DIW Wochenbericht 38 / 2017
Gut ein Fünftel des Energieverbrauchs in Deutschland entfällt auf den Raumwärmebedarf der privaten Haushalte. Die Kosten hierfür beliefen sich in einer durchschnittlichen Mietwohnung im Jahr 2016 auf etwa 562 Euro jährlich, was mehr als einer 13. Monatskaltmiete entspricht. Dies zeigen die Auswertungen des Wärmemonitors 2016, der vom DIW Berlin gemeinsam mit dem Energiedienstleister ista Deutschland ...

DIW Wochenbericht 38 / 2017
In Deutschland wird seit 1978 durch staatliche Energieeffizienzmindeststandards versucht, den Heizenergieverbrauch in Wohngebäuden zu reduzieren. So sollen Kosten verringert, die Abhängigkeit von Energieimporten reduziert und, im Rahmen der nationalen Klimaschutzbemühungen, die CO2-Emissionen gesenkt werden. Diese im Lauf der Jahre mehrfach verschärfte Regulierung erweist sich als wirksam: Sie vermeidet ...

DIW Roundup 111 / 2017
Since the 1990s, (onshore) wind power has become an important technology for electricity generation throughout the world. The economic rationale is the mitigation of negative externalities of conventional technologies, in particular emissions from fossil fuel combustion. However, wind power itself is not free of externalities. Wind turbines are alleged visual and noise impacts as well as threats to ...

Throughout the world, governments foster the deployment of wind power to mitigate negative externalities of conventional electricity generation, notably CO2 emissions. Wind turbines, however, are not free of externalities themselves, particularly interference with landscape aesthetics. We quantify these negative externalities using the life satisfaction approach. To this end, we combine household data ...

This paper analyzes the dynamic relationship between CO2 emissions, energy consumption, GDP, and trade-openness from 1971 to 2013, based on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis for 70 WTO countries. Using recently developed secondgeneration panel data methods, the empirical results support the EKC hypothesis for the high-, middle-, and lower-income panels used. Concerning the energy consumption ...

Based on a life-cycle sustainability assessment and the calculation of carbon abatement costs, we quantify the greenhouse-gas emission reductions and costs if green waste in the metropolitan region of Berlin, Germany, is diverted from composting into the production of hydrothermally carbonized coal (HTC coal) that is used as a substitute for hard coal in the generation of electricity and heat. Depending ...

Carbon leakage is an issue of major interest in both academic and policy debates about the effectiveness of unilateral climate policy addressing global externalities. The debate is particularly salient in Europe, where the EU Emissions TradingSystem (EU ETS) covers emissions of many traded sectors. In a first step, we review how carbon leakage and the pollution haven effect are defined and identified ...
