Methane emissi<strong>on</strong>s– from gas distributi<strong>on</strong>, coal mining, livestock andmanure, landfill dumps and wastewater treatment– are similarly widely spread across the landscape.N 2 O is emitted partly from a few easily-identifiablepoint sources associated with certain industrialprocesses, but again mainly from the diffusedtransport and agricultural sectors.

Under theEU ETS, companies are not formally allowed tobank leftover allowances from <strong>on</strong>e phase of theprogramme to the next. However, they can achievethe same effect through what traders call ‘tradingthe spread’: selling, say, their 2007 allowances whilebuying 2008 allowances.

According to energy expert Amory Lovins, theUS is failing to make many reducti<strong>on</strong>s in carb<strong>on</strong>emissi<strong>on</strong>s not because they would be expensivebut because of capital misallocati<strong>on</strong>, organisati<strong>on</strong>aland regulatory failures, lack of informati<strong>on</strong>, perverseincentives, and so <strong>on</strong>.

Even theoil corporati<strong>on</strong> Shell admits that carb<strong>on</strong> efficiencymeasures are more likely when market soluti<strong>on</strong>ssuch as emissi<strong>on</strong>s trading are limited, globalisati<strong>on</strong>has been restricted in favour of nati<strong>on</strong>al laws andstandards, and cross-border ec<strong>on</strong>omic integrati<strong>on</strong>is limited. Under a regime of greater cross-borderintegrati<strong>on</strong>, regulatory harm<strong>on</strong>isati<strong>on</strong> and voluntarycodes, it c<strong>on</strong>cludes, there may be higher ec<strong>on</strong>omicgrowth, but an ‘absence of security-driveninvestment in indigenous renewable energy sources’(Royal Dutch Shell, ‘The Shell Global Scenarios to2025.

It was for such reas<strong>on</strong>s that the lowemissi<strong>on</strong>svehicle program enacted by several USstates to stimulate innovati<strong>on</strong> and secure emissi<strong>on</strong>sreducti<strong>on</strong>s didn’t require merely that emissi<strong>on</strong>sstandards be met. That goal could have beenachieved merely by tweaking existing technologythrough, for instance, introducing very efficientcatalysts. Rather, the program recognised that someec<strong>on</strong>omically-’unjustified’ zero-emissi<strong>on</strong>s vehicleshad to be introduced as well, in order to jumpstartmore serious technological change. The mostefficient short-term soluti<strong>on</strong>, it was understood,would not necessarily deliver envir<strong>on</strong>mentallysuperiortechnological innovati<strong>on</strong> (David M. Driesen,‘Does Emissi<strong>on</strong>s Trading Encourage Innovati<strong>on</strong>?’,Envir<strong>on</strong>mental Law Reporter News and Analysis 33,2003, p. 10094).157 Margaret Taylor et al., op. cit. supra note 153; DavidPopp, ‘Polluti<strong>on</strong> C<strong>on</strong>trol Innovati<strong>on</strong>s and the CleanAir Act of 1990’, Journal of Policy Analysis andManagement 93, 2003, p. 390.158 David M.

Moore, op. cit. supra note 61, p. 11, whostates that the market did have a role, but writesdryly that the ‘innovati<strong>on</strong>’ it stimulated was ‘in newrailroad tracks, <strong>on</strong>- and off-loading systems andother ways of bringing lower-sulphur coal from thePowder River Basin to market’.
