— Brief description on the Emission Trading Agency (DEHSt)
— tasks and functions and timing
NaKo
Single National Entity Federal Environmental Agency (I 4.6)focal point and national coordinationdraft reports
Implementation / update of „Zentralised System on Emission“ ZSEconsistent data management for all existing obligations
Implementation of a „Quality System Emissioninventories“ QSEQA/QS – system
Responsibilities / cooperation regulation on climate statistics (KlimaStatG - in preparation)
NaKo
Quality System Emissions inclusion of whole process determination of methods, data gathering, data processing and estimation,reporting
Should be followed by all participants of the national system agency “in house standard”
(internal regulation)others regulated by “KlimaStatG”

GERMAN EMISSIONS TRADING AUTHORITY: TARGETS
Ambition is to set up Emission Trading as environmentally and economically effective as possible ... that requires ...
— to ensure the ecological integrity of the instrument
— to avoid market distortions
— to minimize transaction costs
— to facilitate the trading by an efficient interaction
between traders, trading platforms and registries

GERMAN EMISSIONS TRADING AUTHORITY: ORGANISATION
GERMAN EMISSIONS TRADING AUTHORITY: TASKS
— to allocate and issue allowances
— to control operator‘s Monitoring Reports
— to operate the ETS Registry (Account management); + Kyoto
— to draft national and international Reports
— to co-operate with the EU and the UNFCCC
— to contribute and to develop future National Allocation Plans
(NAP)
— to support the integration of the Kyoto-Mechanisms (CDM/JI)
LEGAL FRAMEWORK (GERMANY)
— Greenhouse gas emission allowance trading law (TEHG), 15th July, 2004 (legal und institutional basis for ETS)
— Allocation law 2007 (ZuG 2007), 31th August, 2004(ET-Budget and allocation rules for 2005-2007)
— additional ordinances• Allocation Ordinance• Cost Ordinance, 01st Sept., 2004 • Registry Ordinance
GERMAN NAP
— Total amount of allowances to be allocated: 495 million t CO2
annually +3 million tons CO2 national reserve
— Allocation method for existing installations: Grandfathering, based on emissions in 2000-2002
— Allocation method for new entrants: Benchmarking, based on BVT-Benchmarks
— Special rules for early action, process emissions, CHP
TIMETABLE FOR ALLOCATION / ISSUANCE
On the basis of the provisions of the EC Directive and German national legislation (TEHG, ZuG)
(Electronic) Application Procedure
1. January 2005 Start of the first commitment period
Early March, 2005 Issuance of allowances (1st trench)
31. August 2004 – 20. September 2004
21. September 2004 – December 2004
2,300 Applications under examination – allocation of allowances free of charge for the first commitment period 2005
FIRST RESULTS OF ALLOCATION
— 1,849 allocation notices
— total of allowances for 1,485 million tons CO2 for
commitment period2005-2007 (495 million tons per year)
— proposed amount exceeds defined maximal budget by 42 million tons (14 million tons per year, 2.8 %) -> proportionate adjustments for certain installations
— reason: surprisingly high rate of companies applying based on
the allocation rule for „new entrants“ (~ 77 million tons CO2
per year)

Result
We assume some new time series that are yet not estimated, due to detailed information by certain installations
We assume new mapping of fuel types and installations
We do not assume changes in total, pending from monitoring
We are not amused reporting many changes in time series in the next Inventory base year problematic
emission factor set for CO2
comparability issue,
analysis for solid fuels implementation of annual different EF
for brown and hard coal
basic set of EF, taking into account the region and specific fuel
characteristics
annually mixed EF is used in the inventories (basis import statistic)
slightly modifications behind the dot
Interaction between ETS and Inventory (I)
“new” sources
completeness issue,
analysis of information provided by operators for NAP 1
(implemented in the inventories 2006)
limestone and dolomite use: (+ appr. 6 Mio t CO2 1990)
iron and steel
large combustion plants
others (e.g. ceramic industrie)
detailed refinery process: (+ appr. 4 Mio.t CO2 1990)
H2 generation
use of catalysts
reallocation between energy and process related emissions)
Interaction between ETS and Inventory (II)
First: I had a dream…
take validated plant specific information, where available, run statistic
estimates for the remaining sources
but….
No clear information what share of a specific source category is
covered by ETS
future dealing:
use ETS data only for verification and methodological questions
clear need: improved characterization of ETS facilities on detailed level
according to detailed IPCC systematic (checked by the authority)
Methodological: top down vs. bottom up
big issue
treatment on level of operator and authority
For regulation update it would be very helpful to have a EU-given
obligation to use information provided by ETS for the purpose of
improving the emission inventories.
Need: dealing the confidentiality
— harmonized monitoring and reporting on emissions trading in Germany
needs to be established (implementation of EU Monitoring Guidelines,
coordination with international reports on climate protection - national)
— harmonizing Emission and Activity Data of greenhouse gases , CAFE
and ET (EU and national)
— harmonization between ET Monitoring and Energy Balances (national)
FUTURE WORK 2006 – 2007
Thank you very much for your attention!
