The future costs of nuclear power using multiple expert elicitations: effects of RD&D and elicitation design
Characterization of the anticipated performance of energy technologies to inform policy decisions increasingly relies on expert elicitation. Knowledge about how elicitation design factors impact the probabilistic estimates emerging from these studies is, however, scarce. We focus on nuclear power, a large-scale low-carbon power … [...]
Going Electric: Expert Survey on the Future of Battery Technologies for Electric Vehicles
The paper describes the results of a survey, carried out with leading EU experts, on the capacity of both fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to reach commercial success in the next twenty years. The success of electric transport is hampered by a combination of low range, scarce efficiency and high costs of batteries. … [...]
TEDx: Passaporto per il futuro
This event has been organised by Icarus and Università Cà Foscari di Venezia on June 30 2013. Please check the dedicated website for further details on the organisation, or head directly to the video, to the pictures of the event, or to the Storify (in Italian only) … [...]
Clean and Dirty International Technology Diffusion
This paper investigates the role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection and Environmental Policies (EPs) on clean (renewable) and dirty (fossil-based) technology diffusion from top-innovators. IPR protection and EPs are extensively debated policy … [...]
Energy Intensity Developments in 40 Major Economies: Structural Change or Technology Improvement?
This study analyzes energy intensity trends and drivers in 40 major economies using the WIOD database, a novel harmonized and consistent dataset of input-output table time series accompanied by environmental satellite data. We use logarithmic mean Divisia index decomposition to (1) study trends in global energy intensity between … [...]
