Abstract

Climate change and the expected increase in the price of fossil fuels make inevitable and urgent to move toward a low «carbon» economy. A low carbon future implies an unprecedented energy and economic revolution that will affect the competitiveness of many firms. This study identifies the areas at risk of «carbon leakage» for the specific case of the Basque economy. This «carbon leakage» could raise global emissions if they migrate to countries with less efficient technologies where «carbon» has no price or is not been yet regulated. The results suggest that a 4-6% of productive activity is directly exposed to a risk of «carbon leakage».
