Border tax adjustment*

Stern 2006
In the next 10 to 20 years … transition ... to [a world] where carbon pricing is universal and is automatically factored into decision making. … avoids the risks of locking into a high-carbon infrastructure … additional measures may be justified to reduce the risks."
Objective: Investment security

Proposed approaches to create long-term stability
• Increased use of banking*• Open market intervention• Splitting allowances as under US clean air program• Longer commitment periods

Create long-term confidence in CO2 price to facilitate low Carbon investment
Karsten Neuhoff, 14
Option contracts could create long-term price floor
• Governments sell option contracts to private parties• Creates property right, strong enforceability• Investors can call an option:
– Hands in option + CO2 allowance
– receives strike price, e.g. 15 Euro/t CO2
• Direct hedge for investment
• Investors will call options if pCO2<15 Euro/tCO2
– Reduces supply, pushes up price, implements price floor
• Governments avoid buying back allowances– Restricts issuing allowances to retain scarcity price

What are the implications for renewables investment

(I) Commit to auctions of most allowances– Avoids delays in emission reductions (early action
problem)– Positive for distributional impacts, innovation, credibility
(II) Consider instruments to avoid low prices– Price uncertainty delays (low Carbon) investment– E.g. use price floor in auction, long-term option contracts
(III) Renewables policy
– For many technologies CO2 price alone too low
– In addition significant uncertainty about market design (congestion, balancing, CO2)
– Provide long-term stability (e.g. take or pay contracts)
Next steps for the European Emission Trading Scheme
