For example, the first phase of the EU Emissions Trading program, which contained several design flaws that have since been rectified, has already been found to have reduced emissions by around 100 million tonnes of CO2 mostly by forcing a shift of load from coal to gas power plants and providing an incentive for inefficient coal plants to improve the thermal efficiency of their boilers.

Not according to a new econometric study that concludes no more than 20% of existing coal generation is likely to switch over to gas, even if the Environmental Protection Agency drives up the cost of coal generation and gas prices stay at their current, low rates indefinitely.
FORBES: Frack Gas Not Likely To Displace King Coal, Study Suggests
The agency also suggested that high coal prices combined with a drop in natural gas prices saw nations replace coal with less polluting gas-powered electricity generation.
The consequence is that electric power production is going to migrate from coal to gas.
He said that without subsidies the energy market would focus on coal and gas instead.
In your standard fossil-fuel power plant, the inefficiency begins when the coal or gas ignites.
He said the decision followed the downward trend in recent oil, coal and gas prices.
The biggest is probably the large amount of coal to gas switching occurring in the power generation industry.
