Government Promotion of Renewable Energy Technologies
Katrin Jordan-Korte presents the first comprehensive comparison of government promotion of renewable energy technologies in Germany, the United States, and Japan.
Renewable Energy Law
Provides the first scholarly and comprehensive book on the national renewable energy laws of every country that has them (113 countries).
Legal Aspects of Carbon Trading
Since 2005 the carbon market has grown to a value of nearly $100 billion per annum, including the EU Emissions Trading Scheme and other schemes. This work covers the legal aspects of these schemes, as well as reform of the ETS, and the successor regime to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol currently being negotiated. It will be invaluable to those involved in the field.
Climate Change Policy Failures: Why Conventional Mitigation Approaches Cannot Succeed
At the recent UN Climate Change Conferences in Copenhagen, Cancun and Durban, the developed nations promised hundreds of billions of dollars in financial aid to help developing countries overcome global climate change dangers. The developed nations will need to spend many more billions to limit their own greenhouse gas pollution, the main cause of global warming and climate change. Will all this money and effort be wasted? This book argues that nearly all of the world's climate policy makers and expert advisors have been making tragic mistakes that ensure the failures of climate change mitigation attempts.The great majority of climate change programs, from American congressional bills to cap...
Energy Democracy
This book outlines how Germans convinced their politicians to pass laws allowing citizens to make their own energy, even when it hurt utility companies to do so. It traces the origins of the Energiewende movement in Germany from the Power Rebels of Schönau to German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s shutdown of eight nuclear power plants following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. The authors explore how, by taking ownership of energy efficiency at a local level, community groups are key actors in the bottom-up fight against climate change. Individually, citizens might install solar panels on their roofs, but citizen groups can do much more: community wind farms, local heat supply, walkable cities and more. This book offers evidence that the transition to renewables is a one-time opportunity to strengthen communities and democratize the energy sector – in Germany and around the world.
Research Handbook on International Energy Law
International energy law is an elusive but important concept. There is no body of law called Šinternational energy law�, nor is there any universally accepted definition for it, yet many specialised areas of international law have a direct relationship
EU Renewable Electricity Law and Policy
There are two basic policy tools for promoting renewable electricity: price regulation (feed-in tariffs) and quantity regulation (green certificates). In economic theory, they are equally efficient. Contrary to conventional thinking, the author demonstrates that under real-world conditions, price regulation is more efficient. EU law obliges Member States to put support schemes in place, but leaves their design to national authorities. They need, however, to comply with EU state aid and internal market rules, and their financing may not result in import duties and discriminatory taxation. This book provides a detailed analysis of the decisions practice adopted by the Commission and the case law of the Union Courts. As support schemes mature, has time not come for putting an end to regulatory competition? With huge efficiency gains to be expected, the author expertly examines the political obstacles and sets out three different pathways to achieve EU-wide harmonization.
Effiziente und effektive F”rderung Erneuerbarer Energien: Ein europ„ischer Vergleich
Die vorliegende Studie er”rtert verschiedene Instrumente zur F”rderung Erneuerbarer Energien. Die wirtschaftspolitische Herangehensweise kl„rt zun„chst die Rahmenbedingungen Erneuerbarer Energien. Dies umfasst die (politische) Legitimation zum Eingriff in den Energiemarkt und betrachtet die technologische Diffusion und Lerneffekte als Bewertungskriterien. Lernkurveneffekte und Innovationsf„higkeit der einzelnen Technologien spielen hierbei eine groáe Rolle. Im Hauptteil der Arbeit werden die verschiedenen F”rdersysteme und ihre Determinanten unter volkswirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten betrachtet. Empirische Daten und Fakten aus diversen europ„ischen L„ndern werden hier erstm...
