“…This surplus was subsequently labeled "hot air" and could be traded cheaply. Some assessments even suggest that countries pursued strategies of complying through buying cheap hot air mainly from Poland, Romania, and the Czech Republic rather than conducting more expensive domestic mitigation actions (Shishlov et al, 2016;Martínez de Alegría et al, 2017). Under such circumstances, the economic incentive provided by ET for investments in relatively expensive BECCS-to comply with commitments or to generate a tradable AAUs surplus-was very low.…”

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is considered a key mitigation technology in most 1.5–2.0°C compatible climate change mitigation scenarios. Nonetheless, examples of BECCS deployment are lacking internationally. It is widely acknowledged that widespread implementation of this technology requires strong policy enablers, and that such enablers are currently non-existent. However, the literature lacks a more structured assessment of the “incentive gap” between scenarios with substantive BECCS deployment and existing policy enablers to effectuate BECCS deployment. Sweden, a country with progressive climate policies and particularly good preconditions for BECCS, constitutes a relevant locus for such examinations. The paper asks to what extent and how existing UN, EU, and Swedish climate policy instruments incentivize BECCS research, development, demonstration, and deployment in Sweden. The analysis is followed by a tentative discussion of needs for policy reform to improve the effectiveness of climate policy in delivering BECCS. Drawing on a tripartite typology of policy instruments (economic, regulatory, and informational) and the ability of these instruments to create supply-push or demand-pull, the article finds that: (1) no instruments create a demand-pull to cover operational expenditure; (2) economic instruments provide partial support for research and the capital expenditure associated with demonstration, and; (3) regulatory instruments provide partial clarity on environmental safeguards and responsibilities. A few regulatory barriers also continue to counteract deployment. The article concludes that the existing policy mix requires considerable reform if BECCS is to contribute substantially to the Swedish target for net-zero emissions. Continued effort to dismantle regulatory barriers must be complemented with a strong demand-pull instrument that complements the current focus on supply-push incentives. If unreformed, the existing policy mix will most likely lead to substantial public expenditure on BECCS research, development, and demonstration without leading to any substantial deployment and diffusion.

“…Perdagangan karbon sebagai dalih pembangunan masyarakat sekitar hutan masih belum memberikan manfaat yang optimal karena nilai jual karbon yang masih rendah. Pada saat ini nilai jual karbon hanya dihargai pada kisaran US$4,6-10 per ton karbon (Hamrick & Goldstein, 2016;Martínez de Alegría, Fernández-Sainz, Alvarez, Basañez, & del-Río, 2017). Nilai jual karbon yang rendah akan memberikan pilihan bagi pemilik karbon untuk menginvestasikan di bidang lain yang lebih menguntungkan.…”

“…Pada penelitian yang lain harga jual karbon antara US$26,41-27,39 per ton karbon (Clarke & Waschik, 2012). Nilai jual karbon ini jauh lebih tinggi apabila dibandingkan dengan nilai karbon yang berlaku saat ini yaitu pada kisaran US$4,6-10 per ton karbon (Hamrick & Goldstein, 2016;Martínez de Alegría et al, 2017). Bahkan, penelitian yang dilakukan Rahmat (2010) berdasarkan pendekatan pembuatan hutan tanaman industri, biaya break even dan penyerapan CO 2 hanya dihargai sebesar US$1,6 per ton CO 2 .…”

Currently, incentive payment of carbon mechanism has not yet provided significant economic benefit for community who live in the surrounding forest area as the carbon price is relatively low. Consequently, potential carbon owners are likely to invest conserved carbon biomass into other products that give more profitable economic value. This paper discusses the estimation of feasible carbon selling price of Sekaroh Protection Forest based on analysis of the forest economic value approach. This study was conducted using descriptive quantitative method based on primary data sources of the Afforestation/Reforestation (A/R) Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) implementation in 2010-2013 at Sekaroh. Research results showed that based on the calculation of annual economic value (AEV), the economic value is estimated about Rp73,394,816.00 per hectare per year at the interest rate of 5.75%. Hence, a reasonable carbon price based on the economic value is US$23 per ton carbon. This estimated value is significantly greater than the current prevailing carbon price that is US$4.6-10 per ton carbon. Higher reasonable carbon price will attract community around the forest to keep their biomass carbon stocks in the forest, so that future business of carbon trade mechanism can be more interesting and runs better.

“…In the last decades the dependence on fossil fuels has become critical due to several factors: the continuous growth of population, urbanization, depletion of oil reserves, continuous increase of oil price, global warming; the non-renewable fuels www.videleaf.com (coal, natural gas, coal) dependent industries have caused a dramatic increase of the greenhouse effect gases emissions and resulted in high levels of environmental pollution [1][2][3][4][5]. This crisis has stimulated the use of renewable energy resources like solar, wind and geothermal energy, biomass, agricultural wastes.…”

Concerns over the past decades have focused, more than ever, on finding and implementing efficient, handy, renewable sources to reduce pollution. Biomass, in general, and biomass from annual vine cuttings, are a renewable source that can be used by a large mass of the population. Biomass densification in the form of briquettes is an efficient method of obtaining a biofuel with the same characteristics as wood. The obtain of densified material as a briquettes consisted of sampling the vine cuttings, drying them naturally, chopping and grinding and briquetting. The obtained results showed that the size of the briquettes met the requirements imposed by the standard, having a length between 185 mm ... 400 mm and a diameter of 58 ± 0.75 mm, the humidity of the briquettes varying between 5.42%, at Sauvignon Blanc and 7.98% for Pinot Noir, while the durability of the briquettes registered minimum values of 98.17% for Muscat Ottonel and maximum of 99.14% for Fetească neagră, the bulk density having values between 658.04 kg /m 3 at Fetească albă and 756 kg/m 3 for Pinot noir. The conclusions of these experiments are promising, showing that the densification of biomass from vines cuttings qualify within the standard requirements for obtaining a valuable biofuel.
