ACROPOLIS; Assessing Climate Response Options: Policy Simulations - Insights from Using National and International Models

This project addresses the general objectives of the Fifth Framework Program for Energy and aims at applying and comparing existing models to assess the impact of energy technologies and policy measures on GHG emissions and on sustainability in a global systems analysis perspective. The questions to be explored are to what extent technologies can facilitate the required emission reductions both in the short and long term and to what extent policies can foster the development of new technologies and their subsequent deployment. (for more details click here)
The work included six packages:
  • Phase 1: Background work and initial assumptions;
  • Phase 2: Impact of price mechanisms;
  • Phase 3: Impact of regulatory policy in the energy supply side: renewable portfolio and tradable green certificates;
  • Phase 4: Impact of a policy of energy efficiency standards;
  • Phase 5: Impact of international flexibility mechanisms;
  • Phase 6: Reporting and dissemination.
Domestic policies include:
  • Standards (for appliances and vehicles in energy end-use;
  • heat-rate in power generation technologies);
  • Renewable portfolio schemes for power generation;
  • Internalisation of environmental externalities;
International flexibility mechanisms include
  • Emission permits trading schemes;
  • Internationally tradable green certificates.
  • CD Mechanisms
