Link 2. The interaction of energy services, breakthrough technologies, and human need satisfaction : EconTrans working paper #1
abstractIn the context of research on long-run transformations, such as the low-carbon energy transformation, research interest is growing on how to define and measure human wellbeing meaningfully. The working paper provides a thorough discussion of the literature on well-being and human needs in the context of energy consumption and confronts this scientific discourse with the concept of energy services, or functionalities. Based on a thorough literature review and a comprehensive stakeholder consultation process, we show, that energy services represent the crucial link between energy use (and related GHG emissions) and human need satisfaction.

6. Carbon Pricing and COVID-19
abstractA question arising from the COVID-19 crisis is whether the merits of cases for climate policies have been affected. This article focuses on carbon pricing, in the form of either carbon taxes or emissions trading. It discusses the extent to which relative costs and benefits of introducing carbon pricing may have changed in the context of COVID-19, during both the crisis and the recovery period to follow. In several ways, the case for introducing a carbon price is stronger during the COVID-19 crisis than under normal conditions. Oil costs are lower than normal, so we would expect less harm to consumers compared to normal conditions. Governments have immediate need for diversified new revenue streams in light of both decreased tax receipts and greater use of social safety nets. Finally, supply and demand shocks have led to already destabilized supply-side activities, and carbon pricing would allow this destabilization to equilibrate around greener production for the long-term. The strengthening of the case for introducing carbon pricing now is highly relevant to discussions about recovery measures, especially in the context of policy announcements from the European Union and United States House of Representatives.Key Policy Insights: • Persistently low oil prices mean that consumers will face lower pain from carbon pricing than under normal conditions. • Many consumers are more price-sensitive during the COVID-19 context, which suggests that a greater relative burden from carbon prices would fall upon producers as opposed to consumers than under normal conditions. • Carbon prices in the COVID-19 context can introduce new revenue streams, assisting with fiscal holes or with other green priorities. • Carbon pricing would contribute to a more sustainable COVID-19 recovery period, since many of the costs of revamping supply chains are already being felt while idled labor capacity can be incorporated into firms with lower carbon-intensity

8. Economic assessments of aspects of climate policy in a globalized world economy
abstractTo avoid the most severe and catastrophic impacts of climate change, anthropogenic GHG emissions, which are the main driver for climate change, have to be substantially reduced. To that end national and international regulatory instruments, such as the Kyoto Protocol, have been put in place. However, in practice, these climate policy frameworks are subject to severe limitations and have therefore not delivered the anticipated results with respect to effective GHG emission reductions on a global scale. Four concrete limitations of current international climate policy and of potential remedies, as well as of the prevailing approaches for their analysis are considered in this doctoral thesis. These limitations refer to the limited regional coverage of international climate policies leading to carbon leakage, the limited effectiveness of potential future anti-leakage border carbon adjustment (BCA) measures, the counterproductive long-term incentives of these anti-leakage policy measures impeding a low-carbon energy transition, and the high financing costs for low-carbon renewable energy technology investments in developing countries triggered by high perceptions of risks by investors. By employing different qualitative and quantitative economic methods, covering a levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) model, the computable general equilibrium (CGE) approach, qualitative expert interviews, and case study analyses, this doctoral thesis carries out an economic assessment of these four limitations of current climate policy in the context of a globalized world economy.
