    Power System Impacts of Electric Vehicles in Germany: Charging with Coal or Renewables

    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 ...

    Modernization and Innovation in the Materials Sector: Lessons from Steel and Cement

    Since 2007, the European cement and steel sectors have been characterized by substantial surplus production capacity. Hence re-investment in primary production of many materials remains limited and endangers the longer-term economic viability of many plants. Opportunities for innovation and modernization could overcome these challenges. They are linked to new demands for more efficient and lower-carbon ...

    Leakage Protection for Carbon-Intensive Materials Post-2020

    Climate protection is a global challenge that all countries have a common but differentiated responsibility to address. However, not all governments are willing to commit to targets of equal stringency, and individual countries may put different emphases on carbon pricing in their policy mix. Carbon prices may thus continue to differ over longer time horizons. Therefore, measures to protect production ...

    Europe's Mechanism for Countering the Risk of Carbon Leakage

    The EU’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a regional cap-and-trade program in a world with no binding international climate agreement. This climate regulation may induce a relocation of production away from Europe, with potentially negative consequences for the European economy. This relocation could lead to carbon leakage, i.e. a shift of greenhouse gas emissions from Europe into regions with ...

    New Spain: France Transmission Line: A Cost-Benefit Analysis

    Die Kosten der geplanten unterirdisch verlegten Hochspannungs-Gleichstrom-Übertragungsleitung (HGÜ) zwischen Spanien und Frankreich übersteigen die Investitionskosten einer vergleichbaren Wechselstrom-Freileitung. Die Frage stellt sich, ob die Mehrkosten mit ausreichendem Zusatznutzen für die Gesellschaft, wie zum Beispiel erhöhter Versorgungssicherheit, zu rechtfertigen sind. Aus diesem Grund wurden ...

    Is a Market Stability Reserve Likely to Improve the Functioning of the EU ETS? Evidence from a Model Comparison Exercise

    In January 2014 the European Commission proposed the introduction of a Market Stability Reserve (MSR) to improve the functioning of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). According to the European Commission, the MSR is designed to adjust the EU ETS to supply-demand imbalances and protect the system from unexpected and sudden demand shocks and by doing so, ensure an efficient abatement ...

    Electricity Grids and Climate Targets: New Approaches to Grid Planning

    Grid optimization, capacity increases, and grid expansion all play a key role in the development of the German power generation system. Thanks to transmission system operators’ foresightedness with regard to grid planning, as well as generous financial incentives related to grid expansion, Germany’s energy transition has not been impeded by transmission congestion in the electricity grid to date. So ...
