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. Costs […]

Reinventing the Wheel: Green and cost-effective approach for expert elicitation
Expert elicitation processes are increasingly applied in environmental policy analyses, to deal with complex phenomena characterised by lack or scarcity of data. Judgments and information obtained from the experts are applied to overcome uncertainty limits of analytic modelling, to support decision-making processes, to populate knowledge and quantitative models and to enhance the synergism of inter-experts […]

7-8 April 2011: International Workshop on “RD&D Needs to Enhance the Role of Nuclear Energy In Meeting Climate and Energy Challenges”
The objective of the Workshop is to present the main results of an expert elicitation survey on the role of research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) in addressing the major problems of nuclear fission. After a presentation of the survey results, participants will discuss both areas of agreement and areas of disagreement, in an effort to understand where there is consensus and where the most important disputes and uncertainties lie.
