CORRECTED - POLL-TABLE-EU carbon emissions, price forecasts to 2020
(Corrects SocGen's 2009 price forecast to 17 euros from 22.6. Adds footnote on New Carbon Finance's emissions estimates)
Feb 18 (Reuters) - Falling industrial output from the global economic slowdown has caused European Union industrial carbon emissions to fall in 2008 and beyond, which will lead to lower demand for and cheaper price of the carbon permits called EU Allowances (EUAs).
Following is a table showing analysts' forecasts for total carbon dioxide emissions by companies participating in the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme in selected years and averaged across the scheme's second phase from 2008-12 (P2) and across the second and third phases from 2008-20 (P2+P3).
In addition, the table shows surplus or shortage (long/short) estimates for EUAs. For a related story click on [ID:nLH373929]

(1) Point Carbon's figures include EU-27 + Norway (2) Deutsche Bank's EUA price forecast represents the fundamental fair value based on a rational and efficient market, but the analyst expects 2009 prices to trade below 10 euros a tonne. (3) New Carbon Finance's figures include EU-27, Norway and Liechtenstein as well as aviation from 2012. (Compiled by Nina Chestney and Michael Szabo, editing by Anthony Barker)
