PROJECT INFO
Combining efforts of an
international team of experts, the available Second Phase National
Allocation Plans are evaluated against detailed criteria.
Our objective is to facilitate easy
evaluation and comparison of Second
Phase NAPs. The information and data are extracted from
official
sources and documents,
and presented in the tables below.
The scope of analysis also
includes calculations of the volume of allowances allocated to a
standard sample power plant (existing and new entrant)
under each Second Phase NAPs.
DISCLAIMER: The tables in this file
are the result of an ongoing joint effort of an international group of
researchers and experts. Whilst caution has
been
taken on the accuracy of information contained inside tables, it should
be
emphasised that this is a work in progress.
CITATION: Please refer to working
paper
"Comparison of National Allocation Plans for the Period 2008-2012"
by Neuhoff et al. which
contains much of the core analysis
and policy implications arising from this comparative exercise.

Likely NAP IIs - analysis
following CEC decisions on Wed Nov 29th
The EU Commission announced on Wed 29th Nov, decisions
on ten second phase NAPs submitted by Member States. In the table
presented below (and in the Excel file) we apply the methodology of the commission,
as presented in their decision on the first 10 NAPs,
to all member states. If the same methodology is be applied
across
all Member States, then this would result in a 200 Mt/year reduction.

Quantification
of free-allocation:
To
illustrate the technology-distortions resulting from free-allocation,
we calculate
for each Member State, the allocation level (or "subsidy")
that
will be recieved by sample coal and gas power
stations. Both allocation to new and existing plants are
estimated. The table below illustrates that
in all Member States, fossil fuel generators receive
high subsidies in terms of free new entrant allocation.
Note: We
assume plans run for 6000h. We also assume 200MW
coal power station and
Combined Cycle Gas Turbine with efficiencies of 33%
(existing coal), 45%
(existing CCGT gas), 43% (new coal) and 55% (existing CCGT gas).
