Vita certifikat (webinarium 21 september)

Ämnet har varit på tapeten ett bra tag men nu verkar det som om även Sverige skulle kunna få sådana. Det finns gott om erfarenheter från hela världen och det finns goda möjligheter att snickra ihop en lösning som passar även här. I synnerhet om man tar del av det material som RAP samlat och som presenteras i ett webinarium den 21 september.

Energy Efficiency Obligations – A Toolkit for success
Date: September 21, 2016, 15.00-16.00

Speaker: Edith Bayer, Jan Rosenow

Summary of the presentation
Energy Efficiency Obligations (EEOs) are a strong driver of energy savings in Europe and around the world. Many Member States have chosen EEOs as an important policy to support compliance with Article 7 of the Energy Efficiency Directive. This webinar draws on the recently published “Toolkit for Energy Efficiency Obligations” to discuss elements of EEO design, and specifically to answer: What are the main considerations for designing, implementing, and (over time) improving EEOs? What are examples of best practices that have led to successful schemes? And what are some of the most frequent barriers and how might they be overcome?

Speakers
Edith Bayer is an Associate with the Regulatory Assistance Project, based in Brussels. She supports RAP’s programmes on energy efficiency and demand-side management in Brussels and in Cen-tral/Eastern Europe. Ms. Bayer has advised policymakers and stakeholders on the design and prac-tical implementation of energy efficiency obligations, overcoming regulatory and market barriers to energy efficiency and demand response, the principle of “Efficiency First,” and on low-cost pathways to the power sector transition. Prior to RAP, Edith worked on climate and energy policy in Moscow, Russia. She earned her Juris Doctor from New York University School of Law.

Dr Jan Rosenow is a Senior Associate at the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) and a Senior Re-search Fellow at SPRU, University of Sussex. He has more than 12 years of experience in energy and climate change policy. Previously Jan led the energy efficiency policy work of a large energy and climate change consultancy which is part of a global engineering and consultancy business with 3,000+ staff. In addition to his background in consulting, Jan also has a strong track record in energy research - he has held research appointments at leading institutes in the UK, Germany and the United States.

Klandra inte spegeln om Du inte gillar bilden

Då och då kommer det kraftig kritik mot de energiscenarier som till exempel IEA publicerar i sina årliga skrifter. Som senast den här från en organisation som heter Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) och har skrivit en rapport med det klatschiga namnet “Off Track”.

The International Energy Agency has wrongly guided governments into decisions about oil, gas and coal use that are inconsistent with the long-term climate objectives of the Paris Agreement

Men är det sant? Är det IEA som vilseleder? Så här förklarar IEA hur scenarierna konstrueras (jämför med bild nedan)

- New Policies Scenario of the World Energy Outlook broadly serves as the IEA baseline scenario. It takes account of broad policy commitments and plans that have been announced by countries, including national pledges to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and plans to phase out fossil-energy subsidies, even if the measures to implement these commitments have yet to be identified or announced.

- Current Policies Scenario assumes no changes in policies from the mid-point of the year of publication (previously called the Reference Scenario).

- 450 Scenario sets out an energy pathway consistent with the goal of limiting the global increase in temperature to 2°C by limiting concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to around 450 parts per million of CO2.

Två av de scenarier som presenteras är alltså reflexioner av vad som händer i världen och det som är på väg att hända till följd av de beslut som fattats i olika beslutsorgan (länder, samarbetsorganisationer mm). Det är bilder INTE rekommendationer!

Om vi inte gillar det vi ser måste vi kanske rätta till de egna anletsdragen. Men klandra inte spegeln!
