This report describes issues involved in choosing the set of greenhouse gases (GHGs), emission sources, and sectors of

This brief presents public policy tools available to provide support for research, development, demonstration, and
deployment (RDD&D) of technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. An emissions price induced by a

This brief discusses public policy tools available to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation
sector. Reducing GHG emissions from transportation, which comprise one third of total U.S. CO2 emissions, will need

This brief examines policy options for addressing competitiveness concerns arising from the establishment of a mandatory domestic program to limit greenhouse gas emissions. These concerns center on energy-intensive industries that compete globally and could face higher costs under a domestic climate program while key competitors do not.

This brief outlines the motivation for and key features of a tax designed to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). The two most commonly discussed market-based instruments for reducing GHG emissions are a cap-and trade system and a GHG (carbon) tax. These mechanisms function in a similar way by establishing a price for GHG emissions.

Electricity production in India is projected to expand dramatically in the near term to energize new industrial development, while also easing the energy shortages throughout the country.

This brief describes the potential role of government in facilitating widespread and more rapid deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage through a number of means including: providing financial incentives for initial CCS projects through the use of bonus allowances under a cap-and-trade program, or a fund generated by charges on electricity or fossil-fuel based sources of electricity; setting GHG

This brief presents the key issues and identifies options for the incorporation of greenhouse gas (GHG) offsets into emerging U.S. climate change policy. A GHG offset represents a reduction, avoidance, destruction, or sequestration of GHG emissions from a source not covered by an emission reduction requirement.

This brief describes issues relevant to the timetable for reducing U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) under a
