Capturing Key Energy and Emission Trends in CGE models: Assessment of Status and Remaining Challenges
(Discussion Paper;No. 936, Working paper, 2020-07)Limiting global warming in line with the goals in the Paris Agreement will require substantial technological and behavioural transformations. This challenge drives many of the current modelling trends. This article undertakes ... -
Climate change - lower electricity prices and increasing demand. An application to the Nordic Countries
(Discussion Papers;No. 430, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: Concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere influences the climate, which then alters the amount of primary energy for countries or regions where hydropower and wind power constitute important parts ... -
Coal cleaning: A viable strategy for reduced carbon emissions and improved environment in China?
(Discussion Papers;No. 356, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: China is a dominant energy consumer in a global context and current energy forecasts emphasise that China’s future energy consumption also will rely heavily on coal. The coal use is the major source of the ... -
Harvested wood products in the context of climate change : A comparison of different models and approaches for the Norwegian greenhouse gas inventory
(Reports;2009/12, Report, 2009)Emissions of greenhouse gases is accounted for and reported annually under the UNFCCC and the Kyoto protocol. In the current accounting system, emissions of CO2 from harvested wood products (HWP) are attributed to the year ... -
How well do tree plantations comply with the twin targets of the clean development mechanism? : the case of tree plantations in Tanzania
(Discussion Papers;No. 534, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper studies the effect of a CDM tree-planting project on carbon sequestration and urban and rural income distribution, taking economy-wide impacts into account. Carbon sequestration in agricultural soil ... -
Optimal climate policy under the possibility of a catastrophe
(Discussion Papers;No. 209, Working paper, 1998)This paper concerns optimal emissions of greenhouse gases when catastrophic consequences are possible. A numerical model is presented which takes into account both continuous climate-feedback damages as well as the ... -
Profitability of different instruments in international climate policies
(Discussion Papers;No. 403, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: This article discusses how different climate policy instruments such as CO2 taxes and renewable energy subsidies affect the profitability of fossil fuel production, given that a fixed global climate target ... -
The Norwegian Emission Inventory 2011 : documentation of methodologies for estimating emissions og greenhouse gases and long-range transboundary air pollutants
(Documents;2011/21, Working paper, 2011)The Norwegian emission inventory is a joint undertaking between the Climate and Pollution Agency1 and Statistics Norway. Statistics Norway is responsible for the collection and development of activity data, and emission ... -
The social contingency of wants implications for growth and the environment
(Discussion Papers;No. 227, Working paper, 1998)Economic models typically assume that individual wants are determined by forces exogenous to the economic system. Social psychology and consumer research, in contrast, support the view that the perceived benefits of ...
