Designing Voluntary Pollution Prevention Programs in the Real World: Some Stories from the Front Lines
Jonathan Koomey, Ph.D.Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Results with policy or program that reduces transaction costs
Source: Adapted from Katrin Ostertag Transaction costs of raising energy efficiency. Working paper, May 1999. Presented at the IEA International Workshop on Technologies to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Engineering-Economic Analyses of Conserved Energy and Carbon. Washington, DC. 5-7 May 1999. This example assumes that the energy efficient technology delivers the exact same service as the standard technology.

Industrial Sector Voluntary Agreements by Companies
Company Sector Focus of Agreement Target/Period
British Petroleum Oil GHG Emissions 10% below 1990 in 2010
BHPSteel, Mining, OilGas GHG Emissions Hold 2000 emissions to 1995 level
Conoco Oil Energy15% improvement in energy useper pound of product between1990 and 2000
Dow Chemicals Energy20% reduction in energy use perpound of product by 2005
DuPontPetroleum Refining,Chemicals GHG Emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2000
Royal Dutch Shell Oil, Chemicals GHG Emissions 10% below 1990 levels by 2002

Conclusions Data on current efficiency and future
potentials are critical to — negotiations with industry— implementation of programs
Voluntary programs create champions within companies who promote energy efficiency inside the institution
Voluntary programs reduce transaction costs and allow consumers to capture cost-effective savings (pollution prevention at a profit)
