I think that I shall never see {hor_ellipsis} a lovely forestry policy: Land use programs for conservation of forests
Rayner, S.F.; Richards, K.R. - 2008
difficulties involved in implementing a carbon sequestration program, even in a well-developed market economy. Section 3 focuses on … bear less resemblance to the ideal market economy than the US. In those settings, the choice of policy instruments may be … very sensitive to non-market considerations that are often missed in conventional policy and cost analysis. …

Alternative methods of marginal abatement cost estimation: Non- parametric distance functions
Boyd, G.; Molburg, J.; Prince, R. - 2009
This project implements a economic methodology to measure the marginal abatement costs of pollution by measuring the lost revenue implied by an incremental reduction in pollution. It utilizes observed performance, or `best practice`, of facilities to infer the marginal abatement cost. The...

Wetland mitigation banking for the oil and gas industry: Assessment, conclusions, and recommendations
Wilkey, P.L.; Sundell, R.C.; Bailey, K.A.; Hayes, D.C. - 2008
Wetland mitigation banks are already in existence in the United States, and the number is increasing. To date, most of these banks have been created and operated for mitigation of impacts arising from highway or commercial development and have not been associated with the oil and gas industry....

Gas Research Institute wetland research program
Wilkey, P.L.; Zimmerman, R.E.; Isaacson, H.R. - 2008
As part of three ongoing research projects, the Gas Research Institute (GRI) is studying the natural gas industry's impacts on wetlands and how to manage operations so that impacts can be minimized or eliminated. The objective of the first project is to gain a better understanding of the causes...

Problems of energy conservation and environmental impacts of energy production and consumption in Slovakia
Rousek, Jan; Svobodova, Maria - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 19 (2003) 2/3, pp. 169-181
The current situation of the Slovak energy sector and its development since 1990 (Gross Domestic Product, primary energy sources, final energy consumption, energy intensity, electricity intensity, electricity consumption) is presented. A marked dependence on energy imports explains the necessity...

How can energy-efficient structures compete in an inefficient energy market
Noll, S. - 2009
The only way resources can be efficiently allocated in our market system is if prices of resources, goods, and services … if domestic energy prices were deregulated to reflect world market prices (now determined by OPEC) it is likely that …

New Horizons for Hydrogen: Producing Hydrogen from Renewable Resources
2011
Recent events have reminded us of the critical need to transition from crude oil, coal, and natural gas toward sustainable and domestic sources of energy. One reason is we need to strengthen our economy. In 2008 we saw the price of oil reach a record $93 per barrel. With higher oil prices,...

Modeling the uncertain impacts of climate change
Liebetrau, A.M. - 2008
Human and earth systems are extremely complex processes. The modeling of these systems to assess the effects of climate change is an activity fraught with uncertainty. System models typically involve the linking of a series of computer codes, each of which is a detailed model of some physical or...

Land-use change and carbon sinks: Econometric estimation of the carbon sequestration supply function
Lubowski, Ruben N.; Plantinga, Andrew J.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2009
Increased attention by policy makers to the threat of global climate change has brought with it considerable interest in the possibility of encouraging the expansion of forest area as a means of sequestering carbon dioxide. The marginal costs of carbon sequestration or, equivalently, the carbon...
