Abstract:
The InTraCert project aims to explore the possibility of integrating theexisting and planned Tradable Green Certificate (TGC) schemes in the European
Union and, therefore, creating a plausible unified market for TGCs.
Particular attention will be paid to the possibilities of integrating TGCs
for green electricity, heat and gas. Furthermore, it intents to examine the
possible interactions arising from such a system with more direct GHG
abatement measures, i.e. Carbon Emissions Trading (CET). The scope of the
InTraCert project requires specific information for EU-15 countries
regarding, on the one hand, Renewable Energy Sources (RES) used for
electricity, gas and heat generation and. on the other, GHG emission levels
and national strategies. In order to account for this information need.
specific country inventories have been designed and carried out by InTraCert
members in this first phase of the project. The inventory shows that Belgium,
Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden and the UK seriously want to
implement a TGC system. The systems will indeed be nationally oriented;
hardly any provisions for international trade in the different TGCs will be
put in place. An essential prerequisite for efficient cross border trade is
agreement on the carbon credit that comes with RE production. What is the
size of the carbon credit and will this credit be attached to the TGC while
traded? These will be the main questions to be answered in the next phase of
the InTraCert project. 8 refs.
