Nuclear Versus Coal Plus CCS : A Comparison of Two Competitive Base-Load Climate Control Options

Tavoni, Massimo - 2009

In this paper we analyze the relative importance and mutual behavior of two competing base-load electricity generation options that each are capable of contributing significantly to the abatement of global CO2 emissions: nuclear energy and coal-based power production complemented with CO2...

Do energy consumption and economic growth lead to environmental degradation? : evidence from Asian economies

Jamel, Lamia; Derbali, Abdelkader - In: Cogent economics & finance 4 (2016) 1, pp. 1-19

The main purpose of this study is to investigate empirically the impact of energy consumption and economic growth on the environmental degradation as measured by CO2 emissions. We utilize the cointegration test, the fully modified OLS, and the panel causality to examine the causality between...

Are We Moving Towards an Energy-efficient Low-carbon Economy? An Input-output LMDI Decomposition of CO2 Emissions for Spain and the EU28

Serrano-Puente, Dario - 2021

Spain is on a path towards the decarbonization of the economy. This is mainly due to structural changes in the economy, where less energy-intensive sectors are gaining more relevance, and due to a higher use of less carbon-intensive primary energy products. This decarbonization trend is in fact...
