CO2 emission reduction potential of large-scale energy efficiency measures in power generation from fossil fuels in China, India, Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa
Boehme, Benn J.; Krey, Matthias - Hamburgisches WeltWirtschaftsInstitut (HWWI) - 2005
We quantify the theoretical potential for energy-efficiency CDM projects using best available technology in coal … or retrofit measures. We then discuss the likelihood of the potential emission reductions materialising under CDM. Our …). Especially the chances for natural gas power projects to qualify as CDM projects are slim due to their very high economic …

Externalities of electricity generation and renewable energy technologies
Owen, Anthony D. - In: Global Business and Economics Review 4 (2002) 1, pp. 131-146
On the basis of conventional accounting methodology, fossil fuel-fired power generation facilities currently represent the least cost technology option. However, this method of accounting tends to neglect the environmental and social costs involved in generating electrical power by combustion of...

Catching the rebound: Economy-wide implications of an efficiency shock in the provision of transport services by households
Koesler, Simon - 2013
We investigate the rebound effect of a 10% energy cefficiency improvement in the provision of private transport services by German households. In the process, we take into account that household behaviour may be influenced by habits, build on a detailed representation of the provision of private...

Enhancing PV modules efficiency and power output using multi-concept cooling technique
Idoko, Linus; Anaya-Lara, Olimpo; McDonald, Alasdair - In: Energy Reports 4 (2018), pp. 357-369
The efficiency and power output of a PV module decrease at the peak of sunlight due to energy loss as heat energyand this reduces the module power output. Multi-concept cooling technique, a concept that involves three types of passive cooling, namely conductive cooling, air passive cooling and...
