India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme – a New Beginning
India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme – a New Beginning

13th September 2022

Topic(s): Carbon markets, India

In August 2022, the Lower House of India's Parliament passed a bill to establish a domestic carbon credit trading scheme. The passing of the bill highlights the Government's focus on creating a climate mitigation framework that builds on the most flexible elements of international developments to meet its climate targets.

Although CCS is being evaluated in India, there is no timeline providing clarity about when CCS may be included in India's climate plans. However, the amendment indicates a new era for India in its quest to reduce emissions and meet climate commitments. Like carbon trading systems elsewhere, CCS projects may later be included and benefit from an Indian carbon market.

The Role of CCS in the Paris Agreement and its Article 6
The Role of CCS in the Paris Agreement and its Article 6

29th April 2020

Organisation(s): Global CCS Institute

Topic(s): Carbon capture and storage (CCS), Carbon markets, Carbon removal, Policy law and regulation

There has been a growing interest within the Institute’s membership – and elsewhere – in the opportunities to drive the deployment of CCS by the provisions of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. This paper draws together all the latest information and thinking on the Article and its role in enabling countries to meet the objectives they have set themselves in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), with particular emphasis on how it can impact CCS.

The paper, authored by our Senior Policy Advisor Eve Tamme and Consultant John Scowcroft, provides insights into the history of Article 6, elaborates on how it can be an enabler for CCS, and looks into the upcoming developments in this field by answering the following questions:
• What does Article 6 do?
• What does Article 6 not do?
• Where is Article 6 in the international climate negotiations?
• What does Article 6 mean for CCS?
• What are the next steps?

Carbon Capture and Storage Policy Indicator (CCS-PI): 2015 update

2nd September 2015

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Carbon markets, Domestic policy, Economics, Policy law and regulation

The Institute has developed an analytical framework to derive a composite indicator that compares levels of national policy support to drive domestic action on CCS.

This 2015 update of the CCS Policy Indicator includes some important developments that have occurred in several major countries since it was last published in 2013.

Position paper on benchmarking and allocation rules in phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
Position paper on benchmarking and allocation rules in phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System

1st February 2010

Topic(s): Carbon markets, Policy law and regulation

This position paper is part of the European NGOs’ contribution to the comitology procedure implementing the provisions of the reviewed EU Emissions Trading directive on benchmarking and EU-wide allocation rules. We expect a draft decision, prepared by EU national experts and the European Commission, to be presented to the Council and the European Parliament before the summer of 2010, with the aim of having a final decision before the end of 2010.

Carbon valuation in UK policy appraisal: a revised approach
Carbon valuation in UK policy appraisal: a revised approach

1st July 2009

Topic(s): Carbon markets, Economics, Social cost

This paper sets out a revised approach to valuing carbon in policy appraisal, following a review undertaken within Government in the course of 2008 and early 2009. It concludes that the approach, based on estimates of the SCC, should be replaced with a target-consistent approach, based on estimates of the abatement costs that will need to be incurred to meet specific emissions reduction targets. The case for change is motivated by the considerable uncertainty that exists surrounding estimates of the SCC. The change will have the effect of helping to ensure that the policies the UK Government develops are consistent with the emissions reductions targets that the UK has adopted through carbon budgets and also at an EU and UN level.

Carbon dioxide capture and storage in the clean development mechanism: assessing market effects of inclusion
Carbon dioxide capture and storage in the clean development mechanism: assessing market effects of inclusion

13th November 2008

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Carbon markets, Policy law and regulation

The report presents findings associated with the possible inclusion of carbon dioxide capture and geological storage (CCS) within the Kyoto Protocol’s clean development mechanism (CDM), and the potential repercussions this could have on the global regulated carbon market.

In order to achieve this, it examines the effects of creating additional certified emission reduction (CER) 'offsets' from CCS activities to the pool available for compliance by Annex B Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. The study also considers implications for 2020 in order to gauge potential market effects of CCS in any future, yet-to-be-agreed, post-2012 international carbon trading mechanism.
