Natural Gas Flaring & Energy Transition - Laws, Policies And Regulations

~~173,58€~~ 156,22€ 10% OFF

 In the context of climate change, it is generally agreed that natural gas has manifest advantages as a ‘transition fuel’ that offers a potential bridge from overuse of coal and petroleum to a renewable low-carbon future. However, the widespread ongoing practice of natural gas flaring—the burning of unwanted gas for economic reasons—is severely criticized for hampering progress in its flagrant waste of both valuable resources and revenues. This important book covers natural gas flaring policies across twenty leading oil and gas jurisdictions from a global perspective, providing the energy transition and environmental policy communities with detailed information on current developments in market regulations, contractual arrangements, and technological responses, and clarifying ways to tackle natural gas flaring in the context of meeting climate change goals.In the multifaceted approach provided by the book’s contributors—experts from a broad cross-section of gas-producing countries—the book engages with such issues and topics as the following:<ul><li>the technical aspects behind natural gas flaring;</li><li>alternative solutions to mitigating natural gas flaring via carbon capture, utilization and storage;</li><li>energy security imperatives;</li><li>legal frameworks governing natural gas flaring, with case studies from key twenty leading oil and gas jurisdictions;</li><li>best practices and potential solutions that can be adapted to different contexts;</li><li>environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations;</li><li>potential disputes arising from changing regulations and market conditions; and</li><li>recommendations for design, application, and implementation of natural gas development and marketing.</li></ul>Bringing together legal, policy, and regulatory perspectives from natural gas hubs, this work fills a significant gap in the existing literature with a rigorous exposition and comparative analysis of the business, legal, economic, and sustainability aspects of natural gas flaring and its role in the energy transition across global energy markets. It will prove to be of immeasurable value to policymakers, industry stakeholders, regulators, concerned nongovernmental organizations, and legal practitioners in sustainable development and international relations. It is sure to contribute to informed decision making and ultimately to more sustainable and equitable energy systems worldwide.

Tale Of Two Cities: A Comparison Of Air Pollution Governance In The Los Angeles Area Of The Usa And The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Area Of China

by Richard Ottinger e Xi Wang

~~102,03€~~ 91,83€ 10% OFF

 The successful reduction of urban air pollution is among the notable achievements of modern environmental law and policy. This remarkable study, focusing on two of the world’s most prominent cases, explores how people in the areas of Los Angeles and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) established governance processes to combat air pollution and how the major actors in each area worked to make their region a better place to live. Employing the expertise of teams of knowledgeable environmental law experts from both China and the United States, the authors identify and analyze similarities and differences in the respective legal and policy experiences as actors succeeded in greatly improving the air quality of their areas.Underpinned by a model of environmental governance developed by the authors and presenting an abundance of first-hand information from both areas, the study finds that, despite broad political and cultural differences in both regions, three political relations in governance processes emerge as enablers of effective reduction of air pollution: <ul><li> relation between regulators and the regulated communities;</li><li> relation between all the supervisory political entities, such as legislatures, etc., and regulators; and</li><li> relation between civil society (including news media and nongovernmental organizations) and polluters.</li></ul>Specific areas of regulation covered include transportation, ports, energy efficiency, utilities, oil refineries, building efficiency, renewable energy, coal dependency, and optimizing energy structure.<span style="color:black;mso-ansi-language...

European Union Case Law On The Birds And Habitats Directives

by Liam Cashman e Nina Claudia Miron

~~152,38€~~ 137,14€ 10% OFF

 Energy and Environmental Law and Policy SeriesDespite the remarkable scope of EU conservation policy, and notwithstanding 30 years of relevant case law, nature in the EU continues to decline. This comprehensive book, focusing on the EU’s core legislation on nature, the Birds and Habitats Directives, presents a detailed summary and analysis of the two directives as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the European Union.The book’s systematic structure provides the crucial details of a large body of cases decided by the Court following legal actions taken by the European Commission or preliminary references submitted by national courts. It enables a clear procedural understanding of how nature cases are brought before the Court and how the Court approaches matters such as the burden of proof and the entitlement of environmental associations to litigate disputes. Among the salient areas of analysis are the following:<ul><li>the requirements for including sites within Natura 2000, the largest network of protected nature areas in the world;</li><li>the obligations to conserve Natura 2000 sites and protect them from damage, including through procedural and substantive assessment requirements for plans and projects;</li><li>requirements concerning unlawful or illegal activities;</li><li>the strict protection requirements that apply to wild birds and other species, together with related derogation provisions;</li><li>requirements to protect habitats in the wider countryside and interlinkages between the nature directives and directives on impact assessment, water, and environmental liability;</li><li>challenges addressed or influenced by the Court, such as defects in Member State transposition, problems of monitoring and enforcing compliance, and dealing with harmful and benign subsidies;</li><li>procedures used to bring cases to the Court, including direct actions by the Commission and preliminary references from national courts.</li></ul>According to the 2020 Global Risk Report of the World Economic Forum, biodiversity loss will be one of the biggest threats facing humanity in the next ten years. If nature is to have any hope of recovering and prospering, strict application of existing nature conservation rules is of utmost importance, especially as a recent evaluation shows that, although the EU nature directives are fit for purpose, implementation on the ground is lagging behind. By setting out the case law systematically and explaining what compliance with specific requirements entails, this book makes a signal contribution to nature conservation practice. Lawyers, policymakers, and NGOs working in the domain of nature conservation will greatly benefit.

Petroleum, Industry And Governments - A Study Of The Involvement Of Industry And Governments In Exploring For And Producing Petroleum

by Bernard Taverne

284,88€ + 10% CARD

 The grave concern of governments for the negative impact on the world climate caused by the release into the atmosphere of CO2 resulting from human activity, and under human control, such as the burning and combustion of oil products from the refinery, of natural gas and coal (the fossil fuels) made it possible for the international community to agree to and establish a global climate agreement, viz. The Paris Agreement of 1915. In order to meet the objectives of this Agreement, governments will try (among other measures) to curb the consumption of fossil fuels. This will not be easy since, in particular in less advanced economies, fossil fuels are for the coming decades indispensable. In more advanced economies, there are alternatives available, but as long as a possible switching to nuclear fission energy meets with public opposition, even the more advanced economies will remain dependent on fossil fuels for the coming decades.In its deeply informed discussion of the involvement of industry and governments with the production and use of petroleum, the prodigious scope of the coverage encompasses the following and much more:<ul><li>technical and environmental aspects of the production of oil and natural gas;</li><li>position and function of petroleum and natural gas in the economy;</li><li>government policies and attitudes towards fossil fuels, particularly with respect to climate change;</li><li>national and international regulation of onshore or offshore petroleum operations;</li><li>how oil and natural gas markets work;</li><li>old and new forms and manifestations of political risk;</li><li>distinction between licence-based and contract-based petroleum legislation;</li><li>production sharing agreements; and</li><li>petroleum taxation.</li></ul>The author draws on laws, contracts, government policy documents, trade journals, and statistical data available from international organizations and institutes and international oil companies. <span style="mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black;background...

Climate Clubs For A Sustainable Future - The Role Of International Trade And Investment Law

by Rafael Leal-Arcas

141,78€ + 10% CARD

 Energy and Environmental Law and Policy Series #41 We know the science of climate change; we know the economics of climate change; we also know the law of climate change. However, we do not know how countries may come together to cooperate on climate change mitigation. In this connection, the role of international trade in climate change, although universally acknowledged, is not well understood. This groundbreaking book by one of the world’s foremost authorities on international economic law not only investigates this role in great depth, but also explains how free trade agreements can be used as a powerful tool to help mitigate climate change. Focusing on the idea of climate clubs—namely the coalition of the willing—among governments, companies, and/or international institutions, the book offers insightful analysis on aspects of the trade-climate linkage such as: <ul> <li>formation of climate clubs;</li> <li>legitimacy and accountability;</li> <li>technological cooperation;</li> <li>green patents;</li> <li>how competition law hinders effective cooperation between companies seeking to produce sustainable goods;</li> <li>domestic policy preferences;</li> <li>recognizing States that should legitimately be allowed to be free riders; and</li> <li>sanctions for noncompliance.</li> </ul> Three detailed case studies are included: a comparison of the U.S. and European Union (EU) Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) programs, energy security in the Arab world, and EU-Russia energy trade relations. With the author’s conviction that global access to energy, mitigating climate change, and benefit from international trade and investment all can be achieved, this book offers a fresh understanding of the international trading system as a way to reach a prosperous, modern, and sustainable society that will help decarbonize the economy effectively. It will be welcomed by all professionals and policymakers concerned with climate change mitigation, and particularly by those active at its nexus with international trade.

Liberalization Of Electricity Markets And The Public Service Obligation In The Energy Community

by Rozeta Karova

194,78€ + 10% CARD

 This book presents the first in-depth analysis of the export of the EU electricity acquis, through the imposition of an EU-type regional electricity market (REM) in SEE within the enlargement process. Among other germane issues, the author discusses the following: ; the suitability of the European model of electricity markets’ liberalization for economies in transition; the use of the Public Services Obligations (PSO) to address the impact of electricity markets liberalization; the use of regulated prices and measures for granting priority rights for cross-border capacity allocation as PSOs; the Court of Justice judgement in Federutility on the sustainability of states’ protection of their different types of customers, including the large businesses; the Energy Community as a step towards a Pan-European Energy Community; the effect of simultaneous national electricity markets liberalization and cross-border regional integration of national electricity markets; and, the interplay between liberalization policy and reforms and the regulatory tools available to address their impact on provision of public services. The author’s proposed rethinking of the public services obligation offers new views on using this tool more effectively and proposes possibilities for its practical implementation through measures such as energy efficiency, allocation of interconnectors’ capacity, transparency, addressing the affordability issue and the protection of vulnerable customers.

Development Of A Comprehensive Legal Framework For The Promotion Of Offshore Wind Power

190,80€ + 10% CARD

 There is clearly an urgent need worldwide to increase the share of renewable energy in the overall energy supply as rapidly as possible. With a well-developed and proven feasible technology, offshore wind power has come to the fore as the most promising means of achieving this goal. However, fragmented authorities and procedures may pose tremendous challenges to the development of an integrated legal framework for offshore wind and the complex installation and grid interconnections it requires. This book surveys and analyses the features essential for the development of such a framework, drawing on the experience of ten countries that have such schemes in place - France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Norway, the United States, Australia, China, Korea, and Taiwan.Discussing the impact of technological, economic, spatial, and market issues on the legal framework, eleven key policymakers in their respective countries contribute chapters that together reveal the contours of a strong and sound legal framework that serves to enable and facilitate the efficient application of policy initiatives and subsidies. Topics and issues raised and examined include the ways a sound legal framework addresses the following aspects of offshore wind power development:<ul><li>- license schemes;</li><li>- construction of turbines;</li><li>- infrastructure of grid, construction harbor, and vessels;</li><li>- environmental health and safety regulations; and</li><li>- loan and finance risk.</li></ul>The contributors show that a carefully planned mix of incentives and supplementary schemes is indispensable. The essays are drawn on the presentations and papers offered at the International Conference on a Comprehensive Legal Framework for the Development of Offshore Wind Power Around the World held in Taiwan in August 2016.As a major new contribution to the debate on the importance of a legal framework for offshore wind power and grid interconnections, this book will prove indispensable to lawyers, policymakers, officials, and academics concerned with the management of sea space to include the wind power necessary to achieve and sustain renewable energy goals.

Application Of Anti-Manipulation Law To Eu Wholesale Energy Markets And Its Interplay With Eu Competition Law

by Huseyin Cagri Corlu

137,80€ + 10% CARD

 In the course of energy liberalisation, electricity and natural gas contracts have been separated from physical delivery, and these contracts are now traded as commodities in multilateral trading facilities. Although designed to render energy trading standardised and efficient, this system raises serious questions as to whether existing regulatory and antitrust provisions are sufficient to address market abuses that cause imbalances in demand and supply. The European Union’s (EU’s) Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency (REMIT), adopted to combat such market manipulation, is still lacking in significant case law to bolster its effectiveness. Addressing this gap, this invaluable book provides the first in-depth analysis of market manipulation in the energy sector, offering a deeply informed understanding of the new anti-manipulation rules and their implementation and enforcement.Focusing on practices that perpetrators employ to manipulate electricity and natural gas markets and the applicability of anti-manipulation rules to combat such practices, the analysis examines such issues and topics as the following:<ul><li>- factors and circumstances that determine when and what market misconduct can be subject to enforcement;</li><li>- the European Commission’s criteria to determine whether a particular market is susceptible to regulation;</li><li>- jurisdiction of REMIT and the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) with respect to the prohibitions of insider trading in financial wholesale energy markets;</li><li>- to what extent anti-manipulation rules and EU competition law may be applied concurrently; and</li><li>- types of physical and financial instruments that market participants have employed in devising their manipulative schemes.</li></ul>Because market manipulation is rather new in the EU context but has been prohibited and prosecuted under US law for over a century, much of the case law analysis is from the United States and greatly clarifies how anti-manipulation rules may be enforced. A concluding chapter offers policy recommendations to mitigate legal uncertainties arising from REMIT.Energy market participants, such as energy producers, wholesale suppliers, traders, transmission system operators and their counsel, and legal practitioners in the field will welcome this book’s extensive legal analysis and its clear demarcation of the objectives that REMIT seeks to accomplish with respect to energy market liberalisation.
