      Golombek, Rolf; Greaker, Mads; Kittelsen, Sverre A.C.; Røgeberg, Ole; Aune, Finn Roar (Discussion Papers;603, Working paper, 2009)
      We examine the potential of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies in the European electricity markets, assessing whether CCS technologies will reduce carbon emissions substantially in the absence of investment ...
    • Energy demand, carbon emissions and acid rain : consequences of a changing Western Europe 

      Alfsen, Knut H.; Boug, Pål; Kolsrud, Dag (Rapporter;96/12, Report, 1996)
      Employing a multisector energy demand model of thirteen Western European countries (SEEM) together with the RAINS model developed by IIASA, we in this report address the question of how much the European economic ...
    • Global per capita CO2 emissions - stable in the long run? 

      Holtsmark, Bjart (Discussion Papers;No. 438, Working paper, 2005)
