High daytime electricity demand from space cooling synergetic with predictable and reliable solar insolation creates a unique opportunity to exploit solar PV-enabled decarbonization solutions in Qatar. This paper examines the economic viability of combining utility-scale PV with ice thermal and...

Solar climate engineering — intentional modification of the planet’s reflectivity — is coming under increasing consideration as a means to counter climate change. At present, it offers the possibility of greatly reducing climate risks, but would pose physical and social risks of its own....

This paper provides ex-post empirical evidence on the effects of green technology support policies, in comparison with other climate policies, on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. The paper uses cross-country dynamic panel estimation for a sample of 38 countries over the...

Fotovoltaik (PV) ist die vielversprechendste Technologie zur nachhaltigen und kosteneffizienten Dekarbonisierung des Elektrizitätssystems. Diese Dissertation untersucht die Entwicklung des PV Sektors in zwei beispielhaften Märkten: Deutschland und Spanien. In einem ersten Schritt werden die...
