Key Issues for Long-Term Climate Policy Design in GCC Countries with a Focus on Qatar

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

This chapter explores the challenges and options of designing an efficient long-term global climate policy for Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The authors start by reviewing the exposure of GCC countries to climate risks and the mitigation and ad ...

Reaching Paris Agreement goal through carbon dioxide removal development: A compact OR model

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

A compact operations research (OR) model is proposed to analyse the prospects of meeting the Paris Agreement targets when direct air capture technologies can be used or not. The main features of the model are (i) the representation of the economy and energ ...

GCC Countries Strategic Options in a Global Transition to Zero-Net Emissions

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

Using a multi-level perspective approach combined with top-down macroeconomic models, we analyze the situation of the GCC countries in the perspective of a global transition to zero-net emissions before the end of the century. Based on these analyses, we p ...

A post-COVID-19 economic assessment of the Chilean NDC revision

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

intensity-based emissions reductions to an effective emissions target. This paper aims to assess the economic and environmental impacts of this change in the current context of high uncertainty Chile faces with social protests and the COVID-19 pandemic. Us ...

Economic Assessment of the Development of CO2 Direct Reduction Technologies in Long-term Climate Strategies of the Gulf Countries

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

This paper proposes an assessment of long-term climate strategies for oil- and gas-producing countries-in particular, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states-as regards the Paris Agreement goal of limiting the increase of surface air temperature t ...

Overcapacity in European power systems: Analysis and robust optimization approach

Michel Bierlaire, François Maréchal, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Stefano Moret

The planning of national power systems is traditionally based on long-term forecasts of electricity demand and fuel prices. However, over such long time horizons (20-50 years), these forecasts often prove to be inaccurate. As an example, wrong projections ...

An Oligopoly Game of CDR Strategy Deployment in a Steady-State Net-Zero Emission Climate Regime

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

In this paper, we propose a simple oligopoly game model to represent the interactions between coalitions of countries in deploying carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies in a steady-state net-zero emission climate regime that could take place by the end o ...

Decision support for strategic energy planning: A robust optimization framework

Michel Bierlaire, François Maréchal, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Stefano Moret

Optimization models for long-term energy planning often feature many uncertain inputs, which can be handled using robust optimization. However, uncertainty is seldom accounted for in the energy planning practice, and robust optimization applications in thi ...

Producing Policy-relevant Science by Enhancing Robustness and Model Integration for the Assessment of Global Environmental Change

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Santosh Ram Joshi, Alain Haurie

We use the flexible model coupling technology known as the bespoke framework generator to link established existing modules representing dynamics in the global economy (GEMINI-E3), the energy system (TIAM-WORLD), the global and regional climate system (MAG ...

Potentials of Negative Emissions in the Design of Climate Agreements

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

The aim of this paper is to explore the long-term relevance of negative emissions for the attainment of Paris agreement goals. For this purpose, we extend a game theoretic meta-model used to assess the future of Paris agreement to the time horizon 2100 and ...
