Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions from Wind Energy: Location, Location, Location?
Increased deployment of intermittent renewable energy resources wind energy in particular has the potential to deliver cost e¤ective GHG emissions in the near term. Accurate quanti cation of the environmental bene ts from these resources has an important role to play in policy design, implementation, and evaluation. This paper develops an empirical approach to estimating marginal operating ...
متن کاملClimate change. Recent reductions in China's greenhouse gas emissions.
T he prevailing wisdom about China's greenhouse gas emissions is that they are increasing steadily, because of the large quantities of coal being used to fuel a fast-growing industrial economy, and most projections show China's greenhouse gas emissions continuing to grow in the coming decades (1). However, we find that China's CO 2 emissions declined by 7.3% between 1996 (the peak year) and 200...
متن کاملClimate Response Uncertainty and the Expected Benefits of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions
Some recent research suggests that uncertainty about the response of the climate system to atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations can have a disproportionately large influence on benefits estimates for climate change policies, potentially even dominating the effect of the discount rate. In this paper we conduct a series of numerical simulation experiments to investigate the quantitativ...
متن کاملCredit-based Congestion Pricing: an Opportunity for Reductions in Greenhouse Gas Emissions?
INTRODUCTION U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions rose 16 percent between 1990 and 2004, while those from light-duty vehicles rose 23%. (EPA 2006) During the same period, GDP increased 51% (BEA 2005) and VMT rose 37% – more than doubling the nation’s population increase. (Davies et al. 2007 and EPA 2006) While GHGs are on the rise, public policy can result in substantial energy savings. U.S. Cor...
متن کاملHealth cobenefits and transportation-related reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in the San Francisco Bay area.
OBJECTIVES We quantified health benefits of transportation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE). METHODS Statistics on travel patterns and injuries, physical activity, fine particulate matter, and GHGE in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, were input to a model that calculated the health impacts of walking and bicycling short distances usually traveled by car or driving l...
