Forecast Analysis -
This report responds to a February 5, 2007 request from Senators Joseph Lieberman and John McCain asking EIA to estimate of the economic impacts of S.280,
the Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act of 2007. S. 280 would
establish a series of caps on greenhouse gas emissions starting in
2012 followed by increasingly stringent caps beginning in 2020, 2030
and 2050. The report provides estimates of the effects of S. 280 on energy
markets and the economy through 2030.

Requestors: Senator Bingaman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Senator Landrieu, Murkowski, Specter, Salazar, and Lugar
This report was prepared by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), in response to a September 27, 2006, request from Senators Bingaman, Landrieu, Murkowski, Specter, Salazar, and Lugar. The Senators requested that EIA assess the impacts of a proposal that would regulate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) through an allowance cap-and-trade system. The program would set the cap to achieve a reduction in emissions relative to economic output, or greenhouse gas intensity.

Highlights/Summary Section - (also available in printer-friendly version )
Full Report - (also available in printer-friendly version )
Forecast Analysis - On January 9, 2003, Senators John McCain and Joseph Lieberman introduced S.139, the Climate Stewardship Act of 2003 (S.139), in the U.S. Senate. This report responds to a request from Senator James Inhofe, received on January 28, 2003, and Senators John McCain and Joseph Lieberman, received on April 2, 2003, to analyze the impact of S.139. S.139 would establish regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions primarily through an emission allowance program and related emissions reporting requirements. The emissions allowance program would apply to most greenhouse gas emissions sources, the exceptions being the emissions from the residential and agriculture sectors, as well as emissions from organizational entities whose annual emissions are less than a certain threshold.

Power Plant Emissions Reductions Using a Generation Performance Standard - (also available in printer-friendly version![](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20080916183025im_/http://www.eia.doe.gov/images/pdf.gif)
Forecast Analysis - In an earlier analysis completed in response to a request received from Representative David McIntosh, Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Economic Growth, Natural Resources, and Regulatory Affairs, the Energy Information Administration analyzed the impacts of power sector caps on nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide emissions, assuming a policy instrument patterned after the sulfur dioxide allowance program created in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. This paper compares the results of that work with the results of an analysis that assumes the use of a dynamic generation performance standard as an instrument for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. In general, the results of the two analyses are similar: to reduce carbon dioxide emissions the power sector is expected to turn away from coal-fired generation to natural gas and, to a lesser extent, renewables.
