Samenvatting:
Tradeable emission permits can be a cost-effective way to achieveemission reductions between countries or firms. In this study, the role of
trading CO2 emission permits between the Annex I countries of the FCCC is
analysed. It is assumed that only countries are allowed to trade and that
there is a perfect market without transaction costs and strategic behaviour.
For several cases, the consequences for abatement costs, before and after
trade, the volume of permits traded and emissions per capita are studied.
Moreover, the gains from trade are determined. This study was undertaken
before the Kyoto conference, therefore as a starting point for the different
cases it was assumed that all countries should reduce their emissions with
10%. The cases studied are: a flat rate of 10% for each country; the
differentiated EU distribution combined with a 10% reduction for the other
OECD countries; and the so-called Triptych approach applied to all OECD
countries. Two trading systems are considered, one covering only the OECD
countries and one which also covers Middle and Eastern European countries (in
a simplified way). Furthermore, two extreme cases are studied for the OECD
trading scheme: equal costs (after trade) per unit of GNP and equal emission
per capita (before trade). Tradeable emission permits will considerably
reduce total costs compared with no trade by about 50%. The EU will
considerably reduce total costs compared with no trade by about 50%. The EU
will be a net exporter of permits in an OECD trading scheme (without Middle
and Eastern Europe), mainly because the low costs possibilities for reduction
of CO2 emissions in Germany and the United Kingdom. 13 refs
