Combined cycle power plants, which combine gas and steam turbines, have an adverse impact on surrounding populations and structures. Input data can be fine-tuned to reduce this effect. If the parameters that affect the NOx (NOx = NO2 + NO) value measured as an output are properly determined, the...

We study the importance of anticipated learning - about both environmental damages and abatement costs - in determining the level and the method of controlling greenhouse gas emissions. We also compare active learning, passive learning, and parameter uncertainty without learning. Current beliefs...

The electricity generation mix of many European countries is strongly dominated by fossil fuelled power plants. Given that CO2-emissions are responsible for a major part of the anthropogenic greenhouse effect, emission trading has been introduced in the EU in 2005. Under the European emissions...
