    Changing the

    trajectory of the

    energy economy

    to avoid the

    worst impacts

    of a warming

    atmosphere will

    require global

    investments of

    nearly $480

    billion annually

    in the near term

    rising to just ove

    $1.2 trillion per

    Both Europe and

    North America

    saw a slowdown

    of clean energy

    investment

    in 2008 due

    to reduced

    availability of

    project finance as

    well as decreases

    in tax incentives.

    The right policies

    and regulatory

    frameworks can

    successfully

    stimulate private

    investment andleverage new

    sources of public

    revenue. A range

    of different

    approaches,

    combined in a

    balanced policy

    mix, can serve as

    a powerful cataly

    toward the clean

    energy economyof the future.

    Bx 1. A portfolio of policies for green transformation

    Available policies and measures to limit the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere include

    regulations and standards, taxes and charges, tradable permits, voluntary agreements, informational

    instruments, subsidies and incentives, and research and development (IPCC 2007b, p. 750). The shiftto a low-carbon energy economy will need to be supported by a balanced and coordinated strategy that

    integrates a combination of these tools. In such a portfolio of approaches, the selection of individual

    instruments will be typically guided by the following criteria:

    Environmental effectiveness: How well does the policy meets its intended environmental objective? How

    certain is its level of environmental impact?

    Cost effectiveness: Can the policy achieve its objectives at a lower cost than other policies? Does it create

    revenue streams that can be reinvested?

    Distributional considerations: How does the policy impact consumers and producers? Can it be

    considered fair and equitable?

    Institutional feasibility: Is the policy instrument likely to be viewed as legitimate, gain political acceptance,be adopted and finally implemented? (IPCC 2007b, p. 751).

    In the context of clean technology investment, the ability of policies to foster efficient levels of innovation

    and diffusion may additionally depend on the speed at which measures can be decided and implemented,

    the ability to trigger investment and multiplier effects, and the effect on public budgets and public debt

    burden (Edenhofer et al. 2009, p. 18).

    Bx 2. Barriers to sustainable energy investment

    Despite the widely acknowledged potential of sustainable energy technologies not only to reduce greenhouse

    gases but also to frequently lower energy costs, generate employment and provide access to new and

    competitive markets, actual deployment figures in many areas have lagged behind expectations. A number of

    barriers to clean technology investment have been identified to explain this observation, including:

    Behavioral barriers, such as the agency problems faced by property owners when deciding on efficiency

    investments in buildings that will primarily benefit tenants, but not the owners themselves;

    Knowledge externalities, locking investors into technologies they already have experience with

    typically conventional, carbon-intensive technologiesand preventing capital flows into new and

    uncertain technologies;

    Institutional barriers, such as economic and political frameworks that provide investors with littlepredictability over the long term, and rather promote short-term decision making in line with electoral

    cycles and quarterly earnings reporting;

    Limited ability to appropriate returns on innovation, with high spillover rates and complexity in the clean

    technology sector rendering classic patent protection less effective as a way to guarantee returns on

    clean energy investments.

    To help overcome these barriers and deploy capital at the scale required, investors need policy and price

    signals that are long-term, clearly defined, and legally enshrined (Cameron et al. 2009, p. 9).

    Bx 3. Generating revenue for public ependiture

    According to UNFCCC estimates, only a share of clean energy investmentapproximately 15 percent

    will need to be covered by public spending (UNFCCC, 2008, p. 170). Providing stable revenue sources to

    fund such expenditures will be crucial to avoid straining public budgets and incurring sovereign debt or

    inflationary pressures. Numerous instruments have been proposed to yield such revenue streams, including

    innovative instruments such as green bonds (Cameron, 2009, p. 10). Mostly, however, these revenue

    streams are based on carbon markets or some form of carbon tax, and some examples currently under

    discussion are described below.

    A budget plan submitted by the U.S. President in February 2009, for instance, assumed $78.7 billion in

    revenue in 2012 from the sale of greenhouse gas allowances, rising to a total of $645.7 billion by 2019

    (OMB 2009). Likewise, about half of all allowances in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme will be auctioned

    beginning in 2013, potentially yielding revenues of up to $60 billion annually (CCAP 2009 p. 11). At the

    international level, Norway has proposed to withhold a small portionbetween 2 and 6 percentof Assigned

    Amount Units (AAUs) from national quota allocations, auction it to developed countries through an appropriate

    international institution, and thereby raise revenues of $15-25 billion annually (Norway 2009, p. 2).

    Auctioning 50 percent of allowances in emissions trading systems already in operation or likely to be

    implemented in the OECD over the next years could raise $90-180 billion a year between 2010 and

    2020, assuming carbon prices of $25-45 per ton of CO2e (Project Catalyst 2009, p. 17). However,

    revenue from auctioning funds will typically be earmarked for a range of domestic purposes, such as

    deficit reduction. Allocating only half of these revenues to activities related to climate change, as the

    European Commission has proposed for the EU, could still raise $45-90 billion, more than covering the

    public investment needs outlined above. Alternative sources of financing, such as levies on bunker fuels

    used in aviation and maritime shipping, have also recently featured in the political debate and could yield

    $10 billion in funds each year.

    Bx 4. Eliminating subsidies on fossil fuels

    A corollary to the introduction of a price on carbon is the elimination of price supports for carbon-

    intensive technologies and especially for fossil fuels. Globally around $300 billion is being spent on

    energy subsidies annually, with the largest share used to artificially lower or reduce the real price of

    conventional fuels such as oil, coal and gas or electricity generated from fossil fuels (UNEP 2008, p. 10).

    Cancelling these subsidies might reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 6 percent a year while

    contributing 0.1 percent to global GDP (UNEP 2008, p. 15).

    Prevalent in developing countries as a means of assisting low income groups and promoting access to

    energy, fossil fuel subsidies are also used in advanced industrial economies such as the United States,

    where a recent survey by the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) found price support for fossil fuels to

    substantially exceed subsidies for renewable energy sources: fossil fuels benefited from approximately

    $72 billion between 2002 and 2008, while subsidies for renewable energy totaled only $29 billion in the

    same period (ELI 2008, p. 3).

    It is encouraging, therefore, that G20 leaders convening in Pittsburgh on 25 September 2009 pledged to

    phase out and rationalize over the medium term inefficient fossil fuel subsidies while providing targeted

    support for the poorest (G20 2009, p. 3). Without a specified timeline or detailed commitments,

    however, it remains to be seen whether and how this pledge will ultimately be implemented.

    Bx 5. Stimulating green-power generationGermanys feed-in tariffs versusthe U.K.s renewable obligations

    The two biggest economies in the EU took very different pathways in promoting the deployment of

    renewable energy in the electricity sector. Germany introduced guaranteed prices for each kWh produced

    from renewable sources. In contrast to the German feed-in tariff, the U.K.s renewable energy support

    system has primarily relied on the Renewables Obligation (RO)a quota system comparable to the

    Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) widely used in the United States. The U.K. scheme obliges utilities

    to supply a certain share of their power generation from renewable sources or to pay a buy-out price.

    Compliance is proved through freely traded certificates (Renewable Obligation Certificates), which are the

    main source of income for operators of renewable-energy installations.

    Even though a direct comparison of the schemes is subject to some caveats (most importantly a much

    later starting point of the U.K. scheme), current installation rates suggest that feed-in tariffs have fuelledmore dynamic growth in Germany than the RO policy has in the United Kingdom. Starting with a share of 3.4

    percent renewable energy in total electricity consumption in 1990, Germany had doubled the contribution

    of renewable energy to 6.7 percent in 2001 and then doubled it again by 2007, when the share reached

    14 percent. Despite its enormous wind-energy potential, the United Kingdom only increased its share

    of renewable electricity by 2 percentage points, from 3 percent in 2000 to 5 percent in 2007. Certainly,

    the support regime is not the only explanation for different outcomes in the two countries, as planning

    procedures and grid structure also play an important role. However, the planning security provided by fixed

    feed-in tariffs has clearly made renewable energy projects a more attractive investment in Germany for all

    types of investors, including small-scale developers and private households, as well as banks financing the

    capital investments required. In addition, the technology differentiation built into Germanys various tariff rates

    has allowed the promotion of all forms of renewable energy (e.g. more expensive solar generation) while the

    British RO scheme has mostly benefitted the technology closest to cost-effectiveness: onshore wind.

    Bx 6. Carbon capture and storage: A controversial option

    Reflecting the wide availability of coal and the role it plays in the production of electricity, many

    studies and policies promote investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS) (WEF 2009, p. 32; UCS

    2009, p. 77). CCS is a technology through which carbon dioxide is captured at the point of emission,

    compressed, and transported to a storage site, such as an aquifer. CCS has received limited support

    from environmental groups, although there is recognition that significant barriers to full-scale deployment

    of renewable energy may justify investment in CCS to produce low-carbon energy on a large scale (UCS

    2009, p. 77). The World Economic Forum identifies insufficient legislative incentives, incomplete

    regulatory frameworks, and a lack of public acceptance as impediments to the deployment of CCS at this

    point (WEF 2009, p. 32).

    The development and deployment of CCS does have potential to drastically reduce the carbon profile of

    coal-fired power plants. In addition to demonstrating the technology at scale, however, widespread use of

    CCS would require tremendous infrastructure investments to develop the system of pipelines that would

    transport carbon captured in the production process to underground storage sites. Environmental risks

    from the storage of vast amounts of carbon dioxide undergroundincluding, notably, the risk of leakage

    can only be assessed by demonstration projects. Furthermore, CCS reduces the efficiency of a coal-fired

    power plant, requiring the mining, transportation, and burning of more coal (WEF 2009, pp. 7980), all

    with inherent negative environmental impacts.

    Despite these concerns, the political barriers for other sources of energy may very well be too real

    to ignore in the short term, and thus CCS should not be altogether omitted from the toolbox of policy

    options. As mitigation strategies are deployed over the long term, moreover, and other abatement options

    are increasingly exhausted on the path toward a carbon-neutral economy, CCS can prove an essential

    technology to sequester unavoidable process emissions in various sectors, such as cement and steel.

    More research and development and actual deployment projects are required to better assess the costs,potential, and risks of using large-scale CCS to provide low-carbon energy.

    The policy strategy outlined here can be effective in nearly every setting. However, a UNEP report sheds

    particular light on the unique difficulties faced by developing countries in the building sector (UNEP

    2007, pp. 65-68). Research demonstrates that a basket of measures introduced simultaneously is most

    likely to achieve meaningful results in the developing country context. One possible integrated policywould combine a regulatory mechanism (building standards) with capacity building and training along

    with demonstration projects (funded by the government) and financial incentives for adoption. Without

    implementation and enforcement, many policies to promote building efficiency will failespecially in many

    developing countries. As many developing countries face financial and capacity limitations to develop

    and enforce building codes and other policies, developed countries could facilitate building investment in

    developing countries by directing funds toward training, enforcement, and financial incentives.
