  1. 16. Techno-economic assessment for optimised renewable jet fuel production in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Jenny Trinh; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aviation industry contributes to more than 2% of global human-inducedCO2-emissions, and it is expected to increase to 3% by 2050 as demand for aviation grows. As the industry is still dependent on conventional jet fuel (CJF), one of the key elements to help decarbonise the industry is to transition to renewable jet fuel (RJF). READ MORE

  3. 17. Effects of Carbon Taxes on CO2 Emissions in the Nordic Countries: A Synthetic Control Analysis

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Ismael Moreno Martinez; [2020]
    Keywords : Carbon tax; Synthetic control; Environmental Policy; Climate Change;

    Abstract : This quasi-experimental study estimates the effects of transport fuel taxation reforms on CO2 emissions in Sweden and Finland through a synthetic strategy. Panel data from OECD countries is used to construct control units that closely resemble the treated countries. READ MORE

  4. 18. The Impact of a Carbon Dioxide Price on Green Innovation : An Econometric Study Based on Patent Counts

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle

    Author : Linus Johansson; Linus Nilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : the EU ETS; Green innovation; Patent Count; Induced innovation; Negative Binomial model;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to examine the effects of a market-based greenhouse gases price on green innovation by testing the Hicksian theory of induced innovation. To test whether causality exists, panel data compiled of 30 countries over 13 years (2005-2017) have been used. READ MORE

  5. 19. Effect of fuel tax on carbon dioxide emissions in Sweden : a panel estimation approach

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Hanna Vinberg; [2020]
    Keywords : climate policy; CO2 emissions; economics; environmental impact; fuel tax; rural and urban;

    Abstract : Greenhouse gases are increasingly causing both global climate changes and local health issues. In particular, carbon dioxide emissions represent 81% of total greenhouse gas emissions. There is evidence that fuel taxes can be adopted as a mitigation measure to lower greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to climate change adaptation goals. READ MORE

  6. 20. The effect of the Swedish carbon tax on household and industry emissions

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Sabina Dellstig; [2019]
    Keywords : CO2 tax; carbon tax; price elasticity; signaling effect; ex-post evaluation; CO2 emissions; households; industry; Sweden; FMOLS;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the Swedish carbon tax, introduced in 1991, has led to a decline in CO2 emissions in two sectors of the Swedish economy: the manufacturing industry and the household sector – and if so, to what extent. The question is approached by estimating the elasticity of demand for CO2 emissions, with respect to the total energy price and, separately, for the carbon tax. READ MORE
