Der europäische Emissionshandel soll Emissionen von Treibhausgasen vermindern und Investitionen in klimafreundliche Technologien unterstützen. Allerdings können mehrere Markthemmnisse dazu führen, dass der Emissionshandel aufgrund der großen Überschüsse an Emissionszertifikaten eine kosteneffiziente Entwicklung der Emissionsminderung nur eingeschränkt unterstützt. Die Europäische Kommission hat daher ...

The energy efficiency of the residential housing stock plays a key role in strategies to mitigate climate change and global warming. In this context, it is frequently argued that private investment and the quality of thermal upgrades are too low in the light of the challenges faced and the potential energy cost savings. While many authors address the potential barriers for investors to increase energy ...

DIW Wochenbericht 41 / 2015
Um die energie- und klimapolitischen Ziele der Bundesregierung zu erreichen, müssen im Bereich der Raumwärme mittel- und langfristig große Energieeinsparungen erzielt werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund erhebt das DIW Berlin gemeinsam mit der ista Deutschland GmbH jährlich den sogenannten Wärmemonitor, der auf einem umfangreichen Datenbestand von jährlichen Heizenergieabrechnungen von Mehrfamilienhäusern ...

We analyze the impacts of future scenarios of electric vehicles (EVs) on the German power system, drawing on different assumptions on the charging mode. We find that the impact on the load duration curve strongly differs between charging modes. In a fully user-driven mode, charging largely occurs during daytime and in the evening, when power demand is already high. User-driven charging may thus have ...

In northern Europe, wind energy has become a dominate renewable energy source, due to natural conditions and national support schemes. However, the uncertainty about wind generation affects existing network infrastructure and power production planning of generators, which cannot be fully diminished by wind forecasts. In this paper we develop a stochastic electricity market model to analyze the impact ...

Is it possible to combat global climate change through North-to-South technology transfer even without a global climate treaty? Or do carbon leakage and the rebound effect imply that it is possible to take advantage of technological improvements under the umbrella of a global arrangement only? For answering these questions two possible states of the world are discussed: one, where more energy efficient ...

One of the central debates surrounding the design of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme is the approach to address carbon leakage concerns. Correctly identifying the economic activities exposed to the risk of carbon leakage represents the first step in mitigating the risk effectively. This paper assesses the robustness of the quantitative assessment criteria used by the European Commission ...

Adequate extension of electricity transmission networks is required for integrating fluctuating renewable energy sources, such as wind power, into electricity systems. We study the performance of different regulatory approaches for network expansion in the context of realistic demand patterns and fluctuating wind power. In particular, we are interested in the relative performance of a combined merchant-regulatory ...

Our article contributes to the emerging micro-level strand of the literature on the link between local variations in weather shocks and conflicts by focusing on a pixel-level analysis for North and South Sudan between 1997 and 2009. Temperature anomalies are found to strongly affect the risk of conflict, whereas the risk is expected to magnify in a range of 24–31% in the future under a median scenario. ...
