Determining the success of carbon capture and storage projects

Thronicker, Dominique; Lange, Ian - 2015

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is regarded as one of the most important technologies to mitigate climate change while providing fossil-fuel based energy security. During the past decade, projects in support of the development and deployment of the technology have been initiated across the...

Airline fuel usage and carbon emissions : determining factors

Brueckner, Jan K.; Abreu, Chrystyane - 2016

Using annual data on individual US airlines over the 1995-2015 period, this paper presents regression results relating an airline's total fuel usage to seven variables: the available ton miles of capacity (passengers plus freight and mail) provided by the airline; the average seat capacity of its...

Climate treaties and backstop technologies

Barrett, Scott - 2010

In this paper I examine the design of climate treaties when there exist two kinds of technology, a conventional abatement technology with (linearly) increasing marginal costs and a backstop technology ("air capture") with high but constant marginal costs. I focus on situations in which countries...

The monopolistic polluter under environmental liability law : incentives for abatement and R&D

Endres, Alfred; Friehe, Tim - 2011

This paper analyzes the output, abatement, and investment decisions made by a monopolistic polluter under environmental liability law. The model applied considers both integrated and end-of-pipe abatement technologies. We find that in the case of fixed technology, in many instances negligence...

Why are firms that export cleaner? : international trade and CO2 emissions

Forslid, Rikard; Okubo, Toshihiro; Ulltveit-Moe, Karen … - 2014 - This version: May 2014

This paper develops a model of trade and CO2 emissions with heterogenous firms, where firms make abatement investments and thereby have an impact on their level of emissions. The model shows that investments in abatements are positively related to firm productivity and firm exports. Emission...

Fiscal and regulatory instruments for clean technology development in the European Union

Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Popp, David - 2015

This policy note investigates whether the current level of public support to environment-friendly technologies is sufficient to allow European countries to respond to the multiple challenges posed by climate change and other environmental concerns. We first lay out the justifications for...

The transition to carbon capture and storage technologies

Golombek, Rolf; Greaker, Mads; Kverndokk, Snorre; Ma, Lin - 2021

We model the value chain of Carbon Capture, transport and Storage (CCS) by focusing on the decisions taking by actors involved in either capture, transport or storage of CO2. Plants emitting CO2 are located along a Salop circle. If these invest in carbon capture facilities, the captured CO2 is...

Effects of green technology support policies on carbon dioxide emissions

Moessner, Richhild - 2024

This paper provides ex-post empirical evidence on the effects of green technology support policies, in comparison with other climate policies, on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. The paper uses cross-country dynamic panel estimation for a sample of 38 countries over the...
