In this paper, we identify key drivers and barriers for the adoption of building energy retrofits in Germany, which is promoted by public policy as an important measure to address the future challenges of climate change and energy security. We analyze data from a 2009 survey of more than 400 owner-occupiers of single-family detached, semidetached, and row houses in Germany, that was conducted a...

According to the state institute for chemical and veterinary analysis of food, “Conventionally grown wine grapes are one of the crops most extensively treated with pesticides” (CVUA Stuttgart). The use of different fungicides and insecticides is commonplace in vineyards across the world to improve crop yields. Maximum residue levels (MRLs) have been established for grapes in many areas in the w...

This work aims to examine the barriers improving energy efficiency as encountered by Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) in Jordan, based on seven theoretical models and a comprehensive survey. paper employs quantitative methodology statistical survey of ESCOs Jordan during 2018. The survey, which covers 120 firms, explores four sets measures: technical, functional, corporate image economic. empi...

The climate-change agreement negotiated in Kyoto obliges the OECD countries to initiate the international effort of abating the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. In the event that such an initiative is taken, the associated competitive pressures may induce Ž significant offsetting increases in non-OECD emissions a process generally known as . leakage . The current models used to study the...

When designing choice experiments for nonmarket valuation the role of the price attribute is of major importance. In the energy sector the uncertainty of future direction of changes in prices makes it difficult to include an adequate price vector in the design. We separately investigate the implication of using price vectors with increases and decreases in tariffs from current levels, on margin...

As the global economy grows, so does demand for energy. Investment in clean energy projects, including geothermal, is increasingly important to help meet these growing needs. Clean projects are also environmental reasons and as part of battle against climate change. Many sources world located developing countries, emerging market economies. Investors countries normally faced with higher risks t...

This paper situates the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7, 8, and 13 to investigate growth-energy-emissions trilemma. It uniquely contributes discourse by using carbon emissions per (emissions), GDP capita (economic growth), energy use (nonrenewable energy) renewable from seven South Asian countries covering 1990 2019 determine effect of economic growth on if its intera...

In many developing and emerging economies of the world, renewable non-renewable energy use has been a contentious issue in maintaining sustainable economy. Renewable is popular because increased oil demand cost, dependence on external sources emissions leading to environmental destruction. Particularly Nigeria, due poor electricity supply inadequate access clean energy; houses firms have subjec...
