Trading Off Global Fuel Supply, CO2 Emissions and Sustainable Development
Wagner, Liam - 2016
made in the face of rising global energy demand. Here a thoroughly validated dynamic econometric model (Eq 1) is used to … forecast global energy demand growth (International Energy Agency and BP), which is driven by an increase of the global … population (UN), energy use per person and real GDP (World Bank and Maddison). Even relatively conservative assumptions put a …

The Effect of Temperature on Energy Use, CO2 Emissions, and Economic Performance in German Industry
Lehr, Jakob; Rehdanz, Katrin - 2022
This paper represents an addition to the scanty empirical evidence relating to the impactof climate change on the manufacturing sector. To study the effect of temperature onenergy use, CO2 emissions, and firms’ economic performance, we combine daily temperatureinformation from 11,000 German...

Prevention first vs. cap-and-trade policies in an agent-based integrated assessment model with GHG emissions permits
Popoyan, Lilit; Sapio, Alessandro - 2023
In this work, we ask whether tradable emissions permits, based on the cap-and-trade principle, provide better climate change and economic projections than alternative regulations for GHG emissions, such as operational permits which are commonly used to mitigate non-GHG emissions (prevention...

The global contradiction of the 21rst century
Lane, Jan-Erik - 2014
key links between GDP growth, energy consumption expansion and greenhouse gases emission increases must be more researched … for more energy, provided by fossil fuels. The G20 policies are probably forthcoming too late to avoid disasters. …

Carbon Footprints of European Manufacturing Jobs : Stylized Facts and Implications for Climate Policy
Wagner, Ulrich J. - 2020
This paper presents first results from a new European-wide research network for evidence-based climate policy. Using administrative data on industrial firms in Finland, France, Germany, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden,we construct harmonized measures of carbon dioxide emissions per job. We...

Two Birds, One Stone? Local Pollution Regulation and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Brunel, Claire - 2017
In most countries, environmental regulation focuses on local pollution, which causes damages near the emission source, while regulation on global pollutants such as greenhouse gases (GHG) has been slow. Theoretically, local and global pollutants can either be substitutes or complements in...

The Copenhagen Accord/Cancún Agreements Emission Pledges for 2020 : Exploring Economic and Environmental Impacts
Dellink, Rob; Briner, Gregory; Clapp, Christa - 2014
Many countries have pledged targets or actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; these have been listed in the Appendices to the Copenhagen Accord and, at the time of writing, are being transferred to the UNFCCC Cancún Agreements. This analysis examines the costs and effectiveness of these...

Carbon pricing of international transport fuels : Impacts on carbon emissions and trade activity
Mundaca, Gabriela - 2022
We study the impacts of carbon taxation of international transport fuels on CO2 emissions andtrade activity, focusing on maritime transport, which constitutes the most important internationaltrade transport activity. Our estimated bunker price elasticities range from 􀀀 0.03 to 􀀀 0.42....

Emission pricing and CO2 compensation in the EU : the optimal compensation to the power-intensive and trade-exposed industries for increased electricity prices
Kaushal, Kevin R.; Lindholt, Lars; Yonezawa, Hidemichi - 2023
Unilateral CO2 emission reduction can lead to carbon leakage, such as relocation of power-intensive and trade-exposed industries. In the EU emission trading system, these industries are also subjected to higher cost of electricity due to emission pricing in this sector. As a result, the...

A measurement of the carbon sequestration potential of Guadua angustifolia in the Carrasco National Park, Bolivia
Rojas Quiroga, Ricardo A.; Li, Tracey; Lora, Gonzalo; … - 2013
The carbon sequestration potential of an unmanaged and previously unstudied Guadua angustifolia bamboo forest in the Carrasco National Park of Bolivia has been studied, by estimating the total aboveground biomass contained in the forest. It was found that the aboveground biomass consisting of...
