Compensation for Electricity Consumers Under a U.S. CO2 Emissions Cap

Paul, Anthony C. - 2014

Policies to cap emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the U.S. economy could pose significant costs on the electricity … electricity sector, we evaluate alternative ways that emission allowances can be allocated. Most previous emissions trading … programs have allocated the major portion of allowances for free to incumbent firms. In the electricity sector this approach …

A Machine Learning Approach on the Relationship Among Solar and Wind Energy Production, Coal Consumption, GDP, and CO2 Emissions

Magazzino, Cosimo; Mele, Marco; Schneider, Nicolas - 2021

China, India, and the USA are the world’s biggest energy consumers and CO2 emitters. Being the leading contributors to climate change, these economies are also at the core of environmental solutions. This paper investigates the causal relationship among solar and wind energy production, coal...

GHG Trading Framework for the U.S. Biofuels Sector

Kumarappan, Subbu - 2015

Substitution of petroleum fuels with biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel has been shown to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These GHG reductions can be traded in the emerging carbon markets, and methodologies for quantifying and trading are still being developed. The main challenges in...

Carbon Neutrality and Bioenergy : A Zero-Sum Game?

Sedjo, Roger A. - 2014

Biomass, a renewable energy source, has been viewed as "carbon neutral" - that is, its use as energy is presumed not to release net carbon dioxide. However, this assumption of carbon neutrality has recently been challenged. In 2010 two letters were sent to the Congress by eminent scientists...

C&C - Contraction and Convergence of Carbon Emissions : The Economic Implications of Permit Trading

Böhringer, Christoph; Welsch, Heinz - 2013

In the context of climate protection policy it has been suggested that global CO2 emissions should be reduced significantly (contraction) and that per capita emissions should gradually be equalized across countries (convergence). This paper uses a dynamic multi-region computable general...
