Multi-model comparison of the economic and energy implications for China and India in an international climate regime

This paper presents a modeling comparison on how stabilization of global climate change at about 2 °C above the pre-industrial level could affect economic and energy systems development in China and…

Uncertainty in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) deployment projections: a cross-model comparison exercise

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can be a valuable CO 2 mitigation option, but what role CCS will play in the future is uncertain. In this paper we analyze the results of different integrated…

Costs and effectiveness of on-farm measures to reduce aquatic risks from pesticides in the Netherlands
