This paper considers hypothetical options for the transformation of the Bolivian power generation system to one that emits less carbon dioxide. Specifically, it evaluates the influence of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) on marginal abatement cost curves (MACC) when applying carbon taxation to the power sector. The study is illustrated with a bottom-up least-cost optimization model. Projections of key parameters influence the shape of MACCs and the underlying technology configurations. These are reported. Results from our study (and the set of assumptions on which they are based) are country-specific. Nonetheless, the methodology can be replicated to other case studies to provide insights into the role carbon taxes and lowering finance costs might play in reducing emissions.

Abstract The German Energiewende (energy transition) started with price guarantees for avoidance activities and later turned to premiums and tenders. Dynamic efficiency was a core concept of this environmental policy. Out of multiple technologies wind and solar power—which were considered too expensive at the time—turned out to be cheaper than the use of oil, coal, gas or nuclear energy for power generation, even without considering externalities. The German minimum price policy opened doors in a competitive way, creating millions of new generators and increasing the number of market participants in the power sector. The fact that these new generators are distributed, non-synchronous and weather-dependent has caused contentious discussions and specific challenges. This paper discusses these aspects in detail and outlines its impacts. It also describes Swiss regulations that successfully launched avoidance technologies or services and asks why exactly Pigou's neoclassical economic approach to the internalization of damage costs (externalities) has rarely worked in policy reality, while sector-specific innovations based on small surcharges have been more successful. Based on the model of feed-in tariffs, a concept for the introduction of low-carbon air traffic is briefly outlined. Graphic Abstract

Abstract A confluence of technology development, policy support, and industry investment trends are accelerating the pace of Hydrogen (H2) technology demonstrations, increasing the likelihood of power sector impacts. In preparation for a largescale power sector shift toward decarbonization for a low-carbon future, several major power equipment manufacturers are developing gas turbines that can operate on a high H2-volume fuel. Many have H2 capable systems now that range from 5 to 100% H2. Units with 100% H2 capabilities are either using a diffusion burner or some version of a wet low emissions (WLE) burner. Most dry low emission/dry low NOx (DLE/DLN) technologies are currently limited to ~60% H2 or less. Therefore, research is currently underway to develop low NOx gas turbine combustion systems with improved Hydrogen capability. This paper provides an overview of the technical challenges of Hydrogen combustion and the probable technologies with which the manufacturers will respond.

Urban-industrial symbiosis (UIS) is an important system innovation via sectors integration, and has been widely recognized as a novel pathway for achieving regional eco-industrial development. Eco-efficiency, as a mature approach and indicator, offers an effective tool to uncover both the status and trends of such a transformation. However, most studies have focused on the whole industry or city as a whole, which has meant that a view from the sectoral level focusing on UIS was missing. To fill this research gap, this paper applied a modified eco-efficiency approach using integrating input–output analysis (IOA) and carbon footprint (CFP) to identify the eco-efficiency benefits of UIS from a sectoral level. Specifically, sector-level economic data (as economic outputs) and CFP (as environmental impacts) are used to calculate the sectoral eco-efficiency. IOA helps to offer sectoral economic data, and, with integrating process-based inventory analysis, to conduct a CFP calculation at the sectoral level. To test the feasibility of the developed approach, urban industrial symbiosis scenarios in one typical industrial city of China were analyzed. This city is held up as the national pilot of the circular economy, low-carbon city, and ecological civilization in China. Scenarios analysis on a business as usual (no UIS) and with UIS implementation in 2012 were undertaken and compared with the change of sectoral CFP and eco-efficiency. The results highlighted a moderate increase in eco-efficiency and trade-offs in certain sectors, indicating that UIS was moderately effective in increasing the urban resource efficiency from a sectoral level, but a refined design was required. Policy recommendations are made based on the analytical results, to inform decision makers and urban and industrial managers seeking to improve the implementation of UIS as a means of achieving greater urban sustainability.

Kabupaten Kendal adalah wilayah yang memiliki peran sebagai salah satu pusat aktivitas industri di Provinsi Jawa Tengah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sebaran sumber emisi CO2 dari sektor industri serta menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan emisi tersebut sebagai dasar acuan dalam merumuskan implikasi kebijakan penataan ruang aktivitas industri di Kabupaten Kendal berdasarkan konsep low carbon city. Analisis dilakukan terhadap sembilan aktivitas industri skala besar yang besar tersebar pada tiga kecamatan di Kabupaten Kendal yaitu Kecamatan Kaliwungu, Boja dan Kangkung. Hasil dari analsisis terhadap kadar intensitas produksi emisi CO2 aktivitas industri menunjukkan bahwa industri PT. Sinar Bahari Agung di Kecamatan Kangkung memiliki menghasilkan emisi CO2 tertinggi. Sementara itu untuk hasil dari analisis potensi pertumbuhan pertumbuhan emisi CO2 dilihat dari faktor penghambat dan pemicu pertumbuhan emisi tersebut, menunjukkan bahwa hingga tahun 2031 pertumbuhan emisi CO2 sektor industri di Kabupaten Kendal akan terus mengalami peningkatan. Implikasi kebijakan penataan ruang yang dapat diterapkan adalah penambahan areal ruang terbuka hijau. Penambahan ruang terbuka hijau diprioritaskan pada aktivitas industri pada aktivitas industri PT. Sinar Bahari Agung dan PT. Rimba Partikel Indonesia. Selain itu, implikasi kebijakan lainnya yang dapat diterapkan ialah dengan membatasi pertumbuhan aktivitas industri di wilayah bagian selatan Kabupaten Kendal serta pengoptimalan pemanfaatan lahan industri dengan penerapan Industrial Symbiosis.
