as a whole in the NSCOGI Reference Scenario for the year 2030 with grid 2020 capacities
4.3 CO 2 emissions
Figure 4-5 shows the anticipated CO emissions by market node. The carbon emissions
2
produced are dependent on the fuel used, which is determined by the generation portfolio
in each country and the fuel/carbon costs employed. The fuel and CO emission prices
2
employed are consistent with the IEA World Energy Outlook 2010, New Policies scenario
for 2030. As a coal before gas merit order was assumed, it can be seen in the results that
countries with the largest amounts of coal generation such as Germany, Great Britain and
the Netherlands are also the largest emitters of CO .
