    • A comparison of the global warming effects of wood fuels and fossil fuels taking albedo into account 

      Holtsmark, Bjart (Discussion papers;778, Working paper, 2014-04)
      Traditionally, wood fuels, like other bioenergy sources, have been considered carbon neutral because the amount of CO2 released can be offset by CO2 sequestration due to the regrowth of the biomass. Thus, until recently, ...

    • Climate change - lower electricity prices and increasing demand. An application to the Nordic Countries 

      Gabrielsen, Karina; Bye, Torstein; Aune, Finn Roar (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 ...

    • Cutting costs of catching carbon : intertemporal effects under imperfect climate policy 

      Hoel, Michael; Jensen, Svenn (Discussion Papers; 639, Working paper, 2010)
      We use a two-period model to investigate intertemporal effects of cost reductions in climate change mitigation technologies for the power sector. With imperfect climate policies, cost reductions related to carbon capture ...

    • Does a renewable fuel standard for biofuels reduce climate costs? 

      Greaker, Mads; Hoel, Michael; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion papers;720, Working paper, 2012-12)
      Recent contributions have questioned whether biofuels policies actually lead to emissions reductions, and thus lower climate costs. In this paper we make two contributions to the literature. First, we study the market ...

    • Faustmann and the Climate 

      Hoel, Michael; Holtsmark, Bjart; Holtsmark, Katinka (Discussion papers;701, Working paper, 2012-08)
      This paper presents an adjusted Faustmann Rule for optimal harvest of a forest in the presence of a social cost of carbon emissions. A contribution of the paper is to do this within theoretical and numerical frameworks ...

    • Lock-in and the transition to hydrogen cars. When should governments intervene? 

      Greaker, Mads; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel (Discussion Papers;No. 516, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: The density of fuel filling stations influences consumers' utility of private car transport. Thus, to the extent that different modes of private transport require different fuels, there may exist a network ...

    • On the price and volume effects from green certificates in the energy market 

      Bye, Torstein (Discussion Papers;No. 351, Working paper, 2003)
      Abstract: We present a model for an energy market that includes a green certificate for suppliers of energy from renewables and a purchaser commitment to buy these certificates. We show that price and volume effects in ...

    • Optimal harvest age considering multiple carbon pools - a comment 

      Holtsmark, Bjart; Hoel, Michael; Holtsmark, Katinka (Discussion papers;704, Working paper, 2012-09)
      In two recent papers, Asante and Armstrong (2012) and Asante et al. (2011) considered the question of optimal harvest ages. They found that the larger are the initial pools of dead organic matter (DOM) and wood products, ...

    • Optimal timing of environmental policy. Interaction between environmental taxes and innovation externalities 

      Gerlagh, Reyer; Kverndokk, Snorre; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;No. 493, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: This paper addresses the impact of endogenous technology through research and development (R&D) and learning by doing (LbD) on the timing of environmental policy. We develop two models, the first with technological ...

    • Profitability of different instruments in international climate policies 

      Aune, Finn Roar; Kverndokk, Snorre; Lindholt, Lars; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (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 ...
