Introduction to the EU Emission Trading SystemLeonardo ENERGY
The EU ETS Directive is the centrepiece of the European Union’s climate policy. It has created the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which is a unique and quite com-plex system.
The EU ETS establishes a scheme for greenhouse gas emissions allowances trading within 31 European countries. Its functioning is based on a “cap and trade” principle, which sets a cap on the total amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted by all participating installations. Within the cap, companies receive or buy emission allowances which they can trade with one another as needed.
Today, the EU ETS covers almost half of EU’s emissions and is part of the daily life of a large number of companies.
The EU ETS Directive represents the backbone of EU’s action against climate change, but it also works in combination with several other pieces of legislation in a delicate balance.
Our European system has very much evolved during the last 15 years. The existing legislation operates until 2020. It has set a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target in line with EU’s 2050 low carbon economy roadmap. The time has also come to discuss the post-2020 period and the European Commission will soon put forward a new proposal with a 2030 emissions reduction target.
Being the first one to have been setup, the European scheme is analysed and taken as exam-ple in other regions of the world where emissions trading starts being implemented.
This course aims at giving a presentation of the EU ETS Directive, the main features of the sys-tem, the balance with other pieces of EU legislation and at offering perspectives for the on-coming review of the scheme.
Snam has outlined its 2030 vision and 2021-2025 strategic plan to become a global leader in hydrogen transport networks, green energy projects, and energy storage. The company aims to invest €12 billion over the next decade to expand its multi-molecule infrastructure networks for transporting natural gas, biomethane, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. Snam also plans to develop integrated green energy projects and grow its energy storage business to become a leading provider of multi-molecule storage and flexibility services in Europe. These investments are expected to support continued growth of Snam's regulated asset base and deliver high single-digit returns.

The document summarizes the European Commission's policy on supporting research and innovation in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies. It outlines the Commission's goals of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 through switching to renewable energy and fully decarbonizing carbon-intensive industries using CCUS. The Commission plans to fund CCUS demonstration projects through Horizon Europe and support the deployment of CCUS through various policy tools and funding mechanisms.
Vietnam has significant experience with the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and sees opportunities for the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) to help address some of the issues experienced with CDM. JCM could facilitate low-carbon technology transfer by using eligibility criteria instead of additionality assessments and having a shorter, more flexible approval process. The energy, agriculture, land use and forestry sectors in Vietnam offer many options for low-carbon projects under JCM, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, improved cookstoves, and forestation.

GHG emission reduction due to energy efficiency measures under climate policyIEA-ETSAP
This document summarizes the results of a study analyzing the impact of energy efficiency measures on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under different climate policy scenarios. The study used three energy-economic models, including TIAM-ECN, and focused on G20 countries through 2030. The results showed that energy efficiency measures could reduce global GHG emissions by 15-25% by 2050 in a cost-effective manner. Higher reductions occurred in the near-term (2020-2030). Energy efficiency in the power sector, industry and transport offered significant opportunities, especially in China, India, and the U.S. The models agreed that energy efficiency could offset cumulative emissions by 2-3 gigatons of CO2 equivalent by

The document discusses European coal policy and legislation. It summarizes energy reserves in different countries and the EU. Much of the existing and proposed legislation aims to reduce the environmental impact of coal, for example through emissions trading schemes and emissions limits. Representatives from the coal industry express concerns that the proposed 40% emissions reduction target and increased support for renewables will negatively impact coal.
Impatto dell’idrogeno verde sul sistema elettrico: quali i costi? (Bruno Cova)Sardegna Ricerche
The document discusses green hydrogen production and its role in energy diversification. It provides:
1) An overview of hydrogen production strategies in the US and EU, which aim to scale up renewable hydrogen electrolyzers to reduce emissions in hard to decarbonize sectors.
2) A framework for assessing the costs of different implementation scenarios for integrating green hydrogen production via electrolysis into power systems, including decentralized, transport of hydrogen, and transport of electricity approaches.
3) An analysis of applying this framework to Italy's power system and hydrogen strategy, which aims for 5GW of electrolyzers by 2030, to understand the impacts on costs and markets under various scenarios.
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allows emission-reduction projects in developing countries to earn certified emission reduction (CER) credits, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2. The Kyoto Protocol established mechanisms for CDM. Projects go through validation, registration, verification and issuance of CERs. India has over 1,400 approved CDM projects expected to generate over 600 million CERs until 2012 across sectors like energy efficiency, renewable energy and waste management. Challenges include tapping potential from new sectors and developing large and programmatic CDM projects.
After the Fukushima accident, a national debate regarding French energy transition was launched. A policy goal of reducing nuclear electricity generation from 75% to 50% share of total generation was established. Since the year 2013, electricity consumption has stabilized in France, the share of renewable sources continues to grow and there is a high level of hydropower production. Thus, means of conventional thermal generation are rarely used. In addition, electricity generation and capacity continue to increase as the country remains a net energy exporter. This webinar analyses past, present and future of the country from an energetic point of view.

Applying science fiction to approach the futureIEA-ETSAP
The document discusses using science fiction to think about future energy systems. It proposes applying system analysis models to explore different technology combinations that meet future energy needs. However, it notes that these models do not consider social factors like behavior and justice. It suggests using genres like climate fiction and solar punk to bring more collective narratives about energy futures. Specifically, it advocates using a hackathon approach to gather knowledge and create imaginary fiction stories around different future scenarios to help build worlds and consider the human aspects of energy system design.
Will it leak?: Discussions of leakage risk from subsurface storage of carbon ...IEA-ETSAP
The document discusses carbon capture and storage (CCS) and the potential risks of leakage from subsurface storage of carbon dioxide. It provides background on CCS, explaining that carbon dioxide is captured from industrial sources and injected underground for permanent storage. It then discusses four main types of potential subsurface leakage: 1) capillary leakage if seal rocks have larger particles, 2) exceeding the fracture gradient of the seal, 3) leakage along or across faults, and 4) leakage from new or legacy boreholes. The document analyzes case studies of both CCS and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects to illustrate examples of each leakage type. It concludes that CCS/CCUS has a low overall risk but is not
Long-Term Decarbonization Pathways In Emerging Economies: Insights From 12 Mo...IEA-ETSAP
This document summarizes the preliminary results of a study comparing long-term decarbonization pathways in 12 developing countries and 2 regions modeled using the Electricity Planning Model. Key findings include:
1) Ambitious decarbonization would require annual investments of 1-3% of GDP, compared to around 1% for business-as-usual scenarios.
2) Renewables, led by solar, would dominate capacity additions. Conventional plants would operate more flexibly to integrate variable renewables.
3) Achieving deep decarbonization would significantly increase energy costs but carbon prices of $20-120/t could enable cost-effective emissions reductions.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Main remarks and future work
In the short-term (2030) the only affordable option consist of pipelines for lower WACC,
while in 2050 both transport options are cost-effective to support the EU+
decarbonization.
Focusing on the consumption, the indirect use of hydrogen is the most affected by North
Arica imports: consumption of synfuels in transport and of heat in industry increase up
to 30%.
Most impacted countries are Spain and Italy (for transport by pipeline) and the UK, the
Netherlands and Poland (for shipping).
Future work: (i) interplay of hydrogen and DAC for decarbonization purposes, (ii) focus
on specific hard-to-abate sectors, (iii) include modelling of off-grid onshore wind plants
to input electrolysers, (iv) evolution of electrolysers.
All the importable hydrogen from North Africa is exploited by EU+ to reach the carbon-
neutrality target by 2050, also in case of higher costs due to lower cooperation, market
weakness and financial risks.
