Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Inducing Energy Conservation and Distributed Generation from Elimination of Electric Utility Customer Charges
Pearce, Joshua M. - 2012
This paper quantifies the increased green house gas emissions and negative effect on energy conservation (or “efficiency penalty”) due to electric rate structures that employ an unavoidable customer charge. First the extent of customer charges was determined from a nationwide survey of U.S....

Estimating long-term global supply costs for low-carbon hydrogen
Brändle, Gregor; Schönfisch, Max; Schulte, Simon - 2020
As part of the decarbonisation of the global economy, low-carbon hydrogen is expected to play acentral role in future energy systems. This article presents a comprehensive approach for estimating thedevelopment of global production and supply costs of low-carbon hydrogen from renewable energy...

Electricity use as a real time indicator of the economic burden of the COVID-19-related lockdown : evidence from Switzerland
Janzen, Benedikt; Radulescu, Doina - 2020
We employ hourly electricity load data for Switzerland as a real time indicator of the economic effects of the lockdown following the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Our findings reveal that following the drastic lockdown, overall electricity use decreased by 4 per cent, with a reduction of even 11.3 per...

The low-carbon rent premium of residential buildings
Brändle, Angelika; Füss, Roland; Schläpfer, Jörg Bjarne - 2022 - This version: July 2022
Based on 39,791 rental contracts from 2,438 residential properties in the Swiss real estate market, we study how a property’s CO2 emissions affect net rental values. We use a novel measure of operational carbon emissions which relies on various parameters related to the sustainability and...

Energy security, uncertainty, and energy resource use option in Ethiopia : a sector modelling approach
Guta, Dawit Diriba; Börner, Jan - 2015
Ethiopia’s energy sector faces critical challenges to meeting steadily increasing demand given limited infrastructure, heavy reliance on hydroelectric power, and underdevelopment of alternative energy resources. The main aim of this paper is to investigate an optimal least cost investment...

Coal and gas - from cradle to grave with carbon capture and storage : an efficiency analysis
Steinkraus, Arne - 2015
Existing studies on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) only focus on costs and carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction that arise at the power plant and geological storage. These studies do not consider additional expenses and emissions at the input and output pathways. Consequently, we use a simulation...
