Designing building energy efficiency programs for greenhouse gas reductions
Costs and benefits of building energy efficiency are estimated as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Pittsburgh, PA and Austin, TX. The analysis includes electricity and natural gas consumption, covering 75% of building energy consumption in Pittsburgh and 85% in Austin. Two policy objectives were evaluated: maximize GHG reductions given initial budget constraints or maximize socia...
متن کاملBaselines for Greenhouse Gas Reductions: Problems, Precedents, Solutions
Acknowledgements: Much of section 7 on lessons from demand-side-management is based on a background paper by Daniel Violette and Shannon Ragland of Hagler-Bailly Consulting. The discussion of the US emissions reductions credits draws on a background paper by Byron Swift of the Environmental Law Institute. The menu-choice method for baseline revelation was proposed in background material by Trac...
متن کاملOn strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Equity is of fundamental concern in the quest for international cooperation to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations by the reduction of emissions. By modeling the carbon cycle, we estimate the global CO(2) emissions that would be required to stabilize the atmospheric concentration of CO(2) at levels ranging from 450 to 1,000 ppm. These are compared, on both an absolute and a per-capita basis...
متن کاملClimate change. Recent reductions in China's greenhouse gas emissions.
T he prevailing wisdom about China's greenhouse gas emissions is that they are increasing steadily, because of the large quantities of coal being used to fuel a fast-growing industrial economy, and most projections show China's greenhouse gas emissions continuing to grow in the coming decades (1). However, we find that China's CO 2 emissions declined by 7.3% between 1996 (the peak year) and 200...
متن کاملGreenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions from Wind Energy: Location, Location, Location?
Increased deployment of intermittent renewable energy resources wind energy in particular has the potential to deliver cost e¤ective GHG emissions in the near term. Accurate quanti cation of the environmental bene ts from these resources has an important role to play in policy design, implementation, and evaluation. This paper develops an empirical approach to estimating marginal operating ...
