Modeling Linkages Between Climate Policy and Land Use: An Overview
Werf, Edwin van der; Peterson, Sonja - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007
Agriculture and forestry play an important role in emitting and storing greenhouse gases. For an efficient and cost-effective climate policy it is therefore important to explicitly include land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) in economy-climate models. This paper gives an overview...

Trade of Woody Biomass for Electricity Generation under Climate Mitigation Policy
Favero, Alice; Massetti, Emanuele - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
Bio-energy has the potential to be a key mitigation option if combined with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) because it generates electricity and absorbs emissions at the same time. However, biomass is not distributed evenly across the globe, and regions with a potentially high demand...
