Computable general equilibrium models simulate the reaction of industries on carbon taxes. Their results differ strongly on the assumption of the underlying technologies. This paper compares two models and emphasizes the differences between their approaches to technology. The first model is the...

Increasing the use of renewable energies offers significant opportunities for Europe to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and secure its energy supply. However, the substantial rise in the use of biomass from agriculture, forestry and waste for producing energy might put additional pressure on...

Energy gives personal comfort and mobility to people. However, it also places considerable pressures on the environment, such as emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. EU policy thus aims at integrating environmental requirements within the energy sector. This report measures the...

Ziel dieser Studie war die Ermittlung wirtschaftlich und politisch tragfähiger Maßnahmen, die eine wesentliche Steigerung der Energieeffizienz und Verringerung der negativen Auswirkungen des Verkehrs ermöglichen. Die Studie beruht auf einer umfassenden Literaturauswertung unter Einbeziehung...
