Optimal Subsidies for Green Hydrogen Production

Fell, Harrison; Holland, Stephen P.; Yates, Andrew J. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Green hydrogen may decarbonize sectors which are difficult to electrify, and the recent Inflation Reduction Act (IRA …) provides tax credits to encourage hydrogen production. We analyze a model in which hydrogen produced using electricity replaces … absence of Pigouvian taxation, optimal hydrogen subsidies are positive if the unpriced externality from avoided natural gas is …

Measuring the Impact of Own and Others’ Experience on Project Costs in the U.S. Wind Generation Industry

Anderson, John W. - 2019

We investigate the relationship between accumulated experience completing wind power projects and the cost of installing wind projects in the U.S. from 2001-2015. Our modeling framework disentangles accumulated experience from input price changes, scale economies, and exogenous technical change;...

Level versus Variability Trade-offs in Wind and Solar Generation Investments : The Case of California

Wolak, Frank A. - 2016

Hourly plant-level wind and solar generation output and real-time price data for one year from the California ISO control area is used to estimate the vector of means and the contemporaneous covariance matrix of hourly output and revenues across all wind and solar locations in the state. Annual...

The Learning Process and Technological Change in Wind Power : Evidence from China's CDM Wind Projects

Tang, Tian - 2014

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a project-based carbon trade mechanism that subsidizes the users of climate-friendly technologies and encourages technology transfer. The CDM has provided financial support for a large share of Chinese wind projects since 2002. Using pooled...

Not in My Backyard? The Local Impact of Wind and Solar Parks in Brazil

Scheifele, Fabian; Popp, David - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

Support from local citizens is important for the scale-up of renewable energy. We investigate the impact of utility-scale wind and solar parks on employment, GDP and public finances in Brazilian municipalities using a difference-in-differences design with matching. We find a positive employment...

Understanding Cross-National Trends in High-Tech Renewable Power Equipment Exports to the United States

Sawhney, Aparna - 2011

We track US imports of advanced technology wind and solar power-generation equipment from a panel of countries during 1989-2010, and examine the determining factors including sector-specific US FDI outflow, country size, and domestic wind and solar power generation. Differentiating between the...

Causal Effects of Renewable Portfolio Standards on Renewable Investments and Generation : The Role of Heterogeneity and Dynamics

Deschênes, Olivier; Malloy, Christopher; McDonald, Gavin G. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Despite a 30-year long history, Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) remain controversial and debates continue to surround their efficacy in leading the low-carbon transition in the electricity sector. Contributing to the ongoing debates is the lack of definitive causal evidence on their impact...

Distributional Equity in the Employment and Wage Impacts of Energy Transitions

Gilbert, Benjamin; Gagarin, Hannah; Hoen, Ben - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We use restricted-access, geocoded data on the near-universe of workers in 23 U.S. states in order to quantify the impact of wind energy development on local earnings and employment, by race, ethnicity, sex, and educational attainment. We find the largest relative impacts for workers without a...
