Problems estimating the carbon Kuznets curve
Itkonen, Juha V.A. - In: Energy 39 (2012) 1, pp. 274-280
We discover flaws in the foundations of a recent strand of literature estimating the carbon Kuznets curve (CKC). The CKC hypothesizes that carbon dioxide emissions initially increase with economic growth but that the relationship is eventually reversed. The recent literature attempts to estimate...

A guide to life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electric supply technologies
Weisser, Daniel - In: Energy 32 (2007) 9, pp. 1543-1559
This manuscript reviews and compares the results of recent greenhouse gas (GHG) emission life-cycle analyses. Specific attention is paid to fossil energy technologies, nuclear and renewable energy technologies (RETs), as well as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and energy storage systems....

Model projections for household energy use in developing countries
Daioglou, Vassilis; Ruijven, Bas J. van; Vuuren, Detlef … - In: Energy 37 (2012) 1, pp. 601-615
The residential sector plays an important role in the energy system of developing countries. In this paper we introduce a bottom up simulation model for household energy use. The model describes energy demand for several end-use functions based on a set of physical drivers, such as floor space...

CO2 emissions attributed to annual average electricity consumption in OECD (the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries
Soimakallio, Sampo; Saikku, Laura - In: Energy 38 (2012) 1, pp. 13-20
When regulating GHG emissions at the country or product level, it is critical to determine the GHG emissions from electricity consumption. In this study, we calculated production-based and consumption-based CO2 emission intensities of electricity for the OECD (the Organisation for Economic...

Implementation of different policy strategies promoting the use of wood fuel in the Latvian district heating system: Impact evaluation through a system dynamic model
Romagnoli, Francesco; Barisa, Aiga; Dzene, Ilze; … - In: Energy 76 (2014) C, pp. 210-222
The Latvian district heating system historically is characterized with a high share of imported natural gas. The paper looks at the situation where specific policy tools significantly increase the proportion of renewables, in particular of wood fuel, in the energy balance.

Coal phase-out in Germany – Implications and policies for affected regions
Oei, Pao-Yu; Hermann, Hauke; Herpich, Philipp; … - In: Energy 196 (2020)
The present study examines the consequences of the planned coal phase-out in Germany according to various phase-out pathways that differ in the ordering of power plant closures. Soft-linking an energy system model with an input-output model and a regional macroeconomic model simulates the...

Energy and exergy utilizations of the U.S. manufacturing sector
Al-Ghandoor, A.; Phelan, P.E.; Villalobos, R.; Jaber, J.O. - In: Energy 35 (2010) 7, pp. 3048-3065
The energy and exergy utilizations in the U.S. manufacturing sector are analyzed by considering the energy and exergy … the Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS). Since the MECS data exhibit many gaps, data from other sources are … efficiencies of the manufacturing sector are estimated as 63.5% and 38.8% respectively, while the embodied energy and exergy …
