The IEA has released two new Information Papers: The European Refinery Industry under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme This study analyses the impacts of the EU ETS on the European refinery sector. It assesses short- to medium-term impacts of a carbon cost introduced by emissions trading, from the standpoint of international cost competitiveness and profitability, looking at a range of representative refinery configurations in three European regions. The paper is available on the IEA website at: http://www.iea.org/Textbase/Papers/2005/IEA_Refinery_Study.pdf
Deploying Climate-friendly Technologies through Collaboration with Developing Countries This study investigates whether extending the geographic scope of OECD countries' investments for the deployment of climate-friendly technology to more promising locations in developing countries could increase deployment, enhance learning, and ultimately accelerate technology cost reductions. The paper is available on the IEA website at: http://www.iea.org/Textbase/Papers/2005/Climate_Friendly_Tech.pdf These papers as well as other IEA studies will be presented during the IEA side-event at COP/MOP 1 in Montreal, Tuesday 6 December, from 1 pm to 3 pm. --- You are currently subscribed to climate-l as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Subscribe to IISD Reporting Services' free newsletters and lists for environment and sustainable development policy professionals at http://www.iisd.ca/email/subscribe.htm
