  2. Early carbon market1996-2001

  3. Greenhouse gases emission reductions an unusual commodity • Different “qualities” of ERs depending on the credibility of the baseline scenario • Players are interested in different “brands” depending on their objectives Emission Reductions=Hypothetical baseline emissions - Effective emissions

  4. Carbon prices in past transactions

  5. Sellers • Key motivations: • Gain additional revenue • Strategic positioning to take advantage of future demand for ERs (e.g. Costa-Rica) • However, at prices much below $3/tCO2e, carbon finance has too small an impact on projects’ IRRs (except maybe for some forestry activities).

  6. Motivations of buyers • Governments • Firms(large utilities, energy cies, etc.) • Individuals • Regulations in place • Expect regulations on GHG emissions in the future • Hedge against future costs • Influence future regulation • Learning • Strategic positioning • “Green” factor • Hedge against risk of appearing bad • Differentiating products

  7. Quantities in past transactions • Partial information available. • Within OECD and EITs: 40-60 MtCO2e have been transacted. • In developing countries: Less activity but growing. Mostly government funded, but private activity growing. • General trend towards sophistication: buyers clubs (PCF), traders, financial derivatives (options), integrated marketplaces, etc.

  8. How may the market look like in coming years?

  9. Emerging market drivers • Regulations constraining GHG emissions are being developed: • National policies (e.g. UK, The Netherlands) • Subnational regulations (e.g. some US States) • Regional initiatives (EU-wide trading) • Firms are increasingly taking action, in particular voluntary emission commitments • Parallel markets are emerging: e.g. carbon neutral certification.

  11. The Netherlands • Government funded Emission Reduction Unit Procurement Tender (ERU-PT) and Certified Emission Reduction Units Procurement Tender (CERUPT) • Buy ERs in Eastern Europe (JI) and non-Annex B countries (CDM) respectively • 2000 tender (completed): $19 M • Average price for first tender: $7/tCO2e • Second Tender ERUPT, First Tender CERUPT opened.

  12. United Kingdom • Climate Change Levy (April 2001) • Tax on energy use • Rebates in exchange for voluntary commitments • Benefits recycled in other corporate tax rebates • Emission Trading (end of 2001) • On a voluntary basis for a limited range of companies • Projects outside UK are considered for 2002.

  13. Regional regulations US/Canada • Oregon: CO2 emissions standard for new energy utilities. Price cap: $0.57/tCo2. Utilities can offset emissions using project based mechanisms. • Washington: New plants must demonstrate the use of best available techniques for CO2 emissions control. • Massachusetts: CO2 emissions cap for energy utilities effective in 2005. Utilities can offset excess emissions using project-based mechanisms. • New-England + Eastern Canadian Provinces: -20% in 2020 compared to 1990.

  14. Voluntary corporate commitments • Rapid survey indicates 52 major companies representing 1 billion tCO2e emissions in 1999 have pledged to reduce GHG emissions by 2010. • Resulting demand depends on the baseline. If we set baseline at 1999 emissions, we obtain a total demand of 500 MtCO2e over the next decade. • At least eight have said they would use project based mechanisms.

  15. Voluntary corporate commitments Internal Trading 1999 Emissions Commitment CDM/JI Alcoa -- 25% below 1990 in 2010 BP Amoco 79.8 Cumulative 2%/year below 1990   Chubu EPCo. 51.3 0.410 kgCo2/kWh in 2005 Dupont 44.4 65% below 1990 in 2010 Kaidanren 478.6 level of 1990 in 2010 Kodak -- 20% below 1990 in 2004 Fortum 9 0.5 MtCo2e below baseline in 2010  IBM 4.1 Cumulative 4%/year below 1998 until 2004 Intel 3.3 10% below 1995 in 2010 (PFCs) Johns.&Johns. 1.5 7% below 1990 in 2010 Motorola -- 50% below 1995 in 2010 (PFCs) Ontario PG 26 6% below 1990 in 2010  PEMEX 177 -1% per year until 2010   Shell 99 103 MtCo2e in 2002   Statoil 8.3 1.5 MtCo2e below baseline in 2010  Suncor 5 -1.5%/year until 2002 (-1%/year for 2003-2008)  Transalta 38.5 ----- 

  16. In addition, Canada and Australia have voluntary ER programs with very good coverage of key emitting sectors.

  17. Chicago Climate Exchange • 42 entities (mostly firms + Chicago and Mexico city) will agree on emission targets by the end of 2001 and start trading in 2002. • Objectives: -2% below 1998 level in 2002, additional -1% period year between 2003 and 2005. • Allows for offsets through project-based mechanisms.

  18. Emerging carbon funds Prototype Carbon Fund +… • About 5 private sector funds to capture JI/CDM Carbon credits in all investments. • Handful of private equity funds also seeking carbon credit investors to raise IRR in deals. • Major forestry funds thinking about C credits. • New energy private equity and mutual funds might seek C credit deals if demand rises. • Social funds use C as screening indicator.

  19. Market for “carbon neutral” products and services • Increasingly, individuals and private or public organizations are looking for credible ways to offset the emissions their activities cause. • Some firms provide this service – Future Forests, 550ppm or Klima – and buy ERs. • Typically market for third-party verified ERs (but not necessarily Kyoto compatible)

  20. Conclusion • The carbon market already exists, and is growing rapidly. • With success in Bonn/Marrakesh, market for Kyoto compatible ERs (CDM, JI) and Emission Quotas (Trading) now likely to grow. • However, demand for non-Kyoto ERs likely to remain strong because of US-based demand, climate neutral business activity and “green” motivation.

  22. Annex: some insights on future prices and quantities

  23. Demand and supply with Kyoto Hot Air financial flow to Russia and EE Total Annex B demand for ERs Domestic Carbon Sinks Mitigation within Annex B (domestic or via trading or JI) CDM Market

  24. Hot Air >

  25. Volumes in Kyoto w/o the US Gross annual demand for ERs 1400 – 2400 MtCO2e between 2008 and 2012 - Credits for hot air 950 – 2150 - Credits for Annex B Sinks » 330 ( 200) = Net demand 0 – 1800 MtCO2e

  26. Carbon Market Impact • Hot-air and new Annex I sinks allowances depress CDM/JI market • W/o US, up to 100% of OECD needs may be met by hot air + sinks. • Both CDM/JI “project-based” and “hot –air” (emissions trading) markets will be “policy-driven” • Hot air may be cheap but politically unpalatable • CDM/JI project-based more expensive and difficult but high quality and politically acceptable

  27. Prices in Post CoP6 World • With full competition, our market analysis suggests: • CDM trades from near zero up to $8/tCO2e • Range of $1.50-4/tCO2e more likely in our view • PCF currently pays $3-4/tCO2e • Non-KP Market drivers are significant: OECD domestic regimes and Corporate Voluntary market
