This timely book addresses the need for further measures to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union, arguing that the EU
Emissions Trading Scheme does not offer sufficient incentives for
the carbon-intensive materials sector. It highlights the challenge
that emissions from industries such as iron and steel, cement and
aluminium, amongst others, pose to the EU's commitment to
significantly cut emissions by 2030. Offering an in-depth review
from an economic and legal perspective, Manuel Haussner explores
these carbon-intensive sectors and their contribution to current
emissions, and provides insightful suggestions on how a
consumption-based carbon charge would create incentives for deep
decarbonisation. He demonstrates how the design of such a charge
would comply with the EU's obligations and WTO's legal
requirements, and illustrates how such a charge would be drafted,
providing guidance on administering carbon taxation and analysing
carbon charges alongside the EU recommended portfolio of policy
instruments. This thought-provoking book will be an essential read
for all policymakers, consultants and practitioners working in
environmental law and policy in the EU. It will also be valuable to
scholars working at the intersections of economics and
environmental and energy law.
