The rise and fall of bioenergy
Hoel, Michael - 2018
If bioenergy has a less negative impact on the climate than fossil energy, it may be optimal to have a significant increase in the use of bioenergy over time. Due to the difference in the way the climate is affected by the two types of energy, the future time path of the use of bioenergy may be...

Instrument choice and stranded assets in the transition to clean capital
Rozenberg, Julie; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2017 - This version: March 2017
To mitigate climate change, some governments opt for instruments focused on investment, like performance standards or feebates, instead of carbon prices. We compare these policies in a Ramsey model with clean and polluting capital, irreversible investment and a climate constraint. Alternative...

Unilateral climate policies and green paradoxes : extraction costs matter
Kollenbach, Gilbert - 2014
Under which conditions unilateral tightening of climate policy causes a weak or strong green paradox or even decreases social welfare has recently been studied by Hoel (2011). Hoel assumes that the costs of extracting fossil fuel are linear in output. We extend his model by allowing for...

The Rebound Effect and its Representation in Energy and Climate Models
Colmenares, Gloria; Löschel, Andreas; Madlener, Reinhard - 2020
In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art and common practice of energy and climate modeling vis-a-vis the rebound literature. In particular, we study how energy system and economy wide models include and quantify rebound effects - the gap between actual and expected saving or the behavioral...

Renewable Energy under the Kyoto Protocol : The Case for Mixing Instruments
Driesen, David M. - 2014
This paper suggests that a mixture of measures may be needed to encourage renewable energy under the Kyoto Protocol. It explains that the goal of maximizing short term cost effectiveness tends to conflict with the goal of encouraging the long-term technological development that the world will...

Designing by Degrees : Flexibility and Cost-Effectiveness in Climate Policy
Paul, Anthony C.; Palmer, Karen L.; Woerman, Matt - 2014
Substantially reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from electricity production will require a transformation of the resources used to produce power. This paper analyzes the economic consequences of a suite of different flexible and comprehensive policies to reduce CO2 emissions from the power...
