Air pollution and climate change increased the importance of renewable energy resources like solar energy in the last decades. Rack-mounted PhotoVoltaics (PV) and Building Integrated PhotoVoltaics (BIPV) are the most common photovoltaic systems which convert incident solar radiation on façade...

In this study, an inexact optimization modeling approach (IBEM: inexact Beijing energy model) was developed for supporting energy systems planning and air pollution mitigation under uncertainty. This model was based on the integration of multiple inexact optimization techniques, including...

This paper studies a game between a group of countries that have agreed to participate in an international climate agreement ( the signatories) and OPEC. The purpose of the signatories is to design carbon taxes that maximize their total net income, given a goal on global carbon emissions. As...

The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of a unilateral Norwegian carbon tax on the profitability and the the exit probability in 12 carbon-intensive manufacturing sectors.

In order to reach a Pareto optimal outcome with transboundary environmental problems, there must be some kind of international environmental agreement. One possibility is to have an international environmental agreement focusing directly on emissions in each country. Given such an agreement, an...
