  ZEW Discussion Paper - Regulated Correlations — Climate Policy and Investment Risks

  ly that price-based instruments, such as carbon-taxes, and quantity-based regulations, like emission trading systems, have distinct effects on the (co-)variance of power plant profits. If investors are [...] an electricity market model with stochastic demand and find that, compared to a carbon tax, emissions trading pushes up the share of fossil fuel assets in a representative investor’s portfolio since

  ZEW Discussion Paper - Assessing the Costs of Industrial Decarbonization

We find that a price of €85 per ton of carbon dioxide [...] ETS, incentivizes firms to reduce their annual direct emissions by about one-third relative to the status quo. Yet, this willingness to abate emissions increases sharply if carbon prices were to rise above [...] cal and operational changes firms would need to implement to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from current production processes.

  ZEW Discussion Paper - Cost-Efficient Decarbonization of Portland Cement Production

  substantial emission reductions. We calibrate our model with new industry data in the context of European cement plants that must obtain emission permits under the European Emissions Trading System. We [...] price levels to persist in the future, they would have incentives to reduce emissions by almost 80% relative to current emission levels. [...] Accounting for nearly 8% of global annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the cement industry is considered difficult to decarbonize. While a sizeable number of abatement levers for Portland cement production

Member States were [...] policy). We find that, even in countries with no stringent target, emissions from exposed firms tended to decrease more than emissions from non-exposed firms.

  ZEW Discussion Paper - The Demand for Voluntary Carbon Dioxide Removal – Experimental Evidence From an Afforestation Project in Germany

  mitigation efforts (including all emission sources and sinks, all GHGs, and all economic sectors) are becoming ever-more important. While established methods of direct emissions avoidance must continue to form [...] Additional survey data find that trust in forest measures is higher than mitigation through an emissions trading scheme, which could explain the comparably high WTP.

  ZEW policy brief - A Smart Design of New EU Emissions Trading Could Save 61 Per Cent of Mitigation Costs

  European Commission (EC). One important policy innovation would be the introduction of a second emissions trading system in Europe that integrates other sectors like buildings and road transport. This addresses [...] climate policy (without considering possible benefits from avoided climate change damages). A new emissions trading system reduces these costs by 21.5 per cent under the current allocation of the EU climate budget [...] European Commission. Larger cost reductions of up to 61.6 per cent are possible if an even larger emissions budget is allocated to the buildings and transport sectors. Given the difficulties to politically
