The Polluter Pays Principle and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Climate Change: An Application of Fund

Tol, Richard S.J. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

); (3) NC CBA with international permit trade; (4) NC CBA with joint and several liability for climate change damages; and … (5) NC CBA with liability proportional to a country’s share in cumulative emissions. As estimates of the marginal damage … the positive, dynamic externalities of abatement. Proportional liability shifts abatement effort towards the richer …

Energy and Environmental Issues and Policy in China

Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

China’s rampant environmental pollution problems and rising greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting climate change are undermining its long-term economic growth. China, from its own perspective cannot afford to and, from an international perspective, is not meant to continue on the...

Nuclear versus Coal plus CCS: A Comparison of Two Competitive Base-load Climate Control Options

Tavoni, Massimo; Zwaan, Bob van der - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

-based power production complemented with CO2 capture and storage (CCS). We also investigate how, in scenarios from an integrated … extensive the improvements of coal-based power equipped with CCS technology would need to be if our model is to significantly …

Carbon Capture; Transport and Storage in Europe: A Problematic Energy Bridge to Nowhere?

Herold, Johannes; Rüster, Sophia; Hirschhausen, … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

This paper is a follow up of the SECURE-project, financed by the European Commission to study “Security of Energy Considering its Uncertainties, Risks and Economic Implications”. It addresses the perspectives of, and the obstacles to a CCTS-roll out, as stipulated in some of the scenarios....

From Expert Elicitations to Integrated Assessment: Future Prospects of Carbon Capture Technologies

Ricci, Elena Claire; Bosetti, Valentina; Baker, Erin - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014

This paper analyzes the future prospects of carbon capture technologies. The first part of the analysis presents and discusses the results of an expert elicitation survey on a broad range of carbon capture options. The survey collected probabilistic estimates on the future values of energy...

Bioenergy and CO2 Sequestration: Climate Policies Beyond Technological Constraints

Bibas, Ruben; Méjean, Aurélie - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

This paper examines the role of electricity production from biomass with and without carbon capture and storage in sustaining low CO2 emission pathways to 2100. It quantifies the effect of the availability of biomass resources and technologies within a general equilibrium framework. Biomass-fed...

Facing the Experts: Survey Mode and Expert Elicitation

Baker, Erin; Bosetti, Valentina; Jenni, Karen E.; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014

In this paper we compare the results of two different expert elicitation methods: in-person interviews and a self-administered web-based survey. Traditional expert elicitation has been done face to face, with an elicitor meeting with an expert for a few hours to several days, depending on the...

(Self-) Enforcement of Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism Contracts

Janssen, Josef - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 1999

International climate protection investments (Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism projects) are burdened with problems of contract enforcement, which prevent the realisation of efficiency gains associated with these investments. The paper analyses this problem from the...

A Quantitative Assessment of the Implications of Including non-CO2 Emissions in the European ETS

Orecchia, Carlo; Parrado, Ramiro - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

Although CO2 emissions stand for most of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the contribution of mitigation efforts based on non-CO2 emissions is still a field that needs to be explored more thoroughly. Extending abatement opportunities to non-CO2 could reduce overall mitigation costs but it could...

Linkage of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Systems: Learning from Experience

Ranson, Matthew; Stavins, Robert N. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014

The last ten years have seen the growth of linkages between many of the world’s cap-and-trade systems for greenhouse gases (GHGs), both directly between systems, and indirectly via connections to credit systems such as the Clean Development Mechanism. If nations have tried to act in their own...
