“…This why we do not deal further with the option of "upstream" permits where the permits would be allocated to fossil fuel producers and importers (Winkelman et al, 2000). The transmission of permit prices by these fuel wholesalers to final consumers would lose the advantages of permits over tax referred to above, without forgetting the issue of acceptability of letting private companies manage the fuel rationing.…”

Decentralized transferable permit systems in the transport sector can be of interest with regard to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, in spite of anticipated transaction costs. This paper describes a potential application of a domestic market for car fuel consumption permits. The marginal costs of consumption reduction vary sufficiently according to motorists' residential locations to consider permit exchanges. Economic evaluation of this system shows that there are transfers of surplus between the various groups of motorists according to their residential locations. The central government may lose significant revenues when compared with a conventional fuel tax. Lastly, the issue of transaction costs, the benefits and disadvantages in terms of social acceptability and equity are discussed.

“…However, they proposed the use of a hybrid approach that would combine both upstream and downstream players in order to address this challenge. Another study by Winkelman et al also proposes a hybrid approach with fuel producers as the upstream actors and vehicle manufacturers as the midstream actors [16].…”

As downstream road transport has not been fully integrated into any emissions trading scheme, this paper proposes and evaluates the possibility of one by addressing the main barriers hindering its development. Based on this, a scheme which separates the “Cap” and “Trade” participation to motorists and local governments, respectively, is presented through a systematic review. We investigate how the scheme addresses the problems of cost, administrative burden, and fuel allowance allocation as they are all key factors that need equal consideration. We also justify the model’s unique structure and characteristics against the world’s largest scheme, the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), to ensure they cater to the three aforementioned issues barring its viability. It is concluded that, by amending specific policy attributes of a road-based emissions trading scheme significantly, it could be more practical both economically and administratively. Also, leveraging on existing institutional arrangements would allow for an economically feasible environment for the administration and management of such a scheme.

“…By imposing to the producers and the importers of oil, natural gas and coal to return the quotas, the system would cover the whole CO 2 emissions resulting from the combustion of the hydrocarbon fuels by the end-users (Winkelman et al 2000).…”

“…Like Winkelman et al (2000), they argue the case for a hybrid approach which would combine an upstream procedure for fuel producers with a downstream procedure for automobile manufacturers. However, as German (2006) points out, an analysis of the detailed implementation of a hybrid scheme such as this shows that there are a number of difficulties: one of the main problems is the risk of double counting both in terms of credits to automobile manufacturers for fuel efficiency improvements and in terms of allowances for fuel producers.…”

From the issue entitled "Special Issue: Transport, energy and greenhouse gases: perspectives on demand limitation Guest Editors: Charles Raux & Martin E.H. Lee-Gosselin"International audienceTransport currently accounts for around 25-30% of global CO2 emissions and this contribution is growing rapidly. Moreover, road transport holds by far the major part in these emissions. Because of the social and political reluctance to increase fuel taxation, it is of some interest to explore the inclusion of road transport in emission trading schemes. Starting from the theory about tradable permits, their relevance in transport emissions, their appropriate targets and their potential for practical implementation are analysed. Two proposals of "tradable rights for fuel consumption" are presented, the one for drivers of private vehicles, the other for freight transportation. Finally, potential pitfalls and implementation issues are also discussed. It is concluded that the cost of operating markets of fuel rights would be the price to be paid for an effective involvement of the transport sector in the effort to reduce emissions
