Can a combination of efficiency initiatives give us “good” rebound effects?

The increasing depletion of natural resources, combined with a wider set pressures on the environment, has, in recent years, highlighted need for more efficient use energy and development process that involves alternative sources. Energy efficiency has received much attention as solution, implying both monetary emissions savings. However, latter may be partially offset by income demand effects former, sectors spreading to economy. This is problem rebound effects. Taking Spain case study, introducing an energy-related CGE model develops inclusion renewables, this paper evaluates combination initiatives deliver reduced households sustainable supply energy. Our findings suggest package aimed at improving household electricity petroleum use, competitive from renewable sources, only way get reductions all thus benefit Specifically, we consider how lead positive economic impacts associated effects, where are focused greener supply.
