Intersentia Ltd European Energy Law Report XIV
Book SynopsisThe European Energy Law Reports are an initiative taken by the organisers of the European Energy Law Seminar which has been organised on an annual basis since 1989 at Noordwijk aan Zee in the Netherlands. The aim of this seminar is to present an overview of the most important legal developments in the field of international, EU and national energy and climate law. Whereas the first seminars concentrated on the developments at EC level, which were the results of the establishment of an Internal Energy Market, the focus has now gradually switched to the developments at the national level following the implementation of the EU Directives with regard to the internal electricity and gas markets. This approach can also be found in these reports.This volume includes chapters on "Developments in the EU and EU Energy Law", "EU Case Law", "New Developments in Cross-Border Energy Governance", "Energy Communities" and "Clean Hydrogen: Regulatory Frameworks".Table of ContentsIntroduction (p. 1) PART I.

Intersentia Ltd Harmonisation in EU Environmental and Energy Law
Book SynopsisThe book addresses the most pertinent theoretical and practical issues affecting the broad topic of harmonisation in the fields of environmental and energy law in a comprehensive and critical manner. In this respect, it constitutes a timely and meaningful contribution to the ongoing debate on the conceptual underpinnings, legal techniques and sector-specific problems concerned, while enriching the debate and promoting a more enhanced, coordinated regime to tackle environmental and energy issues in the European Union. Environmental legislation is often incoherent and fragmented, creating hurdles to its effective application. Consequently, rule makers need to resort to harmonisation, which is seen as referring to a number of techniques and instruments that all aim to clarify rules and establish a more coherent and solid legal framework. The book examines the merits of this approach within the context of the European Green Deal and the increasing urgency of the environmental and climate crisis, as well as the obstacles encountered and the questions arising from these complex processes. By bringing together more than fifteen renowned experts in the fields of European environmental and energy law, this book aims to dissect the most critical aspects of and obstacles in the process of strengthening coordination and, ultimately, effectiveness of the existing legal regimes in the field of environmental and energy law in the European Union while sparking further research in the field. Harmonisation in EU Environmental and Energy Law is highly recommended reading for legal scholars specialising in European environmental and energy law, as well as practitioners working in these fields.Table of ContentsIntroduction (p. 1) PART I.

Intersentia Ltd Freedom of Environmental Information: Aspirations
Book SynopsisThis book explores the right of access to environmental information, considering both the environmental aspirations which underlie the right and how far these are evidenced in the right's use in practice. The right has a history separate from wider moves towards freedom of information. From its origins in the Rio Declaration to its current embodiment in the Aarhus Convention, a key aim of the right is to promote environmental governance and protect the environment through the provision of environmental information, both proactively and upon request. However, there is little empirical evidence to show whether the right is achieving these environmental aims, if it is being used for its intended environmental purpose, or even how far it is being viewed as distinct from the general right to information. This book seeks to fill this gap through qualitative research conducted in Scotland, the findings of which highlight that individuals who seek environmental information under the right are often doing so for personal or professional reasons that do not further the right's environmental purpose. This is significant, because if the right is not being used for its intended environmental purpose, then its contribution to environmental governance can be questioned, as can the value of maintaining this specific right, distinct from wider freedom of information laws. This book analyses the mismatch between the intended and actual use of the right through the lens of Actor-Network Theory. By tracing the associations between different actors that engage with each other in relation to environmental information, it identifies various unspoken assumptions within the right to environmental information that impact on its implementation and ability to achieve its environmental aims. In particular, the right's overly-simplified conceptualisation of the individuals and public authorities who engage with the right and its failure to consider the impact of non-human actors are identified as key unspoken assumptions in the operation and shaping of the right. The fact that the environment itself has such a low profile in the operation of the right is also noted. By engaging with and challenging these unspoken assumptions, Freedom of Environmental Information: Aspirations and Practice provides a unique insight into the operation and fundamental aims of the right of access to environmental information. By identifying the mismatch between aspirations and practice, the book provides a novel insight into this critical aspect of environmental governance and provides a foundation for further inquiry into and critique of the right to access environmental information.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The International Politics of Climate Change
Book SynopsisThis highly topical collection, edited by two accomplished academics, explores how environmental science and energy policy relate to international politics and policy. This complex and essentially interdisciplinary subject has been the core about which academics have fiercely debated and, as yet, unsuccessfully reached satisfactory negotiations. The editors interpret the politics of climate change as being driven less by scientific understanding than by disguised interests and deeply believed norms. The carefully selected papers in this volume both analyse and advocate policies that claim to be directed towards ?combating man-made global warming? and hence ‘?save the planet?’.Trade Review‘The erudite account provided by the volume paints a vivid picture of the growing role that the environment plays in the study of international politics. In this respect, the essays included in this collection would be of relevance not only to scholars and students of international relations, but also to those interested in environmental history, comparative politics, and international political economy.’ -- CEU Political Science Journal‘Through a collection of groundbreaking articles, Aynsley Kellow and Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen reveal the full complexity of the global politics of climate change.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Myths and Realities of Business Environmentalism:
Book SynopsisMany businesses profess to be voluntarily taking steps to protect the environment, and going beyond compliance with environmental regulations to do so. Kurt Strasser evaluates these claims in this timely and cutting-edge inquiry.The author begins by analyzing whether firms with business environmentalism programs have better environmental performance records than others. He finds that the record is mixed and complex. Yet these kinds of programs are important, he argues, even if to date they have been only partially successful. He goes on to explore what policies should be adopted to promote and channel business environmentalism. The book concludes with a case study of the business community s efforts to mitigate climate change.A nuanced look at an issue of growing concern, this volume will be of great value to anyone concerned with corporate social responsibility, whether it be from a law, business, NGO or government perspective.Contents: Preface 1.

Globe Law and Business Ltd Risk and Energy Infrastructure: Cross-Border
Book SynopsisThis book examines the spectrum of risks posed to the development, financing, construction and operation of trans-boundary energy infrastructure and the tools that may be deployed to manage these risks. The book begins by examining trends in trans-boundary energy infrastructure and the nature of the risks – non-technical, technical and financing – which infrastructure development projects and existing operations must anticipate and manage. Individual categories of intergovernmental and host government risk will be viewed from the perspectives of leading international experts. These risks, and the tools applied to manage them, will also be viewed from the different viewpoints of the state and private sector counterparties, lenders, affected communities and other interested third parties, such as indigenous communities, individual landowners and the non-governmental organisations that typically represent their interests. Against a backdrop of global energy supply/demand dislocations, fragility in the global financial markets, increasing awareness of the impact of projects on individuals, communities and the environment (especially in the wake of the recent BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico), and medium to longer-term concerns about security of supply and climate change, it is increasingly clear that the bandwidth of risks which infrastructure developers, operators and their advisers now need to be aware of is becoming much broader.Trade ReviewOverall this book is an excellent exposition of the risks surrounding major energy infrastructure projects, and would be a useful addition to the reading list of anyone who is involved in the design, construction, operation or financing of these projects. -- Craig Jones * Sullivan and Cromwell, Global Energy Review *Table of ContentsExecutive summary 5 Introduction 13 Thomas J Dimitroff Infrastructure Development Partnership LLP Part 1: Macro-considerations Macro-risks after the panic of 2008 17 Kevin Gardiner Barclays Wealth Political risk in large projects 33 Arve Thorvik Thorvik International Consulting Part 2: Cross-border dimensions Multilateral and bilateral investment agreements 51 Tom Cummins Ronnie King Ashurst LLP Intergovernmental agreements 73 Katie Baehl R Coleson Bruce George F Goolsby Baker Botts LLP Trans-boundary energy projects and maritime transport risk 91 Glen Plant Legal consultant Cross-border regulatory risk: the EU exemption regime 129 Leigh Hancher Allen & Overy LLP Part 3: Host state perspectives Host government agreements: the investor perspective 145 Charles Lindsay Allen & Overy LLP Tax risks 159 Stuart F Schaffer Baker Botts LLP A host state perspective on risk 173 Judith H Kim Geoffrey Picton-Turbervill Ashurst LLP Part 4: The investor and other stakeholder perspectives Joint venture risks and responsibilities 183 Thomas J Dimitroff Infrastructure Development Partnership LLP Project finance and risk mitigation 201 William E Browning Infrastructure Development Partnership LLP Alexandre Chavarot William J Clinton Foundation Technical and operational risk 221 Deborah L Grubbe Operations and Safety Solutions, LLC Holistic project management and risk 229 William E Browning Yashar Latifov Infrastructure Development Partnership LLP A strategic approach to environmental and social impact assessments 239 David Blatchford Martin Lednor Infrastructure Development Partnership LLP Security risk management 257 Anthony FS Ling LPD Strategic Risk Ltd Risk, project-affected communities and their land 273 Henry Thompson Oxania Ltd About the authors 295

Globe Law and Business Ltd Minerals and Mining: A Practical Global Guide
Book SynopsisMinerals and mining are key to the world economy. The mining and processing of minerals are major sources of income and employment in some states. Minerals are used to make goods, materials and energy which are essential to people and economies worldwide. The exploration and exploitation of minerals, and related technical, commercial and legal matters, are continuously developing. They are affected by scientific and technological advances, and by increasing legal and other requirements. Such requirements relate to health, safety, the environment, climate change and social responsibility, and to a balanced distribution of risks, costs and benefits between mining companies, public authorities and local communities. This practical handbook describes the main regulations and agreements on minerals and mining activities in a number of significant mining nations. Each chapter - written by leading professionals in the field, including from Allen & Overy, SNR Denton and Webber Wentzel - covers the same topics for ease of reference. Topics featured include international and national regulations and agreements on minerals and mining; legal instruments such as licences, concessions, production sharing agreements and mining development agreements; mining projects and related agreements and financing; mining management and operating agreements; sale and purchase of mining assets; mineral trading; environmental protection and liability; social responsibility; taxation and government take.

Globe Law and Business Ltd Dispute Resolution in the Energy Sector: A
Book SynopsisThe international energy industry frequently gives rise to complex, high-value disputes. As economic and commercial circumstances change, joint venture partners may disagree over operations, sellers and buyers may manoeuvre to amend pricing terms and states may seek to improve their take from investment projects. Any of these outcomes can have significant consequences for the long-term prospects of companies operating in the sector. These are just some of the issues covered by this new title, which provides a practical, user-friendly overview of the essentials of dispute resolution in the energy industry. Leading practitioners from international law firms and global companies consider, among other things, the drafting of dispute resolution clauses, the effective use of international arbitration, the management of large-scale energy disputes, and the development of case law in oil and gas disputes, construction disputes, environmental disputes and disputes arising in the nuclear sector.

Globe Law and Business Ltd Brazilian Midstream and Downstream Oil and Gas: A
Book SynopsisOver the past decade, upstream activities have increased significantly in Brazil. However, companies that succeed in finding oil or gas are faced with a myriad of questions to consider. Can they export their hydrocarbons? Do they have the necessary infrastructure in place? Do they need to build this? If so, how? Can they refine their products in Brazil? What is the market for those products? What regulation is involved? How can they reach the final consumer in the petrol station? This practical new handbook aims to provide the answers to each of these questions.

Globe Law and Business Ltd Energy from Waste: A Practical Handbook
Book SynopsisGenerating energy from waste is an attractive solution, as governments around the world grapple with the challenges of providing energy security, mitigating carbon emissions and disposing of increasing waste volume. It offers the possibility of recovering energy from resources that would otherwise be landfilled and contributing to renewable energy generation capacity. A number of different technologies are available, but developing waste-to-energy projects can be complex and can sometimes meet with public opposition. Successful delivery of a waste-to-energy project requires careful structuring and a good understanding of how both the power generation sector and the waste management industry operate and are regulated. Understand this increasingly important and diverse sector with this authoritative title, which features contributions from operators of energy-from-waste plants, engineering firms that have built energy-from-waste plants, consultancies and law firms. Chapters are written by practitioners with many years of experience of working on energy-from-waste projects. The book covers the policy framework within which the sector operates in the United Kingdom, the main technologies currently available, the main issues that need to be addressed when developing a project (eg, structuring, site selection and planning), construction issues and issues for funders and investors, as well as key commercial issues such as securing feedstocks and exit routes for outputs. The focus is on the practical elements of energy-from-waste projects, to help you advise your clients on their actual concerns. The book provides a thorough insight into the practicalities and complexities of developing and operating an energy-from-waste project and forms a useful source of reference for anyone involved in the sector, including lawyers, financiers, developers, engineers, consultants and accountants.Table of ContentsForeword 5 Angus Evers King & Wood Mallesons SJ Berwin Adam Read Anastasia Sousanoglou Ricardo – AEA Part I – Introduction Why energy from waste? 9 Adam Read Ricardo – AEA Part II – Regulation and policy Policy drivers, incentives and complexities of the EfW market 19 Faisal Qayium Mark Ramsay Adam Read Ricardo – AEA Issues for funders and investors 33 Nigel Mattravers Independent waste consultant Part III – Energy from waste technologies and issues arising from them Conventional incineration 45 Jarno Stet City of Westminster Advanced thermal treatments: pyrolysis and gasification 63 Paul Levett Waste Transition Limited Keith Riley Vismundi Limited Anaerobic digestion 81 Dan Poulson Tamar Energy Part IV – Project development issues Project structuring 91 Angus Evers King & Wood Mallesons SJ Berwin Site selection and planning 105 Steve Molnar Terence O’Rourke Ltd Environmental regulation of energy-from-waste facilities 123 Angus Evers King & Wood Mallesons SJ Berwin Construction issues 135 Martin Hopkins Costain Operation and maintenance issues 151 Martin Hopkins Costain Part V – Commercial issues The wider context of energy from waste: the economics of the waste to resource transition, 1990-2015 161 Peter Jones Ecolateral Ltd To 2025 and beoynd 183 Peter Jones Ecolateral Ltd Conclusion 191 Adam Read Kathryn Warren Ricardo – AEA Angus Evers King & Wood Mallesons SJ Berwin Appendix: Case studies 199 Glossary 217 About the authors 221

Globe Law and Business Ltd Accounting Procedures in Joint Operating
Book SynopsisThe joint operating agreement (JOA) is probably one of the most relevant agreements in the upstream sector. The costs and risks involved in any upstream project are likely to be too great for any company to bear alone, and that’s why it is fairly common for oil and gas companies to combine their efforts with others through joint ventures. The costs of a joint venture are usually controlled through mechanisms such as work programmes and budgets, authorisations of expenditure, and the awarding of contracts. But none of these mechanisms are going to regulate when and how the operator can issue a cash call, how the operator can charge the costs related to the joint venture, or how a non-operator can audit those costs. All of these detailed financial controls are exercised through agreed accounting procedures. Usually, these accounting procedures are set out in an attachment to the JOA. The attachment can be fairly lengthy and complex since it deals with one of the key issues of the consortium: expenditure. If the accounting procedures do not establish clear rules in that area, costs and associated exposure could increase significantly for the parties involved. This publication analyses and explores in detail what accounting procedures should apply, what the main issues are for an operator and a non-operator; and how the standard model forms address those issues. Several sets of JOA model forms (from AIPN, OGUK, Greenland and Norway, for example) are explored. Through the book, international oil companies, independents, national oil companies, legal advisers and consultants can learn how to perfect their accounting procedures and understand the risks and issues that they might face in the futureTable of ContentsPreface 5 Chapter one: General provisions 7 1.1 Industry characteristics and types of contract 7 1.2 The purposes of Accounting Procedures and the ‘no gain, no loss’ principle 10 1.3 Joint accounts, credits and currency exchange 12 1.4 Cash calls 13 1.5 Statements 19 1.6 Adjustments 25 1.7 Audits 26 1.8 Allocations 27 1.9 Procedures for unscheduled direct charges 35 Chapter two: Chargeable costs and expenses 37 2.1 Direct charges 37 2.2 Indirect charges 57 2.3 Materials and inventory 71 Chapter three: Exclusive operations 79 3.1 Overview 79 3.2 The main consequences for Accounting Procedures 85 3.3 Final remarks 94 Chapter four: 95 Dispute resolution 4.1 Key areas of conflict 95 4.2 Resolving disputes 95 Chapter five: Accounting procedures and host government contracts 109 5.1 Key differences between HGI and JOA accounting procedures 110 5.2 Sensitive issues for host governments, national oil companies and investors 122 5.3 Dispute resolution 123 Appendices 125 Annexes for JOA Accounting Procedure 127 Annexes for HGI Accounting Procedure 231 About the authors 305

Globe Law and Business Ltd Oil and Gas in Africa: A Legal and Commercial
Book SynopsisAlthough there has long been oil and gas activity in Africa, there has been a recent renewal of interest in the continent – particularly in jurisdictions without existing production. Countries with established industries continue to mature, develop and indigenise. However, many problems (eg, security concerns, corruption, political risk and environmental issues) constrain production levels and have resulted in acquisition and disposal activity as companies rebalance their portfolios to reflect these risks. Beyond these established players, the pool of African producing nations is expanding and the next few years will see countries with no or limited production becoming an important source of global supply. Much of this new activity is taking place in East Africa – particularly oil production in the north (Kenya and Uganda) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas projects in the south (Tanzania and Mozambique). Other countries such as Namibia and Somalia are exploring for their first significant discoveries. This book discusses the opportunities and challenges. Chapters describe the production sharing contract (PSC) and economic terms governing regional exploration and production activity. Although PSCs are not an exclusive host government instrument, they are of growing importance for countries looking for greater control over, and societal benefits from, petroleum production. The book also covers financing, M&A, valuation, local content, state participation, security and decommissioning issues in an African context. Additional chapters deal with OHADA – an attempt to harmonise business laws across 17 countries in West and Central Africa – and natural gas and LNG projects. The book has been authored by leading industry participants, petroleum consultants, lawyers and security advisers with experience of working in Africa. It will benefit other industry participants and advisers pursuing oil and gas opportunities across the continent.Table of ContentsPreface General Jones Foreword Larry Bottomley Alex Green Chariot Oil and Gas Limited Upstream petroleum agreements in Africa Kevin Atkins Chadbourne & Parke Local content Caroline Lucy Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld Comparative economic and fiscal analysis Chris Moore Moyes & Co Oil & gas mergers and acquisitions in Africa Adam Blythe Bracewell & Giuliani (UK) LLP Ben Donovan DLA Piper State participation and local participation in oil and gas in Africa John LaMaster Caroline-Lucy Moran Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld OHADA (Organisation pour l’Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires) Olivier Chambord Allison Soilihi Morgan, Lewis & Bockius UK LLP Chasing shadows: security of oil and gas projects in Africa John LaMaster Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld Anti-corruption initiatives Sarah A Banco Jaelyn Edwards Judelson Nnedinma C Ifudu Nweke Tamer A Soliman Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld Financing of oil & gas operations in Africa Bruce Johnston Morgan, Lewis & Bockius UK LLP The growing and evolving role of national oil companies Bjorn-Erik Leerberg Advokatfirmaet Simonsen Vogt Wiig AS Dispute resolution involving oil & gas assets in Africa Mark Beeley Vinson & Elkins Decomissioning in Africa Olubunmi Fayokun Aluko & Oyebode Index About the authors

It discusses the most important financing techniques, including reserve-based lending, project finance and high-yield bonds. This new book answers the need for a comprehensive guide for financing in these sectors and is written by leading practitioners from their position at the centre of transactions in this moving market.

The book is co-edited by oil and gas financing expert Huw Thomas and renewables and conventional power expert Antony Skinner. Contributions are made by leading practitioners from Milbank, Clifford Chance, Infrastructure Development Partnership, Arntzen de Besche and Ashurst. Energy and Natural Resources Financing in Practice is aimed at executives in energy and resources companies, as well as bankers and advisers involved in these sectors. The content and style is accessible to those who are new to these sectors, but the level of practical insight is valuable even to the most seasoned executives and professionals.

Center for Global Development Oil to Cash: Fighting the Resource Curse Through
Book SynopsisWhat should a country do if it suddenly discovers oil and gas? How should it spend the subsequent cash windfall? How can it protect against corruption? How can citizens truly benefit from national wealth? With many of the world's poorest and most fragile states suddenly joining the ranks of oil and gas producers, these are pressing policy questions.Oil to Cash explores one option that may help avoid the so-called resource curse: just give the money directly to citizens. A universal, transparent, and regular cash transfer would not only provide a concrete benefit to regular people, but would also create powerful incentives for citizens to hold their government accountable. Oil to Cash details how and where this idea could work and how policymakers can learn from the experiences with cash transfers in places like Mexico, Mongolia, and Alaska.

Center for Global Development Governor's Solution: Alaska's Oil Dividend and
Book SynopsisReliance on natural resource revenues, particularly oil, is often associated with bad governance, corruption, and poverty. Worried about the effect of oil on Alaska, Governor Jay Hammond had a simple yet revolutionary idea: let citizens have a direct stake. The Governor's Solution features his first-hand account that describes, with brutal honesty and piercing humour, the birth of the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend, which has been paid to each resident every year since 1982. Thirty years later, Hammond's vision is still influencing oil policies throughout the world.This reader, part of the Center for Global Development's Oil-to-Cash initiative, includes recent scholarly work examining Alaska's experience and how other oil-rich societies, particularly Iraq, might apply some of the lessons. It is as a powerful reminder that the combination of new ideas and determined individuals can make a tremendous difference —even in issues as seemingly complex and intractable as fighting the oil curse.

Claeys & Casteels Publishers BV European Energy Studies Volume VII: The European
Book SynopsisThis book was originally published by Claeys and Casteels, now formally part of Edward Elgar Publishing. Energy has always been a potential positive European cooperation and integration factor. Providing zero-carbon power to homes and businesses across the EU will require an open market in electricity, underpinned by both upgraded and new trans-national transmission networks. Building this network in time to meet the 2050 challenge will require action now. Supergrid will allow Europe to transform its present energy system, still mainly based on fossil fuels, to one that is sustainable since it will not only be able to optimise all generation (energy mixes) of the Member States but will also be able to integrate all renewable energy sources that Europe wishes to exploit. This book will show that the above could be implemented today if there was the political will do so followed by the implementation of the necessary regulatory instruments. The different chapters will lead us through the period when the idea of a European Supergrid was just a vision to the reality of the technological developments that make it possible to have such a transformed energy system in the near future. Europe can afford a transformed energy system. Investing in all these new technologies that can limit global warming to 2°C has, of course, a cost but the cost of doing nothing would be much higher and not only in terms of money.

Claeys & Casteels Publishers BV Energy Scenarios and Policy, Volume I: The future
Book SynopsisGas represents a pivotal element of the European energy architecture. New elements such as the evolution of the EU Energy Union, the international climate agreement reached at COP-21, the EU-Russia gas relations in the aftermath of the Ukraine crisis and the supply potential emerging in the Eastern Mediterranean, are rapidly reshaping the European gas markets. This book seeks to provide an insight into these developments, with the ultimate aim of contributing to the current European gas debate. The book provides a balancing act between two issues—decarbonisation of the European energy system, and security of gas supply—that are usually conceived as different but actually represent two sides of the same coin.

Claeys & Casteels Publishers BV European Energy Studies Volume IX: Turkey and the
Book SynopsisThis book was originally published by Claeys and Casteels, now formally part of Edward Elgar Publishing. Recent developments both in Turkey and its immediate neighbourhood have brought into sharp focus Turkey’s pivotal role in a region that has become increasingly challenging to the EU. These developments, for example, have prompted Ankara to declare more of an independent course of action both domestically and regionally and hasten into a détente with Russia. As a result, considerations of Turkey’s European future have been eclipsed by concerns about Ankara’s preference to aspire to being an independent regional power. Along with those about Turkey’s orientation, time-honored existential questions are being raised again: Is Turkey a border, a buffer, or a bridge between the EU and the Middle East? This book moves beyond the ‘identity’ debate between Turkey and the EU, and offers a guide at this critical time for drawing lessons from a rigorous examination of divergence and convergence between the EU and Turkey in three significant policy areas. The result of a focused research project conducted by a team of international policy experts from the Central European University (Budapest) and Sabanci University (Istanbul), the studies included in this volume suggest alternative scenarios regarding how Turkey and the EU might jointly develop effective energy, transport, and competition policies, regardless of Turkey’s EU candidacy status. These studies show how geo-strategic realities ultimately require Turkey to cooperate with the EU on a number of policy issues, despite Ankara’s rhetoric to the contrary. Turkey’s role as an energy supplier to the EU has never been dropped from Ankara’s policy agenda. More recently, the Turkish government has been announcing how its investments in the third bridge across the Bosporus would help to release untapped potential of land-based trade between Europe and Asia. Regardless of the current divergence of political visions, Turkey’s policy aims, at least in the three policy areas examined, foresee coordination, if not cooperation, with the EU.

Claeys & Casteels Publishers BV European Energy Studies Volume X: The EU ETS and
Book SynopsisThis book was originally published by Claeys and Casteels, now formally part of Edward Elgar Publishing. This book focuses on the EU ETS, the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme, backbone of the European Union strategy to combat climate change, and its industry competitiveness implications. In the light of the discussion of the revision for the coming years, it aims to provide a toolbox of key elements to understand its functioning and to reflect on crucial improvements. Specifically, besides a general overview of the first phases of the scheme and current difficulties, the book aims to (i) deploy an energy-intensive, sector-level analysis, with both reference to academic literature (ex ante and ex post studies, paying special attention to the underlying assumptions) and stakeholders positions on the carbon leakage issue; (ii) present an overview of the existing ETS policy measures and worldwide experiences; (iii) reflect on the ongoing reform for the post-2020 period, starting from the European Commission’s proposal and entering the technical and political debate taking place within the European institutions. “The EU ETS and the European industry competitiveness” provides the reader with a full understanding of the system, presenting problems, policy options, design aspects and global insights. It aims to identify potential improvements and to draw lessons for the coming years and the future phases, assessing if the current reform is actually on track to adequately protect business competitiveness.

Claeys & Casteels Publishers BV EU Energy Law, Volume XI: The Role of Gas in the
Book SynopsisThe EU’s gas market is at the very centre of the energy union, and is changing faster than ever before. Indeed, the European Council has stressed repeatedly the EU’s priority of ensuring its gas security, promoting liquid and competitive gas markets across the whole of the EU. The commission has already proposed a revision to the gas security of supply regulation and negotiations are close to finalisation. Earlier this year, the Commission published an ‘LNG Strategy’. In terms of market integration, the progressive adoption of grid codes is further integrating markets, and the emergence of active trading hubs in North West Europe, is seeing the emergence of similar liquid markets throughout the EU. The EU has also been actively pursuing its aim of diversifying its sources of gas supplies, making progress in bringing the southern corridor to fruition, and is actively looking at other potential suppliers, for example in the Eastern Mediterranean. And in the competition policy field the commission has equally been active, scrutinising the behaviour in particular of companies holding dominant positions in parts of the EU. This volume, introduced by EU Energy Commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete, brings together commentary and analysis by some of the leading commission officials, lawyers, and industry figures on all of these issues, offering a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced by the EU, its response, and the future direction of EU gas policy. 'The Role of Gas in the EU's Energy Union', edited by Christopher Jones, Deputy Director-General of the Directorate General for Energy at the European Commission, is the result of collaboration between its authors to contribute to the debate in this area and to raise money for charitable causes. 100 Euros per copy will be donated to the Donna Louise Trust, a children's charitable hospice that provides comfort and assistance to children with life-limiting conditions as well as their families.

Claeys & Casteels Publishers BV European Energy Studies Volume XV: Transformation
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive book on the European energy transition has been written by more than 40 European leading energy- and climate experts. It reflects on the latest policy developments, as such as the Clean Energy for All Europeans Package, the Green Deal and the Climate Law. The energy transition is Europe’s flagship projects. It needs to provide sound answers to the climate and sustainability-, security of supply- and competitiveness imperatives. The energy transition corresponds to a large scale economic and cultural change. It encompasses sector coupling- linking up sectors that have ignored each other previously, like mobility and power. What is the meaning of digitalization, and how to face cyber-security risks? Can Europe deliver a 50-55% decrease in Greenhouse Gas Emissions, as is the agenda of the new von der Leyen Commission? This 2nd edition is not only updated, but also augmented with three new chapters : the first focusses on a European cross border carbon adjustment proposal (by Genevieve Pons, Pascal Lamy and Pierre Leturcq). This mechanism is a center piece in the European Green Deal and as such debated intensively. Two other chapters present the value-add and next steps for European network codes and guidelines (Alexander Dusolt, Leonardo Meeus). The book analyses the factors driving change: where are we on climate and sustainability, competitiveness and market, and security of supply? It presents the actors: what genesis of and what contemporary institutions for European energy policy, how is energy addressed by the national and by the European; what about the active customer paradigm and the many startups and business models changing, as well as NGOs? It investigates sectors: power, gas, mobility and the powerful push from digitalization.
