Social Behavior and Public Policy for Climate Change Mitigation
January 3, 2011
Prices are not sufficient to elicit the necessary investment and behavioral responses required for the transition to a low-carbon society because there exist: Financial and “hidden” costs; multiple objectives, conflicting signals, or information and other market failures; and behavioral and motivational factors. As a consequence, standards and regulations must complement market mechanisms; information policies are required; and public financing for investment is needed.

Market Based Policy for Climate Change Mitigation
January 3, 2011
The fundamental changes required in the energy sector for the transition to a low-carbon economy cannot be implemented if public policy does not create the proper incentives for this transition. And for public policy to be efficient it must be based on market based instruments, chiefly environmental taxes and tradable emission permits. Besides efficient, these instruments are very effective, and provide the greatest incentives for R&D.

The Role of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for Climate Change Mitigation
November 11, 2010
CCS could reconcile the continued use of fossil fuels over the medium to long term with the need for deep cuts in CO2 emissions. A demonstration program of commercial scale CCS projects would allow to prove the various CCS technologies at large scale, to identify risks and to achieve public and industry confidence in CCS. Regulatory issues, particularly around storage liability and the legality of storage will need to be resolved, and funding found to support the demonstration project phase.

The Role of Renewable Energies for Climate Change Mitigation
November 11, 2010
Renewable energy sources will be a necessary element of any future sustainable energy system. Not only do they provide a valuable alternative to fossil fuels, they are also much more climate friendly. In economic terms, the development of this sector does present many future benefits, but in order for these to flourish it will be necessary to put a price on the negative externalities of other energy sources, which should facilitate the required investments in R&D.

The Role of Energy Efficiency for Climate Change Mitigation
November 11, 2010
Energy efficiency is not only a requirement for climate change mitigation policies, but for overall economic efficiency. In many occasions, improving energy efficiency is a win-win option that may help to simultaneously reduce green-house gas emissions and input costs in many economic processes. In terms of business development, providing energy efficiency services through energy service companies (ESCOs) is a very lucrative business opportunity.
