Effects of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage in Germany on European Electricity Exchange and Welfare
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-06-06)In the course of European efforts to mitigate global warming, the application of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies is discussed as a potential option. Some political opposition was raised – inter alia ... -
Energy Supply and the Sustainability of Endogenous Growth
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-07-13)The paper provides an introduction to energy and, respective resource use within the framework of endogenous growth models. We provide an overview of different modeling approaches as well as intuition with respect to the ... -
Evaluation of Two Alternative Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies: A Stochastic Model
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-03-03)In this paper we evaluate two alternative CCS technologies of a coal-fired power plant from an investor’s point of view. The first technology uses CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) paired with storage in deep saline ... -
ICT Applications in the Research for Environmental Sustainability
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-11-08)Whether Information and Communication Technology (ICT) constitutes a threat to or a cure for environmental deterioration is a matter of controversy. Empirical evidence on the impacts of ICT is rare, so few generalisable ... -
Impacts of Climate Change on European Critical Infrastructures: The Case of the Power Sector
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-06-24)Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases cause climate change and this change in turn induces various direct impacts, e.g., changes in regional weather patterns. The frequency of heat waves and droughts in Europe is ... -
International Climate Finance and its Influence on Fairness and Policy
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-07-07)Besides costs and benefits, fairness aspects tend to influence negotiating parties’ willingness to join an international agreement on climate change mitigation. Fairness is largely considered to improve the prospects ... -
International Support of Climate Change Policies in Developing Countries: Strategic, Moral and Fairness Aspects
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-02-01)International transfers in climate policy channeled from the industrialized to the developing world either support the mitigation of climate change or the adaptation to global warming. From an allocative efficiency point ... -
Local and Global Externalities, Environmental Policies and Growth
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-10-25)The paper analyzes the implications of local and global pollution when two types of abatement activities can be undertaken. One type reduces solely local pollution (e.g., use of particulate matter filters) while the other ... -
The Green Paradox and Learning-by-doing in the Renewable Energy Sector
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-04-04)We investigate the effect of climate policies on fossil fuel use in the presence of a clean alternative technology that exhibits learning-by-doing. In a two-period framework, the costs of clean and regenerative energy in ... -
The Private Provision of International Impure Public Goods: the Case of Climate Policy
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-09-09)We discuss a tax-transfer scheme that aims at addressing the under-provision problem associated with the private supply of international public goods and at bringing about Pareto optimal allocations internationally. In ... -
Time and tide wait for no man: pioneers and laggards in the deployment of CCS
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-09-25)In Europe the ambitions of individual countries to deploy carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are diverse. Reasons for this are, amongst other things, the heterogeneity of national electricity generation systems ...
