This document explores various scenarios of global warming and greenhouse gas emissions from 2003 to 2050, focusing on electricity generation trends and the impact of emissions from different sectors. It highlights the changes in electricity generation, including the contributions from renewable sources, coal, and gas. The analysis includes emissions trajectories and the importance of innovation in achieving zero-emissions goals by 2050. Furthermore, it outlines the phases of establishing an emissions trading scheme and the collaborative adoption of technologies to mitigate climate change effectively.

Timeframe • Phase 1 – Foundations – years 0-1 (2007 to 2008) • Finalise scheme design, establish emission reporting systems, determine long term aspirational goal, engage international partners • Phase 2 – Establishment – year 2 (2009) • Pass relevant legislation, establish governance structures (independent regulator and advisory panel), broaden international cooperation (focusing on countries considering emissions trading), rationalise state/territory programmes • Phase 3 – Trading - years 3-4 (2010-2011) • Set short term targets, allocate permits, commence trading in 2011, explore linkages with other countries
