Optimal Timing of CCS Policies with Heterogeneous Energy Consumption Sectors
Amigues, Jean-Pierre; Lafforgue, Gilles; Moreaux, Michel - In: Environmental & Resource Economics 57 (2014) 3, pp. 345-366
Using the Chakravorty et al. (J Econ Dyn Control 30:2875–2904, <CitationRef CitationID="CR6">2006</CitationRef>) ceiling model, we characterize the optimal consumption paths of three energy resources: dirty oil, which is non-renewable and carbon emitting; clean oil, which is also non-renewable but carbon-free thanks to an abatement...</citationref>

Optimal Timing of CCS Policies under Decreasing Returns to Scale
Amigues, Jean-Pierre; Lafforgue, Gilles; Moreaux, Michel - Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) - 2014
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) can help to mitigate the climate change transition. Usually, in models where the atmospheric carbon stock is constrained by an institutional stabilization cap and under constant average CCS cost, the use of CCS must be delayed up to the time at which the...

Optimal timing of CCS policies with heterogeneous energy consumption sectors
Amigues, Jean-Pierre; Lafforgue, Gilles; Moreaux, Michel - Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) - 2012
Using the Chakravorty et al. (2006) ceiling model, we characterize the optimal consumption paths of three energy resources: dirty oil, which is non-renewable and carbon emitting; clean oil, which is also non-renewable but carbon-free thanks to an abatement technology, and solar energy, which is...

An energy sustainability metric
Sekulic, Dusan P.; Nehete, Rahul; Yu, Cheng-Nien; Fu, Hai - In: Energy 74 (2014) C, pp. 37-44
In this paper we offer energy metric for evaluating the need for transformational technology in the context of resources management for sustainability. This metric measures the margin for improvement between the actual energy used and the theoretical minimum needed for the same task,...
