Two biomass gasification concepts, i.e. indirectly heated, steam blown fluidised bed gasification and directly heated, air blown fixed bed gasification are modelled with adjusted equilibrium equations, their energy requirements are integrated and an exergy ...
The residential sector presents a great potential for greenhouse gases (GHG) mitigation. We perform an integrated assessment of different mitigation policies for Switzerland focusing on the residential sector. We analyze the case of pure incentive taxes an ...
A Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) can be interpreted as a complete description of the entire market transactions of commodities and primary factors made by the agents within an economy. A SAM describes also the transfers of revenues between agents (for exam ...
Some commentators claim that the oil market has achieved within a few months what international bureaucrats have struggled to obtain in a decade of international climate negotiations. The fallacy of the oil price argument is that substitutions and income e ...
This report computes the magnitudes of carbon taxes that would be needed to meet strong CO2 emissions reductions targets in Switzerland by 2020 and 2050. It also assesses the economic impacts of meeting those targets through carbon taxes. The analysis is b ...
This paper deals with the modeling of the strategic allocation of greenhouse gases emission allowances in the EU-wide trading market that results from Kyoto agreement implementation. An M-matrix game is formulated where the players are countries or groups ...
This paper presents an empirical study that quantifies the effects of an ecological fiscal reform as recently rejected by the Swiss population. The measure aims to encourage employment and, at the same time, to dissuade from an excessive energy use and the ...
Environmental Context. The chemical speciation of trace metals greatly influences their biological effects. Nonetheless, no clear consensus currently exists as to when metal complexes are bioavailable, especially for field conditions. Recently, the USA EPA ...
This paper proposes a dynamic-game theoretic model for the international negotiations that should take place to agree on a global mitigation scheme when the real extent of climate change due to anthropogenic emissions is known. The model assumes a non-coop ...
