The main factors determining the dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions in the &quot;Energy&quot; sector are the dynamics and structure of energy consumption, the volume and pace of implementation of policies and measures to reduce emissions in various sectors of the economy. In the with measures (inertial) scenario, the structure of primary energy consumption by types of energy carriers in the period up to 2030 changes very slowly, due to the growth in consumption of coal and oil products. Electricity consumption is increasing and production is increasing at thermal power plants and nuclear power plants, with a rather limited contribution from non-traditional renewable energy sources. In the with additional measures (energy efficient) scenario, in contrast to the inertial one, primary energy consumption not only stabilizes, but also decreases in relation to the current level. This is due to the accelerated decline in the energy intensity of GDP.
The UK government will support the CCS Infrastructure Fund to establish CCS in at least two UK sites, one by the mid-2020s, a second by 2030. It aims to establish at least one CO2 capture equipped gas power plant by 2030 with the help of consumer subsidies. Also, the Budget confirms funding for the Heat Networks Investment Project  and provides £270 million of new funding to enable new and existing heat networks to adopt low carbon heat sources in the building sector. The aim is that the heating of homes reaches net-zero by 2050 replacing natural gas and other fossil fuels with low carbon alternatives, such as biomethane. Funding in the transport sector to reduce vehicle pollution through purchases and investments in zero emission light vehicles, and in the natural environmental sector to increase environmental restoration are also outlined in the budget plan.
These Regulations continue to transpose for Northern Ireland Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy) (“the WFD”) and also transpose aspects of Directive 2006/118/EEC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of groundwater against pollution and deterioration (“the GWD”) and of Directive 2008/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on environmental quality standards in the field of water policy (the EQSD”). They impose duties on the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (“the Department”) and the Department for Infrastructure to carry out certain functions so as to ensure compliance with the WFD, GWD and EQSD, in particular when deciding whether to grant, vary or revoke types of authorisations which affect water quality, and to co-ordinate their actions relating to these three Directives.
In January 2007, the Commission published a Renewable Energy Roadmap outlining a long-term strategy
and in 2009 the EU adopted Directive 2009/28/EC aiming at increasing the average renewable share
across the EU to 20% by 2020. Such Directive sets mandatory national targets for the overall share of
energy from renewable sources in gross final consumption of energy: the national target for Italy is
17%.. EU countries are free to decide their own preferred'mix' of renewable sources, allowing them to
take account of their different potentials. They had to present National Action Plans (NAPs) based on
indicative trajectories to the European Commission by 30 June 2010, followed by progress reports to be
submitted every two years. The objective expressed in the form of a share of energy from renewable
sources relative to total consumption in transport, electricity and heating and cooling in 2020 also takes
into account the effects of other policy measures addressing energy efficiency. The Directive 2009/28/EU has been transposed by the Legislative Decree N. 28 of 3rd March 2011. The
Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth Department for Business, Energy & Chair, Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee Energy Supply Company Special Administration Regime – Bulb Energy Limited The Secretary of State and I have written several times about the special administration of Bulb Energy, including most recently on the 16th August, regarding issuing letters of credit. In order to protect Bulb’s customers, and to limit wider industry contagion, the Secretary of State agreed to initiate the Energy Supply Company Special Administration Regime (SAR) in respect of Bulb. This is a temporary situation and Government is working with the Energy Administrators to ensure value for money for consumers and taxpayers, and a swift exit As you know, Government financial support has been agreed with the company and Energy Administrators. This takes the form of a working capital loan which includes Contingent Lia- bilities in the form of letters of credit to reduce upfront cash requirements, and a guarantee facility in respect of borrowings incurred by the company during the SAR. This is for the sole purpose of securing the statutory objective of Energy Supply Company SAR, which is the continuation of energy supplies to Bulb’s customers at the lowest reasonable, practicable cost until such time as the SAR becomes unnecessary. Appropriate governance arrange- ments are in place to ensure value for money and that any financial support provided is the minimum necessary for the Energy Administrators to discharge their statutory objective. All but one of the letters of credit provided to Bulb expire at the end of September and this letter refers to issuing their replacements. Attached at Annex A to this letter are details of the new letters of credit which have been issued and details of an amendment to the letter of credit which is not expiring in September. Parliament will be informed via a Written Minis- terial Statement and Departmental Minutes for the Contingent Liabilities. I am writing in equivalent terms to Meg Hillier as Chair of the Public Accounts Committee and Mel Stride as Chair of the Treasury Committee. A copy of this letter goes to Gareth Davies, Comptroller and Auditor General and to the Treasury Officer of Accounts. Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth and Climate Change
In June 2017 the Riksdag adopted a climate policy framework including targets until 2045. By 2045, Sweden is to have no net emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. and should thereafter achieve negative emissions. Emissions outside the EU ETS should be at least 63% lower by 2030 than emissions in 1990 and at least 75% lower by 2040. To achieve these targets, no more than 8 and 2 percentage points, respectively, of the emissions reductions may be realized through supplementary measures. A reduction of 63% means that the target is preliminary set to 17.3 Mt CO-eq. in 2030. The emissions outside EU ETS are projected to decrease to 26 Mt CO-eq. in 2030, which indicate a gap of around 9 Mt CO, eq. In addition emissions from domestic transport are to be reduced by at least 70% by 2030 compared with 2010. The emissions from domestic transport are projected to decrease by 35% between 2010 and 2030.

(m) What is the consequence of non-fulfillment? As a signatory to the Energy Community Treaty, the Republic of Macedonia is committed to harmonization of national legislation with existing EU legislation on energy, the environment, competition and renewable energy. This includes meeting the Government adopted target of 21% of final energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020 (calculated consistent with EU guidelines), and updated with the Decision of the Energy Community Ministerial Council to 28% (D/2012/04/MC-EnC (10th MC/18/10/2012- Annex18/09.07.2012). n) Is there any mechanism to supervise fulfillment?

From 2018, we will use the Government's response to the Committee on Climate Change's annual progress report to bring together reporting against this strategy on the emission intensity ratio, metrics and actions. We will publish our performance against the Emissions Intensity Ratio on an annual basis. We will also update key elements of the Strategy in line with our annual statutory responses to the Committee on Climate Change's reports on progress, ahead of setting the sixth carbon budget by 30 June 2021. We welcome views on this this Strategy. Comments and suggestions should be sent to CleanGrowthStrategy@beis.gov.uk by the end of December 2017. Government intends that the individual departmental policies and proposals contained within the plan will be consulted on separately, where such consultation has not already taken place. Views received in response to both this Strategy and the detailed policy proposals which will follow it will be considered as we update key elements of our strategy before setting the sixth carbon budget by 30 June 2021. The Government will also launch an annual week focusing on climate issues across the UK, to showcase our progress and successes on climate action, share the latest climate science, and highlight and promote economic opportunities arising from clean growth around the country.
Switzerland has stabilized its emissions until 2010 compared to 1990, until 2020 the greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 19% within the country. In line with IPCC findings, Switzerland commits to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 per cent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, corresponding to an average reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 35 per cent over the period 2021-2030. By 2025, a reduction of greenhouse gases by at least 35 per cent compared to 1990 levels is anticipated. International carbon credits will partly be used.
Powering a climate-neutral economy: An EU Strategy for Energy System Integration 1.An integrated energy system for a climate-neutral Europe The European Green Deal puts the EU on a path to climate neutrality by 2050, through the deep decarbonisation of all sectors of the economy, and higher greenhouse gas emission reductions for 2030. The energy system is crucial to deliver on these goals. The recent decline in the cost of renewable energy technologies, the digitalisation of our economy and emerging technologies in batteries, heat pumps, electric vehicles or hydrogen offer an opportunity to accelerate, over the next two decades, a profound transformation of our energy system and its structure. Europe’s energy future must rely on an ever growing share of geographically distributed renewable energies, integrate different energy carriers flexibly, while remaining resource-efficient and avoiding pollution and biodiversity loss.

Trading schemes U.K. 44 Trading schemes U.K. (1) The relevant national authority may make provision by regulations for trading schemes relating to greenhouse gas emissions. (2) A "trading scheme" is a scheme that operates by- (a) limiting or encouraging the limitation of activities that consist of the emission of greenhouse gas or that cause or contribute, directly or indirectly, to such emissions, or (b) encouraging activities that consist of, or that cause or contribute, directly or indirectly, to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions or the removal of greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. 45 Activities to which trading schemes may apply U.K. (1) For the purposes of this Part activities are regarded as indirectly causing or contributing to greenhouse gas emissions if they involve, in particular- (a) the consumption of energy, (b) the use of materials in whose production energy was consumed, (c) the disposal otherwise than for recycling of materials in whose production energy was consumed, or (d) the production or supply of anything whose subsequent use directly causes or contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. (2) Correspondingly, for the purposes of this Part activities are regarded as indirectly causing or contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions if they involve a reduction under any of those heads. (3) This Part applies to activities carried on in the United Kingdom, regardless of where the related emissions, reductions or removals of greenhouse gas occur. 46 Matters that may or must be provided for in regulations U.K. (1) Schedule 2 specifies matters that may or must be provided for in regulations under section 44. (2) In that Schedule- Part 1 deals with schemes that operate by limiting or encouraging the limitation of activities that consist of the emission of greenhouse gas or that cause or contribute, directly or indirectly, to such emissions; Part 2 deals with schemes that operate by encouraging activities that consist of, or that cause or contribute, directly or indirectly, to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions or the removal of greenhouse gas from the atmosphere; Part 3 deals with administration and enforcement. (3) Regulations under section 44 may also make provision about the application of the regulations to the Crown.
The Rt Hon Kwasi Kwarteng MP, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy & The Rt Hon Alok Sharma MP, COP26 President We know we are already making good progress. Between 1990 and 2019, we grew our economy by more than three-quarters and cut our emissions by over 44%, decarbonising faster than any other G7 country. But we also know we must build on the success of COP26 and keep up momentum at home and abroad to deliver on our commitments.
The development of the Report as well as the subsequent implementation of the Low Emissions Development Strategy of the Republic of Moldova until 2030 and the Action Plan for its implementation, represent an essential contribution of our country to addressing climate change both nationally and globally. It is important to note that these assessments could be used in order to update the mitigation targets included in the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution of the Republic of Moldova, prepared in accordance with Decisions 1/CP.19 and 1/CP.20 for the Paris Agreement (2015) - an agreed outcome with legal force under the Convention, applicable to all Parties, in line with keeping global warming by 2100 below 20C, as compared to the preindustrial period. In comparison to the Fourth National Communication of the Republic of Moldova under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (2018), this Report presents an updated overview of the state of work in the Republic of Moldova for the main issues covered by the Convention. They affect the assessment of greenhouse gas emissions pace and dynamics at national and sectoral level, the mitigation measures adopted at national level, respectively the capacity support and needs in order to decrease these emissions at a larger scale.
To ensure that the 2030 targets are achieved, in 2018 the Climate Action Plan 2050 will be underpinned with a programme of measures having quantifiable
