Willingness to Pay for a Climate Backstop : Liquid Fuel Producers and Direct CO₂ Air Capture

Nemet, Gregory F.; Brandt, Adam - 2011

We conduct a sensitivity analysis to describe conditions under which liquid fuel producers would fund the development of a climate backstop. We estimate (1) the cost to develop competitively priced direct CO₂ air capture technology, a possible climate backstop and (2) the effect of this...

COVID-19 and Climate Change : A Tale of Two Global Problems

Fuentes, Rolando; Galeotti, Marzio; Lanza, Alessandro; … - 2020

In this paper, we examine the similarities and the differences between two global problems, the Coronavirus pandemic and climate change, and the extent to which the experience with the COVID-19 pandemic can be of use for tackling climate change. We show that both problems share the same...

The Carbon Equivalence Principle : Methods and Applications

Kenyon, Chris; Macrina, Andrea; Berrahoui, Mourad - 2022

We develop quantitative methods to support financial product analysis-redesign required by the Carbon Equivalence Principle (CEP) to achieve financial net-zero and thus carbon net-negative positions. We then apply the CEP analysis-redesign to project finance for power generation across a range...

The Carbon Equivalence Principle

Kenyon, Chris; Berrahoui, Mourad; Macrina, Andrea - 2022

We introduce the Carbon Equivalence Principle that requires carbon-equivalent flows enabled, or caused, by a financial product to have equal status with cashflows. This reveals that existing financial products already have environmental impact and so are ESG-linked, without the need for any...

Mandatory Corporate Climate Disclosures : Now, but How?

Armour, John; Enriques, Luca; Wetzer, Thom - 2021

Mitigating the worst consequences of climate change by transitioning to a net zero economy requires investment on a large scale. Directly pricing emissions, the first-best solution to drive capital reallocation, is considered politically infeasible—so policymakers put their currency in...

The Road to Climate Stability Runs through Emissions Liability Management

Roston, Marc; Seiger, Alicia; Heller, Thomas C. - 2023

We propose changes to carbon emissions accounting standards that will improve reporting efficiency and accelerate progress toward effective climate solutions. The first section summarizes a method to account for emissions as liabilities tied to product or service outputs that pass down a supply...

'The Voracity Effect' and Climate Change : The Impact of Clean Technologies

Benchekroun, Hassan; Ray Chaudhuri, Amrita - 2013

We show that a technological breakthrough that reduces CO2 emissions per output can exacerbate the climate change problem: countries may respond by raising their emissions resulting in an increase of the stock of pollution that may reduce welfare. Using parameter values based on empirical...
