A too generous supply, however:
The price is not coupled to quantities in circulation.

Discretionary price management mechanism? NO!
2014 Dec. 11thwww.theshiftproject.orgEU ETS Structural Reform
• Predictable Price Trajectory
• Stable
• Rule-Based
• Some fine-tuning by the European Commission from time to time, as usual
30 €

How not to hurt competitiveness?
2014 Dec. 11thwww.theshiftproject.orgEU ETS Structural Reform
Currently, free allocation =
reduced carbon costs
but few to no emission reductions
100% EU-based domestic projects (no international credit) =
reduced carbon costs
and massive emission reductions
Both: Competitiveness and cc mitigation

Closer to a Tax rather thana quantity-based mechanism? No!
2014 Dec. 11thwww.theshiftproject.orgEU ETS Structural Reform
• Similar price management mechanisms are in place in other “quantity-based mechanisms”: o California, Quebec, some Chinese Pilot ETS…
• The market would still determine the price, above a certain price

Impact on Member States budget
2014 Dec. 11thwww.theshiftproject.orgEU ETS Structural Reform
Increase in auction revenues

Impact on relatively low GDP MemberStates
2014 Dec. 11thwww.theshiftproject.orgEU ETS Structural Reform
Increase of the increase in auction revenues, thanks to EU 2030 climate framework redistribution mechanism and associated climate finance

Impact on relatively low GDP MemberStates with CO2 intensive energy mix
2014 Dec. 11thwww.theshiftproject.orgEU ETS Structural Reform
+ +
• EU 2030 climate framework redistribution mechanism+ associated climate finance= Increase of the increase in auction revenues
• Very high carbon price could trigger low-carbon innovative technologies (CCS…)
![Page 19: EU ETS structural reform - Frédéric Dinguirard](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a7d1e71a28ab730f8b46aa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Conclusions: move the ETS from« Quantity Only » mechanism to a « Price Also »
2014 Dec. 11thwww.theshiftproject.orgEU ETS Structural Reform
An appropriate auction reserve price combined with domestic projects could :
Trigger low carbon investments
Coordinate overlapping climate policies in an efficient manner
Ensuring fairness among all Member States
In a simple, predictable, and stable way
