Proponents of Bitcoin argue that demand for electricity from Bitcoin miners can lead to an increase in renewable … electricity capacity. We rigorously evaluate this claim by estimating a Bitcoin electricity demand curve and include this demand … curve in a long-run model of the Texas electricity market. We find that while Bitcoin mining can indeed increase renewable …

Unter heutigen Rahmenbedingungen muss davon ausgegangen werden, dass der globale Primärenergieverbrauch sich bis 2050 mehr als verdoppeln wird und die energiebedingten CO2-Emissionen sogar um 137% steigen. Die Abhängigkeit der OECD-Staaten von Energieimporten würde weiter wachsen und der...

In this study, cost-effective technological options to stabilize CO2 concentrations at 550, 500, and 450 ppmv are evaluated using a world energy systems model of linear programming with a high regional resolution. This model treats technological change endogenously for wind power, photovoltaics,...
