European Forests and Carbon Sequestration Services : An Economic Assessment of Climate Change Impacts

Ding, Helen; Nunes, Paulo A. L. D.; Teelucksingh, Sonja S. - 2015

This paper reports an original economic valuation of the impact of climate change on the provision of forest regulating services in Europe. To the authors’ knowledge the current paper represents the first systematic attempt to estimate human well-being losses with respect to changes in...

Contracting for Impure Public Goods : Carbon Offsets and Additionality

Mason, Charles F. - 2014

Governments contracting with private agents for the provision of an impure public good must contend with agents who would potentially supply the good absent any payments. This additionality problem is centrally important in the use of carbon offsets as part of climate change mitigation....

The Potential of REDD+ for Carbon Sequestration in Tropical Forests : Supply Curves for Carbon Storage for Kalimantan, Indonesia

Indrajaya, Yonky - 2016

We study the potential of tropical multi-age multi-species forests for sequestering carbon in response to financial incentives from REDD+. The use of reduced impact logging techniques (RIL) allows a forest owner to apply for carbon credits whereas the use of conventional logging techniques (CL)...

Nuclear Versus Coal Plus CCS : A Comparison of Two Competitive Base-Load Climate Control Options

Tavoni, Massimo - 2009

In this paper we analyze the relative importance and mutual behavior of two competing base-load electricity generation options that each are capable of contributing significantly to the abatement of global CO2 emissions: nuclear energy and coal-based power production complemented with CO2...

The Role of Carbon Capture and Storage Electricity in Attaining 1.5 and 2°C

Vinca, Adriano - 2017

The climate targets defined under the Paris agreement of limiting global temperature increase below 1.5 or 2°C require massive deployment of low-carbon options in the energy mix, which is currently dominated by fossil fuels. Scenarios suggest that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) might play a...

Advances and Slowdowns in Carbon Capture and Storage Technology Development

D'Aprile, Aurora - 2016

With the long term goal of holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C and "to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C", the Paris Agreement puts renewed attention on the portfolio of technologies needed to achieve consistent emission reductions...

Carbon Sequestration With Reforestations and Biodiversity - Scenic Values

Caparros, Alejandro - 2015

This paper presents an optimal control model to analyze reforestations with two different species, including commercial values, carbon sequestration and biodiversity or scenic values. We solve the model qualitatively with general functions and discuss the implications of partial or total...

How Co2 Capture and Storage can Mitigate Carbon Leakage

Quirion, Philippe; Rozenberg, Julie; Sassi, Olivier; … - 2014

“carbon leakage”. On the other hand, if the countries which abate CO2 emissions are net fossil fuel importers, they benefit … fossil fuel demand, therefore it generates neither this type of leakage nor this negative feedback on abatement costs. We … important. Indeed, for a given unilateral abatement in OECD countries, leakage is more than halved in a scenario with CCS …

On the Economics of Forest Carbon : Renewable and Carbon Neutral But Not Emission Free

Lintunen, Jussi; Uusivuori, Jussi - 2014

First-best optimal forest sector carbon policy is examined. Using a comprehensive forest sector model with a detailed carbon cycle section we show that the renewability and carbon neutrality arguments do not warrant emission free treatment of forest bioenergy. However, under the biomass stock...
