To investigate the link between rising global temperature and global energy use, we estimate an energy demand model … that is driven by temperature changes, prices and income. The estimation is based on an unbalanced panel of 157 countries …-linearities in the impact of temperature on energy demand as well as temperature-income interactions. We find that oil, gas and …

The European Union (EU) is actively campaigning for the global regulation of carbon emissions generated by maritime bunker fuels because these emissions are presently barely regulated and are projected to increase significantly in the coming decades. However, since a global regulation has not...

In this paper, we analyze how much the shipping sector could contribute to global CO2 emission reductions from an efficiency point of view. To do this, a marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) for the shipping sector is generated that can be combined with a MACC for conventional CO2 abatement in...
