The green power potential of a country is a central factor in the transformation to a green economy. This paper argues that green power will become a decisive factor for global change…
This FEEM paper examines the dynamics of energy investments and clean energy Research and Development (R&D) using a scenario-based modeling approach…
As current policy frameworks are expiring in 2020, the EU is revisiting its energy technology policy for the post-2020 horizon. The main long-run objective for energy technology policy is to foster the achievement of ambitious EU goals for decarbonisation by 2050. Given this objective, we discuss how European energy technology policy towards 2050 can be effective despite i) uncertain carbon prices, ii) uncertain technological change and iii) uncertain or alternating policy paradigms shifting its focus from decarbonisation to competition or security of supplies…
In its new report “Abundant, carbon free new energy technologies – can we turn wishful thinking into reality?”, Perspectives looks into the question if breakthroughs in innovative energy technology development such as cold fusion or other low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) may contribute to solving the problem…
Cette note du Conseil d’analyse économique expose les termes de l’arbitrage que doit affronter la France entre la préservation d’un élément significatif de sa compétitivité à court terme (le coût relativement faible de son énergie en particulier électrique) et la nécessaire transformation de ses avantages comparatifs à moyen-long terme (sous l’effet d’une vérité des prix énergétiques)…
Une analyse des enjeux de la filière industrielle de l’éolien en matière d’innovation, de compétitivité et d’emploi
This paper reviews the literature on environmentally friendly technological change, with a focus on lessons relevant to developing countries
The policy brief explains what is unique about low-carbon innovation, why low-carbon innovation systems matter, and how they can be strengthened. Focussing on the information needs of developing-country policy makers, it provides a comprehensive overview of low-carbon innovation. (© Koen Schoots, ECN)
