An economic assessment of soil carbon sequestration with biochar in Germany
Teichmann, Isabel - 2015
Biochar is a carbon-rich solid obtained from the heating of biomass in the (near) absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Its soil incorporation is increasingly discussed as a means to sequester carbon in soils and, thus, to help mitigate climate change. When deployed in agricultural...

Offsetting versus mitigation activities to reduce CO 2 emissions : a theoretical and empirical analysis for the US and Germany
Lange, Andreas; Ziegler, Andreas - 2012
This paper studies the voluntary provision of public goods that is partially driven by a desire to offset for individual polluting activities. We first extend existing theory and show that offsets allow a reduction in effective environmental pollution levels while not necessarily extending the...
