Abstract

This paper first qualitatively discusses price and quantity based measures for RES-E deployment as well as CO₂ mitigation. A simulation model is further developed to quantitatively discuss the effects of a tradable green certificate system, a tradable CO₂ allowance system and a CO₂ tax on both RES-E deployment and CO₂ mitigation. A three regional model implementation representing the Benelux, France and Germany is used. Significant indirect effects are demonstrated, especially for RES-E supporting measures on the reduction of CO₂ emissions.
