The potential of REDD+ for carbon sequestration in tropical forests : supply curves for carbon storage for Kalimantan, Indonesia
Indrajaya, Yonky; Van der Werf, Edwin; Weikard, Hans-Peter - 2015
We study the potential of tropical multi-age multi-species forests for sequestering carbon in response to financial incentives from REDD+. The use of reduced impact logging techniques (RIL) allows a forest owner to apply for carbon credits whereas the use of conventional logging techniques (CL)...

Economics of multifunctional forestry in the Sámi people homeland region
Parkatti, Vesa-Pekka; Tahvonen, Olli - 2020
We study forestry in the Sámi people homeland region to understand an ongoing conflict between conventional forest … husbandry, and a flexible optimization between rotation forestry (cf. clearcuts) and forestry that maintains continuous forest … cover. We show that the profitability of conventional forestry is based on utilizing existing forest stands, an outcome that …

On the economics of forest carbon : renewable and carbon neutral but not emission free
Lintunen, Jussi; Uusivuori, Jussi - 2014 - This version: November 26, 2013
First-best optimal forest sector carbon policy is examined. Using a comprehensive forest sector model with a detailed carbon cycle section we show that the renewability and carbon neutrality arguments do not warrant emission free treatment of forest bioenergy. However, under the biomass stock...

Carbon storage and bioenergy : using forests for climate mitigation
Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert O.; Sohngen, Brent - 2016
The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of...

Gotta catch 'em all : CCUS with endogenous technical change
Bazzana, Davide; Comincioli, Nicola; Gusperti, Camilla; … - 2023
Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) stands as a pivotal technology crucial for achieving the most ambitious climate objectives. Despite its prominent inclusion in energy mix projections, its current deployment falls short of the requisite level. Additionally, uncertainties surrounding...

Advances and slowdowns in carbon capture and storage technology development
D'Aprile, Aurora - 2016
With the long term goal of holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C and "to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C", the Paris Agreement puts renewed attention on the portfolio of technologies needed to achieve consistent emission reductions...

How CO2 capture and storage can mitigate carbon leakage
Quirion, Philippe; Rozenberg, Julie; Sassi, Olivier; … - 2011
Most CO2 abatement policies reduce the demand for fossil fuels and therefore their price in international markets. If these policies are not global, this price decrease raises emissions in countries without CO2 abatement policies, generating "carbon leakage". On the other hand, if the countries...
