Levelling the playing field : on the missing role of network externality in designing renewable energy technology deployment policies

Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2015

In creating a level playing field that facilitates the deployment of renewable energy technology (RET), the traditional energy policy regime based on eliminating RET's cost gaps versus fossil energy technology (FET) may be not sufficient. Building on an economic model of energy technology...

On the mechanism of international technology diffusion for energy technological progress

Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2015

International diffusion of energy-saving technologies has received considerable attention in recent energy and climate economics studies. As a helpful methodological complement to the existing large-scale CGE/IAM-based modelling for energy and climate policy studies, this paper contributes to a...

Impact of revised CO2 growth projections for China on global stabilization goals

Blanford, Geoffrey J.; Richels, Richard G.; Rutherford, … - 2008

Recent growth in carbon dioxide emissions from China's energy sector has exceeded expectations. In a major US government study of future emissions released in 2007 (1), participating models appear to have substantially underestimated the near-term rate of increase in China's emissions. We...

Making China the transition to a low-carbon economy : key challenges and responses

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2015

China has realized that for its own sake and from the international community’s perspective, it cannot afford to continue along the conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. Accordingly, the country has placed ecological goals at the same level of...

Carbon emissions trading in China : the evolution from pilots to a nationwide scheme

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2015

The Chinese central government has approved the seven pilot carbon trading schemes. These seven pilot regions are deliberately selected to be at varying stages of development and are given considerable leeway to design their own schemes. These pilot trading schemes have features in common, but...

Crossing the river by feeling the stones : the case of carbon trading in China

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2015

Putting a price on carbon is considered a crucial step for China's endeavor of harnessing the market forces to reduce its energy consumption and carbon emissions. Indeed, aligned with China's grand experiment with low-carbon provinces and low-carbon cities in six provinces and thirty-six cities,...

China's carbon market : development, evaluation, coordination of local and national carbon markets and common prosperity

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2022

To achieve the commitments to both carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, China should focus on those policies of significant impact on emissions reduction at the lowest cost. Launching the national carbon market with the power generation sector is a good start point in this direction. Since its...

Alternate solutions in mixing energy tax/subsidy and emission control policies

Heydari, Shahriar Shah; Vestergaard, Niels - 2015

In this article, we look at the combination of several market-based climate and energy policies and compare them with first best solution, i.e., a perfectly designed emission tax or emission cap level. It is shown that in the case an emission control policy is imperfect designed or implemented,...

Climate policy under technology spillovers

Golombek, Rolf; Hoel, Michael - 2003

Technological development is likely to play an important role in curbing growth in greenhouse gas emissions. It is therefore important to incorporate factors influencing technological change in climate policy analyses. This paper studies climate policy when there are technology spillovers...
