Emission of Emission of Greenhouse GasesGreenhouse Gases

By 2020 there will be a 20% reduction of greenhouse gases' emissions

of the EU member states.

Let's analyze the reduction in the various sectors.

ETS SYSTEM (covering 40% of EU emissions)

Redefinition for the period 2013-2020 of the Emissions Trading scheme.

HOW? Releasing fewer permits to emit from 2013 onwards, so as to achieve by 2020 a cut of 21% of emission levels compared to 2005.

OTHER SECTOR (60% of EU emissions)

For sectors such as:

-transport (except aviation),-construction,-domestic consumption,-agriculture and rubbish.

-It is expected to reduce emissions by 10% compared to the 2005 levels by 2020.

HOW? Through binding national targets.

For Italy, the expected reduction is 13% compared to the 2005 levels.

CO2 Capture and Storage

Promotion of the use of technologies of capture and geological storage of carbon.

HOW? Through the coming emissions trading scheme, they will found 12 demonstrating projects.On the other side the large power plants will have to acquire underground gas storage facilities.
