Understanding fuel switching under the EU ETS
Since the creation of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS), European power producers have monitored carbon emissions resulting from the composition of their production. Fuel switching is the main short–term abatement measure under the EU ETS. It consists in substituting combined cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) for hard–coal plants in off–peak power generation. Thereby coal plants run ...
