Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water / Modelling of the Transport Sector and its Responses to Emissions Trading Scheme - NETT-2007-07

The National Emissions Trading Taskforce is seeking to investigate the potential impacts of a national emissions trading scheme with broad coverage. It is expected that the modelling exercise will be a highly iterative process, with several several bottom up models integrating with a CGE model.
The purpose of the modelling exercise is to assist the Taskforce in answering the following types of questions:

• What are the emissions projections in a business-as-usual case for the four transport sub-sectors over the period 2010-30?
  
• What abatement activities currently, and in the future can be undertaken in the transport sector? (Consider both technological and behavioural changes.)
  
• What are the likely costs of these abatement activities?
  
• How are a range of carbon prices likely to impact transport costs (particularly fuel prices)?
  
• What short-run and long-run price elasticities of demand are likely to be observed over a range of increases in fuel costs?
  
• What are the likely impacts of including the transport sector in the coverage of an emissions trading scheme (i.e. by applying a carbon price to transport emissions, under scenarios of varying emissions constraints), including on:
  - uptake of abatement activities;
  - fuel prices;
  - specific modes of transport;
  - specific industries or customers; and
  - particular regions?
  
• What are the potential costs of achieving emissions abatement in the transport sector through policies or programs other than an emissions trading scheme?
