In Sweden, Öresundskraft AB has
increased the capacity of a CHP
plant to produce electricity and
heat by integrating a newly
developed GTX100 gas turbine and
a heat recovery steam generator
into the existing steam turbine
system. The resulting combined-
cycle power station produces
126 MW of electricity and 186
MW of heat. Annual outputs of
electricity and heat are 420 GWh
and 780 GWh, respectively.
The GTX100 uses natural gas from
the existing grid. The dual-fuel
AEV burner can also operate on
diesel, and this is used as the
back-up fuel in an emergency.

A unique voluntary partnership
by W Warren Holmes, Chairman, CIPEC Executive Board
The Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation (CIPEC) remains
a unique example of what can be accomplished through voluntary co-
operation when public and private-sector interests converge.
Industry has embraced CIPEC because of
a growing realisation that what is good
for the environment can also be good for
business. Canadian industrial
establishments have turned to CIPEC in
record numbers for leadership, guidance
and support in their efforts to manage
energy more efficiently. Sector by sector
and company by company, manufacturing
and mining organisations are making
intelligent, voluntary energy management
decisions to adopt energy saving
technology and efficient new processes.
Operations that are seeking to invest in
new energy-related technologies must
compete for limited funds with other
corporate activities, and CIPEC must
continue to provide programmes that
support their efforts to demonstrate that
these technologies will bring adequate
returns as well as environmental benefits.
CIPEC’s relevance has been built on its
ability to offer innovative, cost-effective,
energy management concepts and to
demonstrate effectively the relationship
between energy efficiency and business
success.
Realising the benefits
CIPEC industries have continued to make
a positive contribution to Canada’s efforts
to achieve greater energy efficiency and
reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Between 1990 and 2000, these industries
achieved an average annual aggregate
energy intensity improvement of 2.4%.
This represents an energy saving that is
equivalent to 95% of Canada’s residential
heating demand in 2000. It contributed
significantly to the estimated CAD 1.8
billion (where CAD is the Canadian
dollar) in fuel costs saved by Canadian
industry through effective energy
management in the year 2000.
These energy savings have also had
substantial environmental benefits,
making a significant contribution to
Canada’s efforts to meet its international
climate-change goals. Energy-related
GHG emissions for the period 1990-2000
have essentially stabilised at 1990 levels.
Had there been no energy intensity
improvement between 1990 and 2000,
Canada’s industrial GHG emissions for the
decade would have increased by 27%.
Once again, CIPEC has demonstrated that
voluntary co-operation between business
and government can be a powerful ally in
Canada’s environmental mission.
“Sector by sector and
company by company,
manufacturing and mining
organisations are making
intelligent, voluntary
energy management
decisions to adopt energy
saving technology and
efficient new processes.”
CIPEC also brings great value to
participating industries. The energy
savings that companies have achieved
through the CIPEC programme also
represent cost savings - money that
translates into improved competitiveness
and a healthier bottom line. CIPEC’s
ability to contribute to business success is
the main reason why the organisation
now encompasses 25 industrial sectors, 43
trade associations and more than 95% of
Canada’s overall industrial energy demand.
Setting the standard
The programme’s unrivalled track record
has set the standard for organisations of
its type throughout the world. The CIPEC

concept and its ability to instigate positive
change was affirmed when India chose
the CIPEC model as the basis for the
Indian Industrial Programme for Energy
Conservation (IIPEC).
The IIPEC initiative is part of the India
Facilitation of Private Sector Development
Project, a joint effort by the governments
of India and Canada. The Federation of
Indian Chambers of Commerce and
Industry and the Indian Ministry of Power
are working together to implement the
initiative. Following CIPEC’s lead, IIPEC
will establish a series of energy-
management sector task forces, made up
of representatives from various industries.
Initial IIPEC task forces will include the
cement, pulp and paper, and textiles
sectors. Representatives of the Indian
programme toured Canada and the
facilities of CIPEC partners in April 2002.
Conclusion
CIPEC has proved over more than 25 years
that it is up to the challenge. The
enthusiasm, dedication and commitment
demonstrated on both sides of this unique
private and public-sector partnership has
enabled the programme to overcome
many obstacles in the past. CIPEC is, and
will continue to be, a strong and vital
contributor to Canada’s efforts to meet its
international climate-change goals.

COUNTRY FOCUS
by the CADDET UK
National Team
The UK Emissions Trading Scheme was launched on 2 April 2002 after more than two years of debate. The
scheme is a key part of the UK Government’s Climate Change Programme. It is also the world’s first greenhouse
gas emissions trading initiative to cover a broad range of sectors. Similar schemes are being introduced at EU
level (from 2006 onwards), and global emissions trading under the Kyoto Protocol will start in 2008.
What is the UK Emissions
Trading Scheme?
Greenhouse gases have the same
environmental impact regardless of where
geographically they enter the atmosphere.
If a group of companies is given an overall
emissions target, it doesn't matter how
much an individual company emits, as long
as the overall target is met. An emissions
trading scheme is a way of setting an
overall target covering a group of emitters
and then letting each business decide, in a
flexible way, how to achieve its own target.
Emissions trading will allow organisations to
reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases
in the most economically efficient way.
Participation in the scheme is voluntary, and
there are three main ways to enter:
• Direct Participants agree to make
absolute reductions in their greenhouse
gas emissions (taking average
emissions for the period 1998-2000 as
the baseline). In return, the
Government pays them a fixed price
for every tonne by which CO2
emissions are reduced. At a competitive
auction during March 2002, 34
industrial, commercial and public sector
organisations agreed to legally binding
targets for emissions reduction. The
total amount pledged by government is
GBP 215 million (where GBP is the UK
pound), and the agreed CO2 emissions
reduction is 4 million tonnes over the
five years of the scheme.

The UK Emissions
Trading Scheme
gets under way
• Companies involved in Climate Change
Agreements (which include emissions or
energy targets) will be able to buy
allowances to help them to meet those
targets. However, if they more than
meet their targets, they will be able to
sell the surplus reductions achieved.
Climate Change Agreements are
mandatory and affect thousands of
companies in a wide range of
manufacturing sectors.
• Companies will also be able to undertake
specific UK-based projects to reduce
emissions. They will earn credits from
this and will be able to sell those credits
into the scheme. Other companies can
buy the credits to help them to meet
their emissions-reduction targets.
What happened in the
competitive auction?
The price per tonne (t) of CO2 emissions
reduction to be paid to the Direct
Participants was set by the Government
and was different for each round of the
auction. In the first round, the price was
set, effectively at the high level of
GBP 90/tCO2. It fell during subsequent
rounds, with participants either rebidding
during successive rounds or, alternatively,
dropping out. Bidding stopped when
total payments for all the bids were the
same as the amount pledged by
Government for the scheme
(GBP 215 million). The bid value at this
point was GBP 53/t and was equivalent to
Issue 3/02
a total bid volume of 4 million tonnes
CO2 emissions. The value of each bidding
round is shown in Fig 1.
In theory, companies might be expected
to make more emissions-reduction bids at
a high price per tonne than at a lower
price. For instance, at GBP 90/tCO2,
investment in additional emissions
abatement would become cost-effective,
while the possible risks of making the
commitment to reduce emissions would
be small. Therefore, the level of
emissions bidding could be expected to
drop with the fall in price in successive
auction rounds.
In practice, the successive rounds showed
little variation in the volumes bid (Fig 2),
with companies apparently ignoring the
price signal.

Influence of the large
players on the market
Under the auction rules, no single
company could receive more than 20% of
the total auction budget (GBP 43 million
or 805,000 tonnes CO2 at the final
settlement price). Furthermore, it seems
that some of the larger players, although
able to offer significantly higher emissions
reductions, may have limited their bids,
reserving some of their planned
reductions for sale on the market. This is
likely to suppress future market prices.
There is an expectation that the voluntary
nature of the scheme is likely to attract
sellers to the market, as it favours
companies that have already made
emissions reductions relative to the base-
line period. As a result, many
commentators believe that the market
may become oversupplied, forcing down
the eventual price (current predictions are
typically in the range GBP 3-5/tCO2).
The relationship between the auction
settlement price and the expected market
price is complex. Because the auction
price is paid out only on incremental
improvements each year and not on the
total improvement relative to the baseline,
the value of the auction settlement price
is actually only three times the market
price. In other words, the auction value
of GBP 53/tCO2 is equivalent to
GBP 12-18/tCO2 in market value terms,
depending on the tax treatment.
However, the link between the auction
90 100
settlement price and the market price is
tenuous, because the value of a tonne of
carbon on the market is related to the
margin by which companies are either
beating or missing their targets. The fact
that the bid volumes did not change
significantly in response to the price
signal suggests that companies are not
pushing the boundaries on what they
expect to achieve in terms of emissions
reductions. This supports the case that
the market may be oversupplied, keeping
the price low.
What does this mean for
the future of the scheme?
If the above analysis is correct, and the
eventual market price is as low as
GBP 3-5/tCO2, this may be seen as
limiting the effectiveness of the carbon
market on the way business operates,
since investment decisions are not being
significantly altered by factoring in the
price of carbon. Therefore, the new
carbon market would not stimulate
much new investment in emissions
abatement.
If this is so, it implies that the level of
trading will be limited, at least in the
early years of the scheme. It also opens
up the scheme to criticism that any
environmental benefits are being
undermined because the market is
flooded with allowances generated
under ‘business as usual’ actions.
However, some significant successes are
resulting from the auction. There were
bids for a greater volume of emissions
reduction, with more companies
becoming involved, than had been
expected. The auction has also proved
successful in kick-starting certain market
mechanisms (eg trading and verification
services) that will be needed as the
carbon market develops.

An architectural
approach to
energy efficiency
News from Canada
Sir Sandford Fleming College, Canada
The new, 4,600 m2 high-tech wing of Sir
Sandford Fleming College, Peterborough,
Canada, houses engineering, computer
and information technology laboratories.
From the start, the architect aimed to use
architectural design as the primary
strategy for energy efficiency and to
integrate the supporting engineering
systems (eg electrical lighting with
daylighting and HVAC with natural
ventilation). For example, the galleria,
which acts as the main circulation avenue
in the new wing, has a glass-vaulted
skylight roof to maximize daylighting but
also works together with the three
thermal chimneys, clerestory windows and
sunshades to assist in natural ventilation.
Computer simulations suggest that the
building will achieve a performance that is
36% better than the Model National
Energy Code for Buildings and Houses.
The project has won a Commercial Building
Incentive Program award for energy
efficiency. The Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources invited the design team to
Canada’s Energy Conference 2000. There,
they participated in workshops to consider
ways of improving energy efficiency.
The design has been showcased by the
Canadian Wood Council, the Ontario
Ministry of Natural Resources and a major
energy company. It has also been
selected as one of the Canadian projects
to be exhibited at the Sustainable Design
2002 Conference in Oslo, Norway.

refrigerators);
• promoting the use of automatic

Managing the GEF
The GEF is managed by a Steering
Committee, an Administrative Team,
NGOs, companies and KEMCO’s Group
Co-operation Team.
The Korean Government provides:
• low-interest loans for rationalising
energy use and tax reductions for new
investments;
• technical and advisory support on
demand side management, energy use
patterns etc;
• publicity for participating bodies (mainly
NGOs).
Any office, factory, building or company
can take part and, by 2001, 921
companies at 1,724 sites had joined the
GEF: 565 in Green Lighting, 135 in Green
Motor, 93 in Green Energy Design and
128 in Green Cooling.
Energy conservation is perceived to be not
only a matter of cost reduction but also a
moral duty. By integrating energy
conservation with economic and
environmental imperatives, KEMCO is
helping to create conditions for
sustainable development.
