requires not only an assessment of the initial allocation, but also of the distribution of abatement costs and the impacts from emissions trading. The Multi-Stage approach (with a gradual increase of Parties adopting emission intensity or reductions targets) and the Triptych approach (with sectoral targets for all Parties) seem to provide the best prospects for most of the Parties when compared to the other allocation schemes analysed.

“…A chamada Iniciativa Bush é baseada na premissa de que o crescimento econômico não é a causa, e sim a solução do problema da mudança no clima, porque ele faz com que seja possível separar os recursos de produção das emissões de GHG. Ao contrário das metas quantitativas estabelecidas no Protocolo de Quioto, a Iniciativa Bush aponta para uma redução da intensidade de GHG, ou seja da quantidade de GHG emitido por dólar do PIB (van Vuuren et al, 2002).…”

ResumoEste trabalho quantifica as emissões de CO2 decorrentes do uso energético de gás natural, álcool e derivados de petróleo em seis regiões brasileiras e avalia os impactos de eventuais políticas de controle de emissões. Também mostra para as seis regiões estudadas a ligação entre o nível de atividade e as emissões de CO2, detalhando para cada um dos energéticos considerados a parcela das emissões totais em razão da demanda final, do consumo interindustrial e do consumo das famílias. Também são realizadas simulações para avaliar os efeitos de uma eventual restrição de emissões sobre os vários setores da economia, bem como os efeitos de um imposto sobre emissões. Abstract This study quantifies CO2 emissions caused by consumption of natural gas, alcohol and petroleum derivatives for six Brazilian regions, and evaluates the impact of possible policies for emission control. The connection between the level of activity and CO2 emissions for each energy input is presented for the six regions considered, detailing the portion of the total emissions caused by final demand, inter-industry consumption and household consumption.The model was also used to make simulations in order to evaluate the economic effects of a hypothetical restriction on emissions and the effects that an emission tax would cause.
