Project: Markets for energy efficiency. Exploring the new horizons
of tradable certificates schemes (2004-2008)

Objective: To generate knowledge about the complexities and
implications of creating tradable certificate schemes for improved
energy efficiency (so-called ‘Tradable White Certificates Schemes’)
Phase 1. To analyse the potential impacts of creating TWC schemes by conducting ex-ante
evaluations  Main focus: cost-effectiveness, environmental effectiveness and distributional
equity of hypothetical EU-wide TWC scheme

Phase 2. To identify and estimate the nature and scale of transaction costs under implemented
TWC schemes  Main focus: Transaction costs for selected energy efficiency technologies

Phase 3. To analyse empirically estimated market behaviour in TWC schemes by conducting ex-
post evaluations  Main focus: trading patterns, economic efficiency, cost-effectiveness,
political feasibility, administrative burden and technical change

various learning processes and thus the development and diffusion of energy efficient end-use
technologies  Main focus: Policy environment(s) enabling learning for innovation

Phase 3. Insulation To analyse to what extent different policy packages can support various
learning processes and thus the development and diffusion of energy efficient end-use
technologies  Main focus: Policy environment(s) enabling learning for innovation
