EU-ETS experiences from Finland
This presentation by Tuuli Kaskinen of the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation outlines the ways in which Finland has implemented the EU-ETS. They outline the positives of the program, yet also cite that subsidies and post-2012 targets are needed to ensure success.
Implementation of the directive in Finland
- 90 % of the total reductions in ET-sector
- Grand fathering as main allocation method
- Benchmarking used only for CHP
- No auctioning
- Energy intensive manufacturing industry gets as much rights as they need. Biggest reductions in energy sector.
Environmental pros and cons of EU-ETS in Finland
+ The common EU system has increased the acceptance of the ET+ Better competitiveness for wood based energy
- Competitiveness of new technologies did not increase enough, also subsidies are needed
-> Post 2012 targets are needed soon to create long term commitment to emission reductions
