    Book Description

    Almost every energy scenario assumes an enormous growth in the demand for energy in the coming decades. Meanwhile, at international conferences and other venues, the primary concern is massive reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, especially of the CO2 produced by fossil-fuel energy consumption. Experts also point out the political risk of depending on petroleum and remind us of the fact that resources are not inexhaustible. This timely book explores: how these conflicting scenarios could be reconciled; how can we shape a more sustainable energy system from the existing one; and possible technological progress and innovations to enable a brighter future. It also addresses the reality that there exists no consensus on the extent to which innovations can really contribute to reconciling ever-growing energy consumption, availability of resources and the environment, and the structural demands on any energy system.

      Product Description

      Current events related to energy policy skyrocketing gasoline prices, the 2003 Northeast Blackout, the Kyoto Protocol s enactment, passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and the influence of recent Gulf Coast hurricanes on energy supplies and prices demand innovative approaches towards conceptualizing the relationship between energy and American society.

      This book takes on a central quandary in the study of energy and environmental policy: What myths continue to exist in American culture concerning energy, the environment, and society? It enrolls twenty-four of the nation s top experts working on energy policy in industry, government laboratories, utilities, nonprofit organizations, and universities to debunk and contextualize thirteen energy myths relating to electric power, renewable energy, energy efficiency, transportation, and climate change.

      While the book focuses on the American experience, it will be of interest to those working in the fields of energy policy, energy and the environment, and technology assessment worldwide.

            Description:
            The aim of this paper is to analyse the profitability of energy-efficient retrofit investments in the Swiss residential building sector from the house owner's perspective. Different energy price expectations, policy instruments such as subsidies, income tax deduction and a carbon tax, as well as potential future cost degression of energy efficiency measures were taken into account. The discounted cash flow method was used for the investment analysis of different retrofit packages applied to a model building scheduled for renovation, i.e. a single-family house constructed between 1948 and 1975. The results show that present Swiss policy instruments push investments for energy-efficient retrofitting to profitability. Cost degression has a minor significance for investment profitability. However, the most relevant factor for the investment analysis is the expected energy price. Expecting a future fuel oil price at the level of 2005, efficiency investments are close to profitability even without policy support. If higher energy prices were expected, energy-efficient retrofitting would be an attractive investment opportunity.

              Description:
              This paper presents an empirical efficiency analysis approach to analyze the efficiency and performance of utilities and its effects on prices under the price-cap performance based regulation (PBR) model. A data envelopment analysis (DEA)-like frontier-based method is used to compute the total factor productivity with the Malmquist productivity index. Results of case studies support the use of the approach to account for the relation of the X-factor and the PBR model on the two power utilities in Hong Kong's electricity supply industry.

                Title: Trends Alert: State Energy Solutions: the Energy Policy Act of 2005, signed by President Bush last August, left many tough energy decisions to the states. Because federal legislation has been slow to meaningfully decrease U.S. foreign oil dependence, states are finding ways to diversify energy supplies and increase conservation and energy efficiency.

                  Description:
                  The energy demand at Murmansk Oblast in North-East Russia is covered at 60% by fossil fuels and at 40% by electricity. This study estimates the potential for reduction of fossil fuel consumption and CO"2-emissions at Murmansk Oblast. The study focus on the municipalities of Apatity and Kirovsk and the apatite ore mining company Apatit JSC . The potential for energy efficiency, reduced fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions is estimated by comparison with the of city Kiruna in Northern Sweden, with a climate similar to that of North-East Russia, and with the iron ore mining company LKAB. This study shows that the potential for reduced CO"2-emissions is about 630,700tons CO"2 annually in the municipalities of Apatity and Kirovsk or 6.3tons of CO"2 per capita, Apatit JSC not included. These results applied on Murmansk Oblast gives a potential for reduced CO"2-emissions of about 6Mtons annually in the municipalities together. The specific energy consumption at Apatit JSC is 6-7 times per ton product compared to LKAB. The mining has 4 times higher specific energy consumption per ton raw ore compared to LKAB.

                    Description:
                    Energy efficiency and economic progress are not mutually exclusive. But the presence of market failures means that achieving optimal investment in energy efficiency necessitates innovative policy intervention. Research into emerging post-neoclassical economic thought may reveal that the opportunity for gain in economically beneficial energy efficiency is greater than traditional economic models would indicate.
