The transport sector offers limited options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as compared with other sectors, such as … emissions through fuel substitution or transportation service demand reduction, this study estimates own- and cross …-price elasticities of various fuels used for transportation. The analysis shows, like many previous studies, that an increase in fuel …

Power generation is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, and is in turn likely to be heavily affected by climate change. Earlier analyses have shown that in Southern Europe, including Italy, there is a V-shaped relationship between temperature and electricity usage. Higher temperatures...
