Several political regulation instruments -- such as CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> taxes -- have been suggested to implement CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> reduction policies. But normally the cost of implementing CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> reduction policies is considered to be a threat to both economic growth and employment. But to some extent, strategies can be...</subscript></subscript></subscript>

Sustainable infrastructures need technologies that do not cause climate or environmental degradation. The only long-term sustainable solution to global warming in terms of both environmental and economic mitigation is renewable energy generation for stationary and transportation infrastructures....

This paper provides an introduction to the special issue on Sustainable Energy and Transportation Systems. No single technology can solve the problem of ever increasing CO2 emissions from stationary and transportation energy usage. Various single technologies must be put together and coordinated...

Renewable energy is one of the possible solutions when addressing climate change. Today, large-scale renewable energy integration needs to include the experience to balance the discrepancy between electricity demand and supply. The electrification of transportation may have the potential to deal...

Transport is one of the most challenge sectors when addressing energy security and climate change due to its high reliance on oil products and lack of the alternative fuels. This paper explores the ability of three transport strategies to contribute to the development of a sustainable transport...

This article analyses which kinds of public planning, regulation and initiatives are suitable for the implementation of energy-conservation policies. The policies are important elements of the Danish plans for implementing CO2-reduction targets. The plans are characterised by a move away from...

In 2005, wind power supplied 19% of the 36 TWh annual electricity demand in Denmark, while 50% was produced at combined heat-and-power plants (CHP). The installed wind-turbine capacity in Western Denmark exceeds the local demand at certain points in time. So far, excess production has been...

Along with high-speed economic development and increasing energy consumption, the Chinese Government faces a growing pressure to maintain the balance between energy supply and demand. In 2009, China has become both the largest energy consumer and CO2 emitting country in the world. In this case,...
