Economic Policy Evaluation for the Deployment of Alternative Energy Sources in Brazil
Chang, Nicolás - 2016
In this paper we present an economic evaluation of scenarios for the future Brazilian power sector. We regard different paths for the capacity expansion with alternative energy sources aiming at the economically efficient diversification of the electricity mix. The scenarios are constructed in...

Interaction of carbon reduction and green energy promotion in a small fossil-fuel importing economy
Pethig, Rüdiger; Wittlich, Christian - 2009
We study the incidence of carbon-reduction and green-energy promotion policies in a general equilibrium small open economy that depends on imports of fossil fuels. The focus is on mixed policies that are either price based (emissions taxes and producer price subsidies for green energy) or...

Interaction of carbon reduction and green energy promotion in a small fossil-fuel importing economy
Pethig, Rüdiger; Wittlich, Christian - 2009
We study the incidence of carbon-reduction and green-energy promotion policies in an open fossil-fuel importing general equilibrium economy. The focus is on mixed price-based or quantity-based policies. Instruments directed toward promoting green energy are shown to reduce also carbon emissions...

Economic impacts from the promotion of renewable energy technologies : the German experience
Frondel, Manuel; Ritter, Nolan; Schmidt, Christoph M.; … - 2009
The allure of an environmentally benign, abundant, and cost-effective energy source has led an increasing number of industrialized countries to back public financing of renewable energies. Germany's experience with renewable energy promotion is often cited as a model to be replicated elsewhere,...

Analysing bioenergy and land use competition in a coupled modelling system : the role of bioenergy in renewable energy policy in Germany
Delzeit, Ruth; Gömann, Horst; Holm-Müller, Karin; … - 2010
In the context of energy security and climate protection, biomass is given high importance. Nevertheless, land-use conflicts resulting from the cultivation of biomass and their economy-wide effects are yet to be fully understood. To shed light on this issue we link three distinctive models; a...

Biofuels subsidies and the green paradox
Grafton, R. Quentin; Kompas, Tom; Long, Ngo Van - 2010
This paper develops sufficient conditions under which the Weak Green Paradox may (and may not) hold in terms of subsidies for biofuel production such that the supply-side responses by fossil fuel producers may more than offset the substitution to biofuels. Analytical results are derived and...

Is there really a green paradox?
Ploeg, Frederick van der; Withagen, Cees - 2010
The Green Paradox states that, in the absence of a tax on CO2 emissions, subsidizing a renewable backstop such as solar or wind energy brings forward the date at which fossil fuels become exhausted and consequently global warming is aggravated. We shed light on this issue by solving a model of...

The supply side of CO2 with country heterogeneity
Hoel, Michael - 2011 - Publisert 8. mar. 2011 18:27
Several recent articles have analyzed climate policy giving explicit attention to the non-renewable character of carbon resources. In most of this literature the economy is treated as a single unit, which in the context of climate policy seems reasonable to interpret as the whole world. However,...

Ökonomische Bewertung des Erneuerbare Energien Gesetzes zur Förderung von Biogas
Delzeit, Ruth; Holm-Müller, Karin; Britz, Wolfgang - 2011
Biogasproduktion wird in Deutschland mit dem Ziel des Klima- und Umweltschutzes sowie der Substitution fossiler Energieträger durch das Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz (EEG) gefördert. Dieser Beitrag analysiert quantitativ durch Kopplung eines Agrarsektor- und eines Standortmodells die...
