Associated policy interventions, their components and the affected components
| Policy intervention | Description | Implemented in | Affects component |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apply emission and energy intensity standards | Apply emission intensity standards for e.g. cars (gCO2/km), power plants (gCO2/kWh) or appliances (kWh/hour). | ||
| Implementation of biofuel targets | Policies to enhance the use of biofuels, especially in the transport sector. In the Agricultural economy component only 'first generation' crops are taken into account.
