This paper examines the interrelationship of learning e ffects and emission control on the diffusion of carbon capture and storage (CCS). We introduce a dynamic model in which an electricity producer maximizes pro ts subject to emissions control. All technologies are characterized by specific...

This paper examines the interrelationship of learning effects and emission control on the diffusion of carbon capture and storage (CCS). We introduce a dynamic model in which an electricity producer maximizes profits subject to emissions control. All technologies are characterized by specific...

Standard-essential patents (SEPs) have been critical to the ICT revolution. SEPs have allowed for the fast rates of innovation diffusion that the world has witnessed in the past 25 years. Yet the SEP system is under pressure. It suffers from a smoldering crisis of confidence as costly legal...

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies have the potential to play a major role in the stabilization of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. To develop the capture technology from its current early pilot phase towards commercial maturity, significant public and private funding is directed...
