Climate Technology Strategy within Competitive Energy Markets, for European Commission, DG XII
E3MLab acted as general co-ordinator of this large research project. The project analysed policy issues and assessed technologies related to the global warming problem. The project proposed policies and measures envisaged for the Kyoto CO2 reduction target and the 5th Framework programme for research and technology.
E3M-Lab designed a number of policy analysis cases and scenarios (1995-2030) using the energy model PRIMES and the macro-economic general equilibrium model GEM-E3 for all the member-states of the European Union.
Both volumes below provide a synthesis of the energy-related results of the project.

This volume provides an integrated analysis of the implications for the energy system from adapting to meet climate change targets and analysis the role of improving energy technologies for the world and the EU markets. The first part of the book sets the stage for the analysis by presenting the European and World economic and energy outlook. The second part examines the policy options available for controlling greenhouse gases in the period to 2010. Over such a relatively short period, the role of technology lies mostly in making possible the more efficient use of energy. Finally, the third part of the volume examines the longer term role of technology in the context of a case study for the power generation sector.

Climate change becomes more and more relevant in international environmental policy negotiations. At the Kyoto conference binding emission reduction targets have been established for several regions of the world. The major challenge is how to realize these reduction goals with minimum costs without generating new distributional and social difficulties. The book analyses the macroeconomic structural and distributional impacts of greenhouse gas mitigation strategies for the EU and the member states.
