Speakers

Michael Grubb, Cambridge University
Michael Grubb, Cambridge University, will give a seminar on Friday, the 16th of July, at CPI/DIW Berlin. He will outline how carbon flows through the main components of energy systems and supply chain, with an emphasis on the internal structure of flows in materials (steel, cement etc). He will discuss the affects the economics of instrument choice and explore the need to move from production only to a "carbon added" structure of regulation over time, analogous to VAT. Furthermore, issues of tracking and allocation carbon through electricity systems and the impact on investments in low carbon power sources, are core subjects of this seminar.
