When speaking of energy production and consumption in the context of climate change, the interest usually lies in mitigation policies and measures, i.e. the energy system is seen as an emitter of greenhouse gases. This paper takes a different approach and ...
Aerosol indirect effects (AIE) are a principal source of uncertainty in future climate predictions. The present study investigates the equilibrium response of the climate system to present-day and future AIE using the general circulation model (GCM), Godda ...
Gases trapped in polar ice provide our most direct record of the changes in greenhouse gas levels during the past 150,000 years. The best documented trace-gas records are for CO2 and CH4. The measurements corresponding to the industrial period document the ...

This report describes the game structures implemented in the TOCSIN project to find self-enforcing and stable international environmental agreements. It presents the first results obtained with the use of these models. The document starts with a review of ...
In order to mitigate climate change, the countries that ratified the Kyoto protocol agreed to lower their greenhouse gas emissions during the period 2008-2012 of 5% on average compared to their emissions of 1990. Carbon separation and storage (CSS) process ...
Centred on research and development in solar energy applications to the built environment, the international conference CISBAT 2007 once more highlighted a good number of interesting technological innovations. The scientific discoveries and developments pr ...
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 harmonized worldwide carbon tax, implemented at regional or national level, can be enforced only with an international collective action which takes into account inherent interests of all countries. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact ofthe ...
The interest in developing biofuels has rapidly increased during the last decades followed by a strong controversy about their sustainability. Diverting a large amount of land from agriculture to fuels, impacting forests and grasslands, loss of biodiversit ...
Within the global challenge of climate change and energy security, hydrogen is considered as a promising decarbonized energy vector to be used in electricity production and transportation. In this paper, the thermo-chemical production of hydrogen by natura ...
