Support Actions for the national implementation of the EU Directive on Emissions Trading and the monitoring of measures for the reduction of GHG emissions from the energy sector

During the project, a methodology for the national allocation of greenhouse gases (GHG) emission credits within the framework of the EU-ETS was developed. The methodology comprised an estimation of present and a projection of future GHG emissions at installation and sectoral level, in combination with the national inventory of GHG emissions and their projection under a ‘Business as Usual’ scenario and a ‘With Measures’ scenario. In addition, the rest requirements for the implementation of the EU Emissions Trading Directive were explored (specifications for the national system for reporting GHG emissions from installations falling under the scope of the Directive, mechanism for monitoring and verification of the installations’ GHG emissions, set of incentives – disincentives) and relevant analytic proposals were developed.
