Analysis of EU member states' national allocation plans
Kolshus, Hans H.; Torvanger, Asbjørn (CICERO Working Paper;2005:02, Working paper, 2005)The European Union’s (EU) emissions trading scheme (ETS) started on 01 January 2005. The ETS covers CO2 emissions from large emitters in the power and heat generation industry and selected energy-intensive industrial ... -
Burden differentiation of greenhouse gas abatement: Criteria for evaluation and development of burden-sharing rules
Torvanger, Asbjørn; Ringius, Lasse (CICERO Working Paper;2000:01, Working paper, 2000)This article discusses nine criteria for evaluation of potential Burden Sharing Rules (BSRs) in climate policy agreements. Three of the criteria reflect fairness principles while six of them are operational requirements. ... -
Burden differentiation of greenhouse gas abatement: Fairness principles and proposals
Ringius, Lasse; Torvanger, Asbjørn; Underdal, Arild (CICERO Working Paper;1999:13, Working paper, 1999)This report is the second working paper of the joint CICERO (Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo) and ECN (Netherlands Energy Research Foundation) project ‘Rules for Burden Differentiation of ... -
Can geological carbon storage be competitive?
Kallbekken, Steffen; Torvanger, Asbjørn (CICERO Working Paper;2004:05, Working paper, 2004)In this paper we review the literature on the costs and benefits of geological carbon storage and the estimates of greenhouse gas permit prices under the Kyoto Protocol commitment period and beyond. Combining these results ... -
Can multi-criteria rules fairly distribute climate burdens? OECD results from three burden-sharing rules
Ringius, Lasse; Torvanger, Asbjørn; Holtsmark, Bjart (CICERO Working Paper;1998:06, Working paper, 1998)An important feature of the Protocol concluded in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997 is the differentiation of the climate targets of the industrialized countries. A more systematic approach to burden sharing than that leading ... -
Can the Clean Development Mechanism attain both cost-effectiveness and sustainable development objectives?
Kolshus, Hans H.; Vevatne, Jonas; Torvanger, Asbjørn; Aunan, Kristin (CICERO Working Paper;2001:08, Working paper, 2001)The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), as defined in the Kyoto Protocol, has two objectives: to promote sustainable development in host developing countries, and to improve global cost-effectiveness by assisting developed ... -
Climate change impacts on agricultural productivity in Norway
Torvanger, Asbjørn; Twena, Michelle; Romstad, Bård (CICERO Working Paper;2004:10, Working paper, 2004)Climate change is likely to affect agricultural productivity. In this study, a biophysical statistical model is used to analyze the relationship between yields of potatoes, barley, oats and wheat per decare, and temperature ... -
Climate policy futures, energy markets, and technology: Implications for Norway
Kolshus, Hans H.; Torvanger, Asbjørn; Malvik, Henrik (CICERO Working Paper;2000:09, Working paper, 2000)This paper is part of the joint CICERO and Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI) project “Towards a cost-effective climate policy: The international framework and Norwegian policy framework” (“Mot en effektiv klimapolitikk: ... -

The feasibility of ambitious climate agreements: Norway as an early test case
Andresen, Steinar; Kolshus, Hans H.; Torvanger, Asbjørn (CICERO Working Paper;2002:03, Working paper, 2002)There are considerable differences between developed countries as to how difficult it will be to meet their commitments under the Kyoto Protocol. ‘High-cost abatement countries’ are particularly interesting as they can be ... -
The trade-off between short- and long-lived greenhouse gases under uncertainty and learning
Aaheim, H. Asbjørn; Brekke, Kjell Arne; Lystad, Terje; Torvanger, Asbjørn (CICERO Working Paper;2001:10, Working paper, 2001)To find an optimal climate policy we must balance abatement of different greenhouse gases. There is substantial uncertainty about future damages from climate change, but we will learn more over the next few decades. Gases ... -
