Committed emissions from existing and planned power plants and asset stranding required to meet the Paris Agreement
Pfeiffer, Alexander; Hepburn, Cameron; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien - 2018
Over the coming decade, the power sector is expected to invest ~7.2 trillion USD in power plants and grids globally, much of it into CO2-emitting coal and gas plants. These assets typically have a long lifetime and commit large amounts of (future) CO2 emissions. Here, we analyze the historic...

Tale of two countries : emissions scenarios for China and India
Massetti, Emanuele - 2011
The aim of the paper is to present evidence that China and India are, and will remain, two very different actors in international negotiations to control global warming. We base our conclusions on historical data and on scenarios until 2050. The Business-as-Usual scenario (BaU) is compared to...

On the economics of forest carbon : renewable and carbon neutral but not emission free
Lintunen, Jussi; Uusivuori, Jussi Ilkka - 2014 - This version: November 26, 2013
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...

Reaping the carbon rent : abatement and overallocation profits in the European cement industry, insights from an LMDI decomposition analysis
Branger, Frédéric; Quirion, Philippe - 2014
We analyse variations of carbon emissions in the European cement industry from 1990 to 2011, at the European level (EU 27), and at the national level for six major producers (Germany, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Italy and Poland). We apply a Log-Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method, crossing data...

The factors behind CO2 emission reduction in transition economies
Zugravu, Natalia; Millock, Katrin; Duchêne, Gérard - 2008
The Central and Eastern European countries significantly reduced their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions between 1995 and 2003. Was this emission reduction just the fortuitous result of the major economic transformation undergone by countries in the transition? Or is it rather a result of more...
