We investigate the displacement effects of unilateral phase-out-of-coal policies in a stylized two-country model with … coal- and gas-fired electricity generation in an international emissions trading scheme. In the basic policy scenario …, electricity markets are national and one country bans coal while the emissions cap remains unchanged. The allocative displacement …

Coal-fired power stations are responsible for around a third of Germany's carbon emissions. Failure to reduce the … persistently high level of coal-fired power generation threatens Germany's climate targets for 2020 and 2050 and undermines a … emission certificates in the near future, a market-driven transition from coal to less CO2-intensive energy sources, such as …

A large number of German power stations are already very old and particularly CO2 … lignite and hard coal-fired power plants is being discussed as an effective short-term measure. This appears to be a …. Scenario calculations for the German power system for 2015 indicate that closing the oldest and most CO2-intensive coal …

The present study examines the consequences of the planned coal phase-out in Germany according to various phase … different perspectives and thus assessing the robustness of the results. The model results show that the lignite coal regions …

Coal consumption and production have sharply declined in recent years in the U.S., despite political support. Reasons … are mostly unfavorable economic conditions for coal, including competition from natural gas and renewables in the power … sector, as well as an aging coal-fired power plant fleet. Nevertheless, coal remains a major energy source in the North …

Nowadays, comprehensive perception of the tar characteristics generated from municipal solid waste (MSW) and coal to …, MSW and coal samples were chosen as principal components. The mixture of these products was pyrolyzed in a horizontal tube … 13C NMR spectra indicated that the functional groups of the tar derived from the mixture of MSW and coal were dominant at …
