(Bio-)Fuel mandating and the green paradox

The theory on the green paradox has focused primarily on the consumption of a clean substitute produced using a static technology. In reality, we observe the gradual accu mulation of the clean substitute’s capacity, suggesting that supply decisions for the clean substitute and finite carbon resource should both be treated as dynamic.

Towards a low carbon growth in Mexico: Is a double dividend possible? A dynamic general equilibrium assessment

This paper simulates the medium- and long-term impact of proposed and expected energy policy on the environment and on the Mexican economy. The analysis has been conducted with a Multi-sector Macroeconomic Model for the Evaluation of Environmental and Energy policy (Three-ME). This model is well suited for policy assessment purposes in the...

Climate Policy Under Fat-Tailed Risk: An Application of Dice

Uncertainty plays a significant role in evaluating climate policy, and fat-tailed uncertainty may dominate policy advice. Should we make our utmost effort to prevent the arbitrarily large impacts of climate change under deep uncertainty? In order to answer to this question, we propose a new way of investigating the impact of (fat-tailed)...

Begrijpelijkheid van verschillende typen dynamische bebording bij tolsysteem Westerscheldetunnel

In opdracht van de N.V. Westerscheldetunnel is TNO Technische Menskunde nagegaan op welke wijze weggebruikers het best geïnformeerd kunnen worden over de indeling van een tolplein. Aangezien de indeling van het tolplein dynamisch is (als het drukker is, zijn er meer poortjes open, soms werkt een bepaald apparaat niet etc.) kan een weggebruiker...

Combined heat and power action plan: policy action plan for promotion of combined heat and power production in the Slovak Republic to 2010

Combined heat and power is well established in the Czech and SlovakRepublic, especially in the district-heating sector. The current share in total electricity production is about 19% in the Czech Republic, and 11% in the Slovak Republic. Both governments aim to support CHP for reasons of energy efficiency improvement and, to some extent,...

The implications of tradable green certificates for the deployment of renewable electricity: mid-term report

The issue of green certificates has received much attention in the recentyear. In a system of green certificates, producers of renewable electricity receive a certificate for each pre-defined unit of electricity produced. Such a certificate represents the 'greenness', or in more general terms the 'societal value' of the production of electricity...

Energy efficiency action plan: policy action plan for promotion of end-use energy efficiency in the Czech Republic to 2010

Energy efficiency and renewable energy production contribute to the threemajor goals of the national energy policy of the Czech Republic: overall competitiveness, security of supply and environmental protection. Therefore, the Czech government aims to promote these two sustainable options. The Energy Policy White Paper, which is being developed...
