Border adjustment measures on carbon emissions rights
Published

Political domain, Ecology - Sustainable Development, Scale, Scale - Whole EU, Industry, Public Finance - Taxation
Imposing a price to carbon emissions in Europe (in the form of tradeable allowances or of a carbon tax) is detrimental to the external competitiveness of European energy-intensive industries. I propose to set up a border adjustment on the price of carbon: the importer pays the internal tax, the exporter is being refunded.

Imposing a price to carbon emissions in Europe (in the form of tradeable allowances or of a carbon tax) is detrimental to the external competitiveness of European energy-intensive industries. We propose to set up a border adjustment on the price of carbon: the importer pays the internal tax (or purchases emissions allowances), the exporter is being refunded (or sells emissions allowances). The proposed policy is WTO-compatible and relies on well-proven institutions (e.g. VAT) and technologies....

Support the development of thermal solar energy with high, guaranteed feed-in tariffs for heat
Published

The only renewable energy that does not take off in Europe is thermal solar energy: solar panels to collect heat for domestic uses (hot water, heating, even air conditioning!). It should however be strongly supported: its yield is excellent, and (contrary to photovoltaic and wind), it stores its output very simply in the form of hot water. Domestic heating and hot water count as major sources of energy consumption (>25% of the total - to be confirmed), so that replacing the current use of fossi...
