Im Zug der Energiewende sind in den letzten Jahren die Anforderungen an das Stromnetz kontinuierlich gestiegen, insbesondere wird die Optimierung der Nutzung vorhandener Ressourcen durch das sogenannte Engpassmanagement – den Umgang mit Engpässen im Netz – bedeutsamer. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird verstärkt diskutiert, ob regional differenzierte Preisgestaltung die richtigen Anreize für Stromerzeuger ...

Die deutsche Bundesregierung hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, die Treibhausgasemissionen bis zum Jahr 2020 um 40 Prozent gegenüber 1990 zu senken. Aktuelle Projektionen gehen davon aus, dass dieses Ziel nur bei Ergreifung weiterer Maßnahmen erreicht wird. Eine wichtige Rolle kommt dabei dem Stromsektor zu, dessen Emissionen zu etwa 85 Prozent in Braun- und Steinkohlekraftwerken entstehen. Große Teile der ...

This relationship is explored for Iran and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) using (panel) cointegration techniques. The existence of cointegration between oil revenues, GDP and investment ...

Environmental employment is an issue with high interest to the public and to policy makers. Yet, the debate is blurred by a great number of distinct definitions and hence estimates of environmental employment. Therefore it is essential to carefully document delimitations and methods used in any attempt to quantify environmental employment. This paper presents a method for estimating gross environmental ...
