Angesichts endlicher fossiler Energieressourcen und eines drohenden Klimawandels stellt sich die Frage, welchen Beitrag der Einsatz der Wasserstofftechnologie zur Versorgungssicherheit und zur Reduzierung der Emissionen von Kohlendioxid (CO2) beitragen kann. Wasserstoff stellt keine primäre...

Zwei Themen dominieren die derzeitige energiepolitische Debatte: der Klimawandel und die Versorgungssicherheit. Damit der Verkehrssektor bei zunehmender Mobilität von Personen und Gütern einen Beitrag zu diesen Zielen leisten kann, werden neben Maßnahmen, die an der Effizienz der Motoren, der...

A theoretical and empirical model is developed to analyze the effect of a biodiesel mandate, a tax exemption (tax credit) and an exogenous diesel price shock on world soybean and canola markets. The jointness in crushing oil and meal from the oilseed reduces the size of the link between...

Using an empirical model, this study provides some insights into the functioning of the oilseed-biodiesel-diesel market complex in a large country that determines the biodiesel price, reflecting market equilibrium changes resulting from volatility in the crude oil price. Oilseed crushing...

The question of whether biofuels help mitigate climate change has attracted much debate in the literature. Using a global computable general equilibrium model that explicitly represents land-use change impacts due to the expansion of biofuels, this study attempts to shed some light on this...

Recent increases in production of crop-based (or first-generation) biofuels have engendered increasing concerns over potential conflicts with food supplies and land protection, as well as disputes over greenhouse gas reductions. This has heightened a sense of urgency around the development of...
