Die Sicherheit der europäischen Erdgasversorgung kann durch die konsequente Vollendung des europäischen Binnenmarktes erheblich gesteigert werden; Europa sollte in der Liberalisierung dem Vorbild der Vereinigten Staaten folgen. Russland kommt zwar auch künftig eine gewisse Bedeutung bei der...

Der Pro-Kopf-Stromverbrauch in Indien, der heute noch zwölf Mal niedriger ist als in Deutschland, soll sich laut Prognosen der Internationalen Energie- Agentur bis 2030 verdreifachen. Die dringend erforderliche Elektrifizierung des Landes wird zum überwiegenden Teil mit Stromerzeugung aus...

This paper is a follow up of the SECURE-project, financed by the European Commission to study Security of Energy Considering its Uncertainties, Risks and Economic Implications. It addresses the perspectives of, and the obstacles to a CCTS-roll out, as stipulated in some of the scenarios. Our...

This paper analyses the issues of regulatory reform in the energy industry of post- Soviet countries. We identify the characteristics of the transformation that these countries go through: it is the introduction of a) a new legal culture and b) a capitalist rationality of production in societies...

This paper develops a path for the global energy system up to 2050, presenting a new application of the open source energy systems model OSeMOSYS to the community. It allows quite disaggregate energy and emission analysis: GENeSYS-MOD (Global Energy System Model) uses a system of linear...

Die Notwendigkeit weltweiter Anstrengungen für den Klimaschutz ist unbestritten. Jedoch herrscht über die Fragen, mit welchen Technologien der Energiesektor dekarbonisiert werden soll, keine Einigkeit. Während viele internationale Szenarien auch zukünftig von einer relevanten Rolle für die...

The world needs to continue working to protect the climate-this is generally undisputed. However, there is no agreement on which technologies should be used to decarbonize the energy sector. Many international scenarios still assume a relevant role for nuclear power in the future. However, a...

The aim of this paper is to showcase different decarbonization pathways for Germany and Europe with varying Carbon dioxide (CO2) constraints until 2050. The Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD) framework, a linear mathematical optimization model, is used to compute low-carbon scenarios for...
