Perspective

As the UK Government produced market data putting the global market value of the low carbon and environmental goods and services sector at around 3 trillion pounds in 2007/8 (over Aus $6 trillion (www.berr.gov.uk) Environment Business Australia's forum on building new markets, new industries and new jobs highlighted some of the ways forward for Australian business.

At the same time EBA has rejected calls for the deferral of the introduction of an Australian carbon emissions trading scheme. EBA CEO, Fiona Wain said comments by the CEO of Australian Industry Group Heather Ridout that Australia should stall on climate change action (ABC's 7.30 Report Thursday 12 March) were illogical and not representative of Australian business as a whole. "The economic repercussions of climate change could make current turmoil on financial and economic markets look like a Sunday afternoon picnic", Ms Wain said. The 'action now' message is reinforced by leading climate change scientists meeting in Copenhagen, she said. "Revised predictions coming from these scientists today that sea level may rise by up to 2m by the end of the century, highlight the urgency of action", she said. "Water, food production, health and international security are all at risk.

"There is no two years' slow time available to us. Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are already in the danger zone (455 ppm in 2006, IPCC data). Either we act now or we hand away our options". The EBA CEO said investment into combating climate change is an important part of helping various sectors of industry make the transition to the severe decline of economic markets. This is a focus of the United Nation's 'Global green new deal' approach to revitalising financial and economic markets.

Suggestions that companies will relocate overseas because of an emissions trading scheme glossed over some fundamentally important questions.

  • How many companies with a reputation to protect are likely to seek a licence to pollute from their shareholders, investors, bankers and insurers, and abandon sunk assets, good resources, skilled staff and robust infrastructure to move off-shore looking for short-term and unguaranteed protection from a price on carbon?
  • Where is the consideration that international investors and consumers are increasingly demanding goods and services with a low/no carbon footprint?
  • What is the risk profile for amortisation of new long-term infrastructure in countries that have less stable economies/political regimes?
  • How much research has gone into when these 'other' countries are likely to enter the carbon market because of the technology and capital flows that will ensue?

Draft CPRS legislation
The Department of Climate Change require submissions to be sent in by 14 April. There's a lot to read and little time to do it in, but it is important to maintain the timing so that the CPRS can start as scheduled in 2010. Is it perfect? No. Can it be amended to better incorporate the solutions that the environment industry has to offer? We believe so. EBA members who wish to have their issues incorporated in the EBA submission are invited to send their comments by 7 April to eba@environmentbusiness.com.au

Stop the haggling and say yes to Green Transformers
The City of Sydney has called on the Federal Government and businesses to support its initiative to shift to energy generated by gas as part of the solution to lowering future greenhouse gas emissions. The Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP said that proven schemes for attacking climate change should not be allowed to be sidelined by the indecision on the right formula for an Emissions Trading Scheme and differing views on the speed of the move to renewables to lower carbon energy ... Ms Moore said, "We want to install infrastructure hubs to reinvent the supply of energy and water in a number of sites across the City - urban renewal areas as well as existing residential and commercial areas ... Green Transformers will progressively provide 70 per cent of the electricity requirements for the City - leading to a 35 per cent reduction in greenhouse intensity by the year 2030. The by-products of this co-generation could provide hot water, heating, and cooling to approximately 35 per cent of all dwellings in the City and 43 per cent of all non-residential buildings in the City, thereby reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions and electricity consumption...In the first instance the green transformer installations would be small, but increase to 25 MW by 2015, and then by an additional 20 MW each year for the next 15 years. At their peak they would be capable of producing 330 megawatts of natural gas generation.

Renewable energy project making waves in Victoria
19 March 2009. The Brumby Government has approved a renewable energy pilot project in Victoria's coastal waters. Environment and Climate Change Minister Gavin Jennings said the Government supported the development of a wave energy pilot in waters around Portland, Warrnambool and Phillip Island. Carnegie Corporation has received approval under the Coastal Management Act 1995 to use and develop coastal Crown land for three pilot projects, undertake a marine survey and trial its ocean based technology, called CETO. Mr Jennings said "The trial will identify the most energy intensive areas of our oceans so that their potential for generating electricity can be determined. When operating at full capacity, CETO technology can generate electricity and desalinate sea water by pumping high pressure water ashore and harnessing the water's pressure to turn turbines on land. If the trial is successful, Carnegie Corporation would be required to apply for approval to begin a full demonstration. Energy and Resources Minister Peter Batchelor said ... "We have made $72 million available to support large-scale demonstrations of leading sustainable energy technologies, such as solar, geothermal, biomass conversion, wave technology and energy storage,"... "Also, our Victorian Renewable Energy Target (VRET) has already attracted $2 billion in renewable energy investment and will create more than 2000 jobs."

Australia News

Treaties report on the Kyoto Protocol - House of Representatives
19 March 2009. The Chair of the Parliament's Treaties Committee, Kelvin Thomson MP, released the Committee's report into the Kyoto Protocol. The report uses the most up to date scientific evidence to make recommendations about how Australia should approach the climate change problem in the post-Kyoto world. "The Report shows that climate change is happening faster and at lower levels of CO2 than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been predicting. The scientific consensus is that it would be dangerous to allow the amount of carbon in the atmosphere to exceed 450 parts per million," Mr Thomson said. "After examining the evidence, we have concluded that it is in Australia's interests to get global action delivering deep cuts in carbon emissions in order to stabilise greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at 450 parts per million or lower by 2050."

The Committee argues that the world cannot meet the 450 parts per million or lower figure unless the developed countries are willing to cut greenhouse gases by 80 per cent by 2050. "The Committee recommends the Australian Government be willing to adopt an 80 per cent target and take that target as a negotiating position to Copenhagen in December this year," Mr Thomson continued. The Committee has also recommended the Australian Government investigate using revegetation as an adaptation mechanism to reduce temperature and increase rainfall in applicable parts of Australia. "Retaining native vegetation, and indeed re-establishing native vegetation, is something we can do in Australia to help our situation here - this is something we can do for ourselves," said Mr Thomson. Report 100 is available on the Committee's website: www.aph.gov.au or by contacting the Committee Secretariat on (02) 6277 4002.

Linking the Australian Emissions Trading Schemes
Climate Strategies has published a new Working Paper "Linking the Australian Emissions Trading Schemes" written by Frank Jotzo; Australian National University and Regina Betz; University of New South Wales, which evaluates the proposed Australian scheme with regard to international emissions trading and linkages. The report can be downloaded from: www.climatestrategies.org

Global green trade war fear
Lenore Taylor, National correspondent, The Australian 20 March 2009
FEARS are rising of a global green trade war if Copenhagen climate change talks fail, after US Energy Secretary Stephen Chu suggested the Obama administration would consider "carbon tariffs" against countries that had not put a cost on pollution when the US introduced its emissions trading regime. "If other countries don't impose a cost on carbon, then we will be at a disadvantage ... (and) we would look at considering perhaps duties that would offset that cost," Mr Chu told a house science panel. Mr Chu said a carbon tariff would help "level the playing field" if other countries hadn't put a cost on carbon when a US emission trading regime came in. Climate Change Minister Penny Wong said protectionist carbon tariffs could be "very costly for a small, open economy like Australia" and would in any event be very difficult to administer...

...The debate over green protectionism came as The Climate Institute think-tank claimed major Australian corporations had been "loose with the truth" because they had protested at the allegedly crippling cost of emissions trading while failing to implement relatively inexpensive energy efficiency measures that could save them between $28million and $62 million a year.

Analysing figures the companies must supply under a law enacted by the Howard government, the Climate Institute has calculated that 20 of Australia's biggest polluters had identified, but not implemented, energy efficiency measures that could reduce emissions by 1.2 million tonnes a year.

That means that under an emissions trading scheme, the measures could save the companies $28 million a year at a low $23 a tonne carbon price.

Bluescope Steel could save at least $6 million a year, according to the calculations. Analysis by Innovest late last year revealed Bluescope would receive more than $170 million in government compensation in the scheme's first year in 2010.

BHP Billiton could save $3.8million a year and Rio Tinto $3.7million. Alcoa, whose jobs loss claims were used by the Opposition in its political attack on the ETS, could save $3.7 million a year. Xstrata, which has claimed 1000 job losses, did not provide enough information under the mandatory reporting scheme to be included in the analysis.

The Business Council of Australia, one of the few leading business groups that has not called for the ETS to be delayed, said businesses were deferring decisions on energy-efficient investments because of the lack of certainty about national climate change policy.

...In Australia, the cement industry, the food and grocery industry and the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union have expressed support for a carbon tariff on imports. Source: www.theaustralian.news.com.au

Victorian Government to fund new large-scale solar power station
11 March 2009. The State Government will provide up to $100 million to develop a new large-scale solar power station in Victoria, Premier John Brumby announced. "Our Government is taking action to change Victoria's energy mix and promote renewable energy and we will be seeking proposals for a solar power station which can produce about 330GWh of electricity per year or enough power to run 50,000 homes," Mr Brumby said..."Solar has huge potential in Victoria and large-scale solar is the most economical form of solar energy generation which is why we are providing this funding. "This project is expected to drive investment and create jobs in regional Victoria. "Expressions of interest will be called for immediately and the aim will be to have the plant operating by 2015." Mr Brumby said the Victorian Government funding would be subject to the project receiving matching funding from the Federal Government. "This Government is supporting the full spectrum of solar generation and has provided a $6 million grant for the Organic Solar R&D project and $50 million through our Energy Technology Innovation Strategy for the Solar Systems 154MW large-scale solar plant near Mildura," he said.

VCS Registry System The Voluntary Carbon Standard Association (VCSA) launched its start-of-the-art global registry and project database system. The VCS Registry System, which includes the VCS Project Database, ensures all carbon credits generated under the VCS Program - Voluntary Carbon Units (VCUs) - can be tracked from issuance to retirement. It is a key part of the VCS Program which ensures that all VCUs are real, measurable, additional, permanent, independently verified, unique and traceable. Three international companies are contracted to act as VCS Registries for the VCS Program: APX Inc. (a leading environmental market infrastructure provider in North America), Caisse des Depots (a leading French financial institution and developer of CO2 registries in Europe), and TZ1 (a leading international financial markets meta-registry in the US, UK and Asia Pacific). VCS Registries will issue, hold, transfer and retire VCUs representing one tonne of greenhouse gas reduction or removal. The registries will interact directly with the VCS Project Database, which can be viewed publicly (www.vcsprojectdatabase.com) to upload project documentation and obtain unique serial numbers for each VCU. Together, the infrastructure provided by the global registries and the database provides a transparent, robust and scalable chain of custody for the voluntary carbon market.

Inedible Shrub Can Make 'Green Gold' in the Tropics
By Richard Maino, London Press Service. 19 March 2009.

A seemingly useless plant that grows on barren land could help to power the world. The bush's leaves and seeds are unpalatable to humans and animals but its oil-rich seeds can be crushed to produce today's new "green gold" - biodiesel. The bush - Jatropha curcas - flourishes on a variety of soils including marginal land that will not support arable crops, therefore widespread development would not be a threat to good agricultural areas or to forests through clearance. The remarkable biofuel potential of the jatropha plant is a recent discovery. Several major nations are planning or have started to grow the hardy perennial shrub. Now, a leading biofuels technology company - D1 Oils plc of the UK - is to carry out trials in Indonesia and other suitable countries to assess the cultivation potential of jatropha, D1's principal biodiesel crop, in poor soil conditions on the island of Sumatra.

GreenFacts summary of FAO report on Forests & Energy
Brussels, 17 March 2009. Rising food prices have fuelled controversy about the production of liquid biofuels for transport. Currently, biofuels are produced from food crops, such as sugar cane or rape seed, and have been criticized for yielding low economic and environmental benefits compared to fossil fuels. If sustainably managed, large forested areas could serve as a source for a new generation of biofuels derived from wood that is better than current biofuels from food crops in terms of energy efficiency, environmental benefits and socio-economical impacts. This is one of the conclusions of a recent report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. The FAO called upon GreenFacts, an independent non-profit organization based in Brussels, to provide the general public with a plain-language version of its 2008 report on "Forests and Energy, Key Issues". The full summary is accessible free of charge at www.greenfacts.org/en/forests-energy

USA EPA's New Regulation for Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
"Monitoring and reporting of emissions is a critical step in laying the foundation for successful climate policy in the United States. In order to be effective, climate policies require accurate and reliable emissions data," said Pankaj Bhatia, director of the GHG Protocol Initiative at the World Resources Institute (WRI). In December 2007, the U.S. Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, which directed the EPA to establish mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from appropriate sources in all sectors of the U.S. economy. The EPA will soon begin tracking emissions from sources such as power plants, factories, and oil refineries as a step toward reducing U.S. emissions. Many of these sources do not currently track or report this information. WRI's GHG Protocol Initiative has been developing standards for greenhouse gas monitoring and reporting and promoting their broad use worldwide for 10 years. Hundreds of companies in the U.S. and around the world are now reporting their GHG emissions on a voluntary basis using the Protocol's standards and calculation tools, facilitating the move to mandatory reporting. For more information, please contact: Paul Mackie, Director of Media Relations. Tel: +1 202-729-7684 pmackie@wri.org

McKinsey's four tools to halve emissions
The world can halve emissions of greenhouse gases by 2030, largely using existing technologies, McKinsey director Jeremy Oppenheim told a high-powered climate symposium in Washington D.C. Oppenheim said such a reduction would "be compatible" with an approach to eventual stabilisation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at 450ppm after an initial "overshoot" to 510ppm. A reduction of global emissions from 70Gt now to about 35Gt was "astonishing" but would be "eminently achievable if we choose to go after it", he told the invitation-only event on Capitol Hill. The solution "boils down to four things and four things only", he said:

  • a "massive commitment" to energy efficiency;
  • a "massive commitment to getting on top of land use and forestry, otherwise we get nowhere close to the abatement we require";
  • a transformation of the power sector; and
  • "tough enough targets to stimulate a wave of creativity and innovation and entrepreneurship that is going to drive a new wave of technologies through".


Narrow cost-benefit analysis, not the task, Stern says
Lord Nicholas Stern told the Washington D.C. symposium the task of responding to climate change is about managing the risk of the "large probability of a catastrophic outcome". That is a "different question from turning this into a narrow cost-benefit analysis", he said. "The risks involved in this are so large ... that we have to see it directly as a risk management problem" and consider what sort of "insurance premiums" we are prepared to pay, he said. Stern said that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to build at current levels over the century then that would imply a high probability "of ending up with warming of more than 5oC". The symposium also featured the first major public speech by U.S. climate negotiator Todd Stern.
