Policy relevant decision options
Here are some suggested amendments to the EU trade treaty for phase III (by comission):
- inclusion/exclusion of small installations: > 25 MW or > 10 kt CO2 emission/year
- CO2 emissions from petrochemicals, ammonia & aluminium production to be included
- N2O emissions from mitric, adipic & glyoxalic acid to be included
- perfluorocarbon (PFC) emissions from aluminium production to be included
- carbon capture and storage (CCS) possibly to be included
- road & ship transport NOT to be included (air transport to be included during phase II 2010 onwards)
- land use, land use change & forestry NOT to be included
- centralized allocation of emission permits (total emission cap defined for whole EU instead of national action plans by member states)
- auctioning of > 60 % of permits (instead of distributing all for free)
Some points of city-level decision options regarding CC mitigation measures within the Helsinki metropolitan area (from YTV climate strategy):
- transport
- public transport: pricing, speed/smoothness of connections, quality of service
- urban planning: transport distances, proportion of light traffic
- emissions: purchases by city, informing of alternative means of transport, privileges to low emission cars, support to car pooling (urban planning, economical incentives)
- ship transport identified as an issue, but not considered
- land use
- compact city plans, filling of empty spots within town plan (urban planning)
- location of workplaces (urban planning)
- enabling use of renewable energy sources (urban planning)
- electricity consumption
- guidance about heating/cooling systems (planning, informing)
- energy efficiency of city's own operations (eco-efficieny as purchase criterion)
- consumption follow-up & distribution of costs by usage
- heating
- energy efficiency of new buildings (investment support, informing)
- change to renewable energy sources (price, investment support, informing)
- change to district heating (price, investment support, urban planning, informing)
- city's own solutions
- service personnel education
- purchases, consumption, waste
- waste management
- waste incineration
- waste sorting
- energy supply
- efficiency of energy production & transfer, use of return water excess heat
- renewable energy sources
- expansion of district cooling
- decentralized energy production: renewable energy sources (price, informing)
- expansion of district heating
- informing and research
