We construct a New-Keynesian E-DSGE model with energy disaggregation and financial intermediaries to show how energy-related fiscal and macroprudential policies interact in affecting the euro area macroeconomy and carbon emissions. When a shock to the price of fossil resources propagates through...

The shift toward a sustainable future demands substantial investments in green technologies and infrastructure, with green finance emerging as a pivotal driver for mobilizing such investments. This paper introduces a novel framework for green investment models and platforms tailored specifically...

The demand for critical minerals is rising in support of the low-carbon energy transition, as well as global economic growth. Despite its hostile environment, the Arctic is a region with historic and existing mineral production. This paper assesses the potential of the Arctic to make a...

Questa pubblicazione a schede si inserisce in un percorso informativo che l'Ustat ha voluto dedicare ai cambiamenti climatici in Ticino, facendo seguito alle schede sugli scenari climatici e a quelle sui ghiacciai. È stata realizzata con la consulenza scientifica e il contributo di vari servizi...

In contemporary times, energy sustainability and security have become essential economic concerns globally. Nonetheless, in addition to these concerns, inadequate governance inside a corporation within the energy industry may result in corruption and energy instability within the sector. The...

Energy efficiency is an important concept for ensuring sustainable development and reducing energy consumption. Efficiency means using a minimal amount of energy to complete a process. Considering the amount of energy needed by OECD countries, we aimed to analyze the energy efficiency of 37 OECD...

In addition to self-production and individual disconnection from the national grid, the ongoing decentralization of the electricity market increasingly relies on energy-sharing mechanisms such as energy communities (ECs). This paper presents a parsimonious model that captures key features of the...

This paper examines the impact of upstream merger and acquisition (M&A) activities driven by supply chain integration motives on firm energy performance. By developing a microlevel theoretical framework, we examine the intricate relationship between firms' upstream M&A strategies geared toward...

The revolution of deregulation that swept national markets with particular force in the Americas was followed by the rise of complex and diverse regulatory institutions. Mexico was the poster child of governance by regulators as, in the 2000s and 2010s, its governing being used, in the energy...

The recent energy crisis in Europe has underlined the importance of a fast replacement of fossil fuels like natural gas by green energy carriers. Great hopes for quick decarbonisation mostly rest on two technologies, hypothesized to form a "perfect match": Combined heat and power (CHP)...

Lighting, heating, moving, producing: energy is vital for our day-to-day life. Without energy, people and businesses cannot function. Turning on our computers or starting our cars are actions that we take for granted, yet they represent the final stage of a complex process. This publication...

This study examines the impacts of enhancing technology progress in clean energy technologies on the global energy system and economy. The analysis focuses on eight thematic technology groups, including wind, solar, batteries, hydrogen and fuel cells, carbon capture, direct air capture and...

The European Union is on a pathway to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. This report explores the historic and necessary efforts to align Europe's electricity, heating and transport systems with transformative EU benchmarks for 2030 to meet that longer-term goal. CO2 emissions have declined...

This report describes the assumptions, methodology and data used to produce the supply maps of the EU Energy Atlas from the EUROSTAT national energy balances. The results consist of a series of gridded maps of the EU showing an estimation of the supply of the main categories of energy products...

The transition to clean power is the most critical step in closing the emissions gap by 2030. Nonetheless, the transition to clean power is not without its challenges. The endeavour to increase the integration of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) sources to curtail greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions...

An unreliable energy supply disrupts productivity and operational stability in manufacturing enterprises worldwide. Addressing these challenges requires achieving consensus among experts from diverse backgrounds. This study provides a preliminary understanding of mapping challenges to...

Transitioning to low-carbon power generation is crucial for combatting climate change and achieving sustainability goals. This review delves into the literature on deep decarbonisation strategies within the power sector, examining the economic costs and associated challenges. Methodologically,...

The link between ESG and financial performance is still under debate. In this study, we explore which aspects of ESG specifically drive market valuations through both systematic and idiosyncratic risk channels. We analyze the impact of the three core ESG pillars, 10 subcategories, and associated...
