A Comparison Between Shale Gas in China and Unconventional Fuel Development in the United States: Health, Water and Environmental Risks
Farah, Paolo D.; Tremolada, Riccardo - 2013
China is appraised to have the world's largest exploitable reserves of shale gas, although several legal, regulatory, environmental and investment-related issues will likely restrain its scope. China's capacity to successfully face these hurdles and produce commercial shale gas will have a...

European power struggles: Can EU's decarbonisation agenda break the state-company axis in the power sector?
Sattich, Thomas; Ydersbond, Inga; Scholten, Daniel - 2015
Europe's power system is still marked by a distinct national component, and despite some regions with strongly integrated power systems, electricity supply today still has a largely national basis. Policies to decarbonise the power sector may fundamentally alter this situation, because power...

Carbon Price and Wind Power Support in Denmark
Gavard, Claire - 2015
This paper aims at characterizing the conditions of wind power deployment in order to infer a carbon price level that would provide wind power with comparable advantage over fossil fuel technologies as effective wind support policies. The analysis is conducted on Danish data from 2000 to 2010,...

Energy Efficiency Policy with Price-quality Discrimination
Nauleau, Marie-Laure; Giraudet, Louis-Gaëtan; Quirion, … - 2015
We compare a range of energy efficiency policies in a durable good market subject to both energy-use externalities and price-quality discrimination by a monopolist. We find that the social optimum can be achieved with differentiated subsidies. With ad valorem subsidies, the subsidization of the...
