Sectors

Worldwide carbon dioxide emissions are caused to a large extent by the combustion of fossil fuels. The main share of this combustion stems from utilisation of fuels in the energy and transport sectors. Therefore, our investigation focuses on environmental aspects of energy and transport policies and their sectoral effects:

Transport

  • Ecological and socio-economic effects of transport systems
  • Concepts for a sustainable development in the transport sector
  • Analysis of the volume of traffic and the means of transportation used in freight traffic

Energy

  • National and European regulatory frameworks for energy markets
  • Definition of objectives, choice of instruments and evaluation in energy policy
  • Renewable energy and external costs

Households

  • Policy instruments to include households in abatements strategies
  • Equity aspects of environmental policy
