3. A structured policy approach is needed A simple, high profile and credible target for the renewables’ share of power generation, supported by a range of incentives to encourage investment. Measures to incentivise new fuels based on their “well-to-wheels” CO 2 reduction potential, implementation of vehicle efficiency standards and vehicle/road-use programs targeted at drivers A series of robust energy standards for buildings, appliances etc. with incentives for retrofit of existing infrastructure. "Cap and trade" emissions trading systems for power generators, most industrial facilities and large fleet transport such as aviation.
4. Emissions Trading or “Cap-and-trade” Initial emissions 100 Mt p.a. Year 5 at 95 Year 15 at 80 Year 10 at 88 Offsets Allowance trading between facilities $ CO 2 Government issues 88 million allowances into the economy CCS Project Efficiency Project

6. The new flow of capital in the economy CO 2 Goods and services pass into the economy, with the price of CO 2 embedded Emitters buy allowances from the government through auction Government recycles auction revenue to consumers through the tax system

8. The CO 2 price and allocation Points of regulation Resource Power Generation Factories Heavy industry Light industry Consumer Electricity Time CO 2 price impact Free allocation early on as little / no price pass through Progressive shift to auctioning as the CO 2 price impacts the economy Full auctioning as the CO 2 price impacts the entire value chain Auction funds recycled to consumers through the tax system
