Evaluation of Two Alternative Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies: A Stochastic Model
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-03-03)
In this paper we evaluate two alternative CCS technologies of a coal-fired power plant from an investor’s point of view. The first technology uses CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) paired with storage in deep saline ...
Understanding Public Support for Externality-Correcting Taxes and Subsidies: A Lab Experiment
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-01-01)
The potential of taxation to correcting environmental externalities has been long recognized among economists. Yet, this welfare-enhancing policy commonly faces strong opposition by citizens. Conversely, externality-correcting ...
Regional IAM: analysis of risk-adjusted costs and benefits of climate policies
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-02-02)
Across the full range of publications in the field of economics of climate change there is perhaps only one firm agreement: both costs and benefits of climate policy are highly uncertain. In an ideal world one would wait ...
Economic Efficiency, Environmental Effectiveness and Political Feasibility of Energy Efficiency Rebates: The Case of the Spanish Energy Efficiency 'Renove' Plan
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-02-02)
Energy labels are used to promote the purchase of efficient appliances. Many countries in Europe use subsidies (namely energy efficiency rebates) to support these purchases as it is the case of Spain. A figure ranging from ...
Time and tide wait for no man: pioneers and laggards in the deployment of CCS
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-09-25)
In Europe the ambitions of individual countries to deploy carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are diverse. Reasons for this are, amongst other things, the heterogeneity of national electricity generation systems ...
The Green Paradox and Learning-by-doing in the Renewable Energy Sector
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-04-04)
We investigate the effect of climate policies on fossil fuel use in the presence of a clean alternative technology that exhibits learning-by-doing. In a two-period framework, the costs of clean and regenerative energy in ...
Implementing Integrated Water Resources Management in the Ebro River Basin: From Theory to Facts
(MDPI, 2015)
In this article, we analyze how successful the implementation of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in the Ebro river catchment (in Spain) has been. Our main aim is to show some gaps between theory and practice. ...
The Demand for Environmental Quality in Driving Transitions to Low Polluting Energy Sources
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-11-15)
The purpose of this paper is to understand the long run demand for energy-related environmental quality, its influence on legislation and on transitions to low polluting energy sources. It starts by presenting a simple ...
International Support of Climate Change Policies in Developing Countries: Strategic, Moral and Fairness Aspects
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-02-01)
International transfers in climate policy channeled from the industrialized to the developing world either support the mitigation of climate change or the adaptation to global warming. From an allocative efficiency point ...
The Uniform World Model: A Methodology for Predicting the Health Impacts of Air Pollution
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-12-12)
Throughout history, technological development and economic growth has led to greater prosperity and overall standard of living for many people in society. However, along with the benefits of economic development comes the ...
