NEW CITY OF LONDON / CEAG REPORT OCTOBER 2008

UK EMISSIONS POLICY OPTIONS

Published by the city of London, this CEAG paper sets the context and describes the opportunities for London arising from market developments in emissions trading and the related emerging climate markets. In this report, the current stages of development of the international Kyoto-based emissions market, the mandatory regional and national markets around the world, and the international voluntary market, are reviewed. An assessment is made of the contribution of the different asset classes of allowances that are trading in the market, their relative values and how they are linked. The transaction log and registry system that controls the international transfer of emissions allowances is described, and a method proposed whereby the UK registry could be adapted to overcome the limitations of this system to facilitate international trade conducted through the UK. Finally, the paper looks ahead to consider the range of likely outcomes of the negotiations on a new Kyoto deal post-2012 and the UK's role in these discussions and suggests a framework whereby complementary policies of the Greater London Authority and the City of London could be coordinated with UK national climate change policy.

'BRENT: A USER'S GUIDE TO THE FUTURE MARKET' OUT NOW

This new study looks at the physical commodity underpinning the Brent market out to 2012 and explains the far-reaching implications for international prices and contracts. It examines the substantial changes to the ownership of Brent, Forties, Oseberg and Ekofisk and the unfolding production and quality issues that have led to the introduction of 21-Day BFOE and the possible need to remove Forties from the contract.

'EMISSIONS TRADING AND THE CITY OF LONDON' AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD FREE OF CHARGE

CEAG's report 'Emissions Trading and the City of London' was commissioned and financed by the City of London Corporation.

This report does three things
1. It explains the evolution and current status of international emissions legislation and emissions trading issues - both the Kyoto Protocol and the alternative US-led Asia Pacific Partnership.
2. It offers a generic template providing a comprehensive fungible method of compliance amongst a range of green schemes for use by any international, national, state or regional authority irrespective of whether or not the authority is a signatory of Kyoto. The template is based on the use of an existing tradable compliance instrument, the European Emissions Allowance ("EUA").
3. It outlines a retail emissions scheme that would bring the general public into direct individual contact with the costs and benefits of their personal carbon impact or "footprint".

The programme would provide for compliance by households with local environmental policies by the buying and selling of EUA's in a new retail sector.

RECENT CEAG ARTICLES

The most recent articles published by CEAG consultants on topical subjects:

Liz Bossley of CEAG explains how Emissions trading is here to stay - Energy Institute, Yearbook and Directory 2009
After years of planning and discussion, the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol - 2008 to 2012 - is at last underway and, despite acrimonious international debate about its future, the cap-and-trade schemes it has spawned are not going to go away. (Energy Institute, Yearbook and Directory 2009). Click here for full article

Liz Bossley of CEAG explains how investors can get involved in emissions trading - Clean, Green, Money Machine - S&I Review dated September 2008
The market in CO2 emissions is growing exponentially. From zero in 2003, the measurable market is expected to turn over more than €40 billion this year. Admittedly, compared with the bond market, for example, this is unimpressive, but the growth potential is exciting. (S&I Review, September 2008). Click here for full article

Garnaut stance threatens climate talks - The Australian dated 4 August 2008
GLOBAL climate change negotiations will collapse in the same way the Doha trade talks failed last week if Ross Garnaut's view that there is no way forward without China and India is adopted, European emissions trading expert Liz Bossley has warned.
