概述 | Design recommendations for the successor instrument to the NER 300 in Phase 4 of the EU ETSThe long-term transformation to a low-carbon economy requires innovation in technology and existing practices in all sectors of the economy. The Innovation Fund under the EU Emissions Trading System is meant to support such innovation projects in industry and energy. According to analysis by the Ecologic Institute, the IF should focus on break-through projects with a high additional emission reduction effect and provide adequate financing conditions that allow also for high risk projects to be supported. |
摘要 | class="field field-name-field-pub-title-additions field-type-text field-label-hidden"> Design recommendations for the successor instrument to the NER 300 in Phase 4 of the EU ETS The long-term transformation to a low-carbon economy requires innovation in technology and existing practices in all sectors of the economy. The Innovation Fund under the EU Emissions Trading System is meant to support such innovation projects in industry and energy. According to analysis by the Ecologic Institute, the IF should focus on break-through projects with a high additional emission reduction effect and provide adequate financing conditions that allow also for high risk projects to be supported. Upon request by the German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHSt) of the German Environment Agency (UBA), Ecologic Institute has analysed a range of options for designing the EU Innovation Fund (IF), a financing instrument created under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) to support technological breakthroughs in low-carbon innovations in the power sector and industry. The report combines a look at lessons learned from the IF's predecessor mechanism "NER 300" with insights from the respective emission reduction technology options in three key industry sectors (steel, cement, pulp & paper.) Based on a literature review as well as interviews, Ecologic Institute's authors conclude with recommendations for the IF's design. A funding instrument for low-carbon industrial technologies and processesIn July 2015, the European Commission presented its proposal for the fourth trading period (2021 - 2030) of the EU ETS. The IF is an instrument additional to the carbon pricing element of the EU ETS that aims to support the shift of the EU's power and industry sectors towards a low-carbon economy. The IF shall support demonstration projects of innovative technologies in the fields of carbon capture and storage (CCS), renewables and – in contrast to its predecessor, the so-called NER 300 – for the first time also low-carbon technologies and processes in industrial sectors. Although the ETS Directive has been adopted, the final form of the IF will be settled via a decision of the European Commission, which is still under development. The decision will establish the main design features, which will determine whether the IF can successfully attract private companies to invest in and implement innovative demonstration projects in the EU. This question is highly relevant for the energy-intensive industry in Europe. Recommendations for the design of the Innovation Fund
