Climate Policy and Emissions Leakage: Comparing the Options
Authors:
Carolyn Fischer
Summary:
The potential scale of the impacts and the range of industries affected by proposed climate policies are unprecedented in the history of environmental regulation. A price placed on carbon emissions, such as through a cap-and-trade system, will not only have direct impacts on electricity and primary energy producers, but it will also have indirect effects on all industrial users of energy, their
product supply chains, and ultimately consumers.
