The shift to climate neutrality requires new process technologies for energy-intensive industries, such as steel, chemicals, or cement. A variety of technology options exist – but they face the challenges of (i) first-of-kind costs, (ii) higher operation and investment costs, and (iii) insufficient and uncertain carbon prices, which partly stem from political uncertainty. Existing innovation policy ...
We review the state of knowledge concerning international CO2 emission transfers associated particularly with trade in energy-intensive goods and concerns about carbon leakage arising from climate policies. The historical increase in aggregate emission transfers from developing to developed countries peaked around 2006 and declined since. Studies find no evidence that climate policies lead to carbon ...
Industrialized countries and emerging economies must cooperate in order to decarbonize the emissions-intensive industrial sector and to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. While Germany and the other G7 countries have committed to supporting emerging economies in their efforts to combat climate change via international climate finance, it remains to be seen how this support can be implemented ...
Um emissionsintensive Industriesektoren zu dekarbonisieren und die Erderwärmung auf maximal 1,5 Grad zu begrenzen, müssen Industriestaaten und Schwellenländer kooperieren. Deutschland und die übrigen Staaten der G7 haben sich dazu verpflichtet, die Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländer bei ihren Klimaschutzanstrengungen durch internationale Klimafinanzierung zu unterstützen. Allerdings ist offen, wie die ...
