The principal aim of this report is to turn the latest research on environment-related risk factors facing thermal coal assets into actionable investment hypotheses for investors. By examining the fundamental drivers of environment-related risk, creating appropriate measures to differentiate the...

One of the most disputable aspects of Russia's energy markets reform is the feasibility of achieving grid parity between different energy sources, of their so called inter-fuel competition level indices. Thus, in particular, one of the possible future components of the Russian market for...

Quasi-fiscal deficits of public utility companies are common in all member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). They constitute a significant impediment to efficient resource allocation and endanger macroeconomic stability. This paper presents a simple framework for...

We collect ownership data of U.S. power plants accounting for 99% of U.S. electricity generation over the 2008-2020 period. Domestic listed corporations have reduced their ownership from 69% to 54% of total generation, while private equity, institutional investors, and foreign corporations have...

In this study, the long-run and short-run relationships between Turkish electricity production and its energy sources, thermal and hydro, is empirically examined using cointegration, error correction technique, and the FIML method. Additionally, the Granger Causality between the mentioned series...

In order to mitigate climate change, new solutions are being sought by energy companies to reduce CO2 emissions from offshore production facilities. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) may be a technically and economically viable alternative option compared to electrification of offshore facilities...

The following is an excerpt from a paper published in the Journal of the Association of Professional Engineers of Trinidad and Tobago by Murray and Furlonge (2009). It examines the potential of using methanol as an alternative fuel for power generation in the Caribbean. Technical and economic...

Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich im Kern mit der Frage auseinander, wie sich der aktuelle Energiemix in Deutschland und Europa zusammensetzt, welche grundlegenden Herausforderungen im Bereich Energieversorgung künftig auf die Länder Europas zukommen und mit welchen Strategien auf drohende...

This paper studies innovation dynamics in efficiency improving electricity generation technologies as an important means of mitigating climate change impacts. Relevant patents are identified and used as an indicator of innovation. We find that patenting in efficiency improving technologies has...

In this paper we analyze the relative importance and mutual behavior of two competing base-load electricity generation options that each are capable of contributing significantly to the abatement of global CO2 emissions: nuclear energy and coal-based power production complemented with CO2...
