Each of the approximately 11,000 industrial sites emitting more than 20,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year must count emissions and check. It receives free of charge at the beginning of the year a quantity of allowances and must return to December 31. Without this Sesame, unable to produce. Offenders are fined 100 euros per tonne of CO2, but, with developed markets in place, they can sell or buy to reach their goals. From 2013, the rule of free disappears for the application of the principle polluter. But only in theory.
Electricity producers, not subject to international competition, will have to purchase 100 of their quotas. But a departure has put in place for those who use more than 30 of coal in their supply. Coal is the most carbon energy and therefore, they should buy large quantities of quotas. Finally, Polish electricians will be forced to pay 30 of their quotas... and will therefore continue to sell on the markets that they will be obtained free of charge, on condition of course have made the necessary efforts to reduce their emissions. Auction rate rise gradually to 100 in 2020.
If it considers necessary to continue to use coal in the long term because his country has strong reservations, an electrician will be able, as the German Government requested, ask 15 of the investment subsidies to build power plants new generation high-efficiency. This derogation will last only until 2016.
Industry already submitted to the market of carbon, that is a part of the manufacturers of flat glass, dog food, furniture, considered not to be exposed to the risk of carbon, should they also start to buy quotas in 2013, but only at 20, a rate rise to 70 in 2020 and 100 in 2027.
Remains almost all of the sites emitting more than 20,000 tonnes of CO2, the exposure to global competition rate exceeds 10, and how costs are weighed down by more than 5 by the auction of rights to pollute. For them, you will have to tame a new concept: the benchmark. A chemist can prove that it works from the best technology will be totally free emission rights. But its most greedy brother energy will have to pay for pollution emitted beyond the levels attained by the best. A way to encourage him to do better. Negotiations have also allowed those who are 30 of additional costs or which are 30 of trade with third countries, such as lime or steel, to maintain a full exemption. A privilege interesting, knowing that the tonne of CO2 negotiated between 15 and 20 euros per tonne in recent weeks. To facilitate the life of business leaders, the Commission shall determine the list of sectors benefiting from exemptions by end 2009.
The sectors must not all consider itself exempt from any effort. Their policies to combat climate change, States will have to set new rules if they want to meet their objectives. The thermal rules governing construction or consumer products will therefore hardened to arrive there.
