Abstract

This paper considers the current proposal to extend the EU ETS to cover CO2 emissions from the combustion of heating and road transport fuels. We argue that increased coverage of the EU ETS, together with a binding cap consistent with a net zero trajectory, would be a powerful dynamic incentive to efficient emissions reduction. In addition, it would complement standards-based policies currently enacted in these sectors in several ways. Distributional implications remain a serious challenge to such an extension but several mechanisms are available to alleviate them.

欧盟排放交易系统是否应扩展到道路运输和供暖燃料？

本文考虑了目前将欧盟碳排放交易体系扩大到涵盖供暖和道路运输燃料燃烧产生的二氧化碳排放的建议。我们认为，增加欧盟排放交易体系的覆盖范围，加上与净零轨迹相一致的约束性上限，将成为有效减排的有力动态激励。此外，它将在几个方面补充目前在这些部门制定的基于标准的政策。分配影响仍然是这种扩展的一个严重挑战，但有几种机制可以缓解它们。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
