Abstract: Der Deutsche Verkehrssektor emittiert knapp 160 Mio. t CO2 pro Jahr (d.h. 18% der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Emissionen) und trägt bisher am geringsten zum Erreichen der Emissionsminderungsziele bei. Um die Anreize zur Emissionsminderung beim Hauptverursacher im Verkehrssektor, dem...

Growing numbers of plug-in electric vehicles in Europe will have an increasing impact on the electricity system. Using the agent-based simulation model PowerACE for ten electricity markets in Central Europe, we analyze how different charging strategies impact price levels and production- as well...

The Kyoto Protocol marks a break-through in global warming mitigation policies as it sets legally binding emissions targets for major emitting regions. However, realisation of the Protocol depends on the clarification of several issues one of which is the permissible scope of international...

In this paper we investigate how restrictions for emission trading to the energy-intensive power sector will affect the magnitude and distribution of abatement costs across EU countries vis-à-vis a comprehensive EU emission trading regime. We find that emission trading between European power...
