Implications of innovative options for transport on the level of the energy system
There are several options for a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from transport, in the Netherlands, by 2050. In addition to efficiency improvements, new types of fuels, such as electricity…
Analysing the impacts of including REDD credits in carbon markets
Larger global emission reductions and lower overall abatement costs can be achieved if REDD (reducing emisions from deforestation) credits are included in a future carbon market. One of the key…
Bioenergy in energy transformation and climate management
This study explores the importance of bioenergy to potential future energy transformation and climate change management. Using a large inter-model comparison of 15 models, we comprehensively…
CO2 emission mitigation and fossil fuel markets: Dynamic and international aspects of climate policies
This paper explores a multi-model scenario ensemble to assess the impacts of idealized and non-idealized climate change stabilization policies on fossil fuel markets. Under idealized conditions…
Regional Competitiveness and Smart Specialisation in Europe
This report may be used as a tool in the design of sound regional development strategies and provides essential information to policymakers and development practitioners. Regions differ from each…
Locked into Copenhagen pledges — Implications of short-term emission targets for the cost and feasibility of long-term climate goals
This paper provides an overview of the AMPERE modeling comparison project with focus on the implications of near-term policies for the costs and attainability of long-term climate objectives. Nine…
Climate and socio-economic scenarios for climate change research and assessment: reconciling the new with the old
A suggestion for mapping the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) illustrative scenarios onto the new scenarios framework of representative concentration pathways (RCPs) and shared socio…
Assessment of climate and energy policies of major emitting countries
Since the 2009 climate negotiations in Copenhagen, many countries and regions have submitted quantitative economy-wide greenhouse gas emission reduction proposals and actions for 2020. The pledged…
