摘要
The EU's new energy and environment policy - agreed by government leaders in their Council meeting in March 2007 - established a political agenda to tackle three core energy objectives: sustainability, economic competitiveness and security of supply. A triad of specific policies addresses these challenges: first, the 20/20/20 targets of the EU; then, the Second Strategic Energy Review of the European Commission; and finally, plans to liberalise energy markets. The European Union's 鈥?0/20/20鈥?targets for 2020: reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20%comparing with 1990 level (to become a 30%reduction if other major global economies join), increase the share of renewables in the final energy consumption to 20%and to achieve 20%improvement in energy efficiency compared to the level in 2020 if existing trends were to continue.
The aim of the paper is to analyse the feasibility of EU to implement 20/20/20 targets under the various international GHG trading regimes. GHG trading regimes were addressed by developing 10 energy scenarios until 2020 for EU by applying several energy modelling tools ranging from top down partial equilibrium to detailed technology based bottom up models.
