Explore the preparation and assessment of national climate strategies in Finland, focusing on emissions scenarios, policy formulation, and impact evaluation. Key topics include energy conservation programs, renewable energy sources, and economic modeling for mitigation. Learn about emission trading mechanisms and post-Kyoto period considerations.

Workshop on the preparation of the fourth national communications 30 September - 1 October 2004Dublin, Ireland Juha Turkki Ministry of Trade and Industry
Scenarios in 3rd national communication • National Climate Strategy submitted to Parliament 2001 • Ministerial working group to prepare the Strategy • Scenarios: emissions in 2010, • WM (89,9 Mt CO2-ekv), • policy-scenario WAM (Kioto-target, 1990 level 76,8 Mt CO2-ekv) • Policies and measures in policy scenarios • Energy Conservation Programme, • Programme for Promoting Renewable Sources of Energy, • increased use of natural gas or new nuclear power capacity • Impacts of policies and measures were assesed by two combinations of energy and economic models (VATT/VTT and ETLA/VTT)
Ghanges after the Climate Strategy • TVO, a private owned Fiinish industrial power company submitted its application for a decision-in-principle to construct the fifth nuclear power plant unit • Parliament approved the decision-in-principle on May 2002, • Proposal for Emission Trading Directive was issued by the Commission in 2001, • new instrument for mitigation => role of other economic instruments • More accurate calculation rules for mechanisms and sinks, • Proposal for directive for linking the flexible mechanisms and emission trading was issued, • Discussion concerning the mitigation after Kyoto period
Updating the Climate Strategy • Organisation and background material • Ministerial Working Group • Background material from sector-specific reports and from working groups • for example: • WG:s for energy conservation and for use of renewables • WG for combining ET and other (taxes, subsidies etc.) measures for mitigation • Timetable • Updated strategy will be submitted to Parliament in the early 2005
Scenarios for Climate Strategy • WM-scenario has been constructed for the years 2003-2020 • WAM-scenario has been constructed for the EU:s emission trading period 2005-2007 • the total allocation of allowances to ET-sector • policies and measures in the sector outside the ET-sector • WAM scenario for the years 2008-2012 and further to 2020 is under construction • the total allocation of allowances to ET-sector • domestic measures outside the ET-sector • role of mechanisms (JI, CDM, IET) • role of sinks

Impacts of policies and measures • Impacts are assessed with: • EV-model, a general equilibrium model administered by Government Institute of Economic Research (VATT) • further developed from the ETLA-model used in 2001 • model contains a sub-model for energy • economic impacts of policies and measures • TIMES-model, administered by Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) • adjusted to describe Finnish energy system • reactions of energy system for mitigation policies
