  1. 11. Does Carbon Pricing work? A qualitative review of Carbon Pricing’s ex-post results, and policy-design suggestions for improving its efficacy.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Michael Randall; [2022]
    Keywords : Carbon pricing; Sustainability science; ex post results; policy design; decarbonisation; environmental economics; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The world is currently heading for 3°C of global warming due to global excessive carbon emissions, and while science is producing the knowledge necessary to combat it, the radical change needed is not coming fast enough. Current political and economic paradigms hail carbon pricing as either the, or part of the solution to our carbon emissions problem. READ MORE

  3. 12. Techno economic assessment of CCUS for a biogas facility in Sweden : Evaluating the economic feasibility for three CCUS concepts

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

    Author : Tobias Johansson; Markus Knutsson; [2022]
    Keywords : CCS; CCU; CCUS; Biogas; Biologic methanation; Negative emissions; TEA; Techno economic assessment.;

    Abstract : Many countries strengthen their commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit climate change and meet the Paris Agreement (Masson-Delmotte et al., 2019). Commitments include achieving net-zero emissions or in some cases even negative emissions (Government offices of Sweden, 2020a; United Nations, 2021a). READ MORE

  4. 13. The cornerstone of EU climate policy: does it impact innovation? Long-term evidence from the Swedish Pulp and Paper Industry

    Keywords : Environmental Policy; Carbon Pricing; Emissions Trading System; Hicks Induced Innovation Hypothesis; Emissions Reduction; Pulp and Paper Industry; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is a cornerstone of the union’s strategy to mitigate climate change and innovation is integral to emissions reduction, as well as an aim of the policy. To study if the EU ETS is associated with increased innovation, the Swedish Pulp and Paper Industry (PPI) poses an interesting case. READ MORE

  5. 14. Comparative techno-economic analysis of BECCS and biochar in Sweden

    Author : Simon Martelius; [2022]
    Keywords : NETs; feasibility; cost-effectiveness; climate change-mitigation; CHP; carbon neutrality; bioenergy;

    Abstract : Greenhouse gas emissions from human activity need to decrease for the Paris agreement goal of 1.5° C of global warming to be reached, and while emission reduction efforts remain the most important tool for combating climate change, it is increasingly evident that negative emission technologies (NETs) will play a key role reaching the climate targets of the Paris agreement.

  6. 15. Reducing Carbon Emissions by Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Subsidies - Empirical Evidence from the Philippines

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : David Huber; [2022]
    Keywords : Fossil Fuel Subsidies; Emissions; Synthetic Control; Carbon Pricing; Philippines;

    Abstract : Eliminating subsidies on fossil fuels is widely recognized as one of the most important steps in the fight against climate change. While fossil fuel subsidies have received increasing attention in research, there is little to no empirical evidence confirming the theoretical emission reduction potential of phasing out such subsidies.
