Easing the Natural Gas Crisis: Reducing Natural Gas Prices Through Electricity Supply Diversification
نویسنده
چکیده
I am here today to report on the findings of a recent study that I helped manage and conduct, a study titled “Easing the Natural Gas Crisis: Reducing Natural Gas Prices Through Increased Deployment of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency.” This study explores the relationship between renewable generation and energy efficiency investments and natural gas prices. As I will describe, the report finds that by reducing natural gas demand, deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency could put significant downward pressure on natural gas prices and thereby provide sizable consumer savings.

The Effect of Natural Gas Prices on Gas Consumption by Iranian Industries
Natural gas has an advantageous position compared to other energy carriers in policy making of energy consumption due to its many advantages, especially in terms of environmental indicators. In Iran, the industrial sector is considered as one of the important sectors of natural gas consumption. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between natural gas prices and indu...
متن کاملThe Effect of Abundant Natural Gas on Air Pollution from Electricity Production
We estimate the impact of large changes in the relative prices of natural gas and coal from 2005-2011, due primarily to “fracking,” on regional electricity marginal costs and air pollution emissions from electricity producers. We find strong evidence that natural gas is displacing coal as baseload. We estimate marginal emissions over the generation profile for each region in the U.S. using a no...

In this study the autoregressive distributed lag model and error correction model to estimate Hazard function is used during the years 1377-1394. The results show that in the short term and long term there is substitution between electricity and natural gas in the domestic sector. But the price elasticity of demand relative to the price of electricity is less than 5.0, this result indicates tha...
متن کاملShadow Price Specification of Natural Gas in Production Activities of the Iranian Economy
Natural gas plays a key role in Iran’s economy and using its shadow price in allocating it to different sectors can lead to optimal use of this resource. This study uses a non-linear input-output model to estimate the shadow price of natural gas in different economic sectors in Iran. The study uses values of the input-output table constructed by the Statistics Center of Iran for the year 2011. ...

We examine the main political, market and regulatoryissues concerning natural gas use in the Mexican powergeneration sector. We also study the impacts of a technologydiversification policy regarding the primary energy used togenerate electricity. For that, we make use of the LEAPsystem (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning-SEI Bos-ton) in order to simulate two scenari...
