Part 1: Climate Policy-Induced R&D and Technological Change in the Energy Industry
This lecture provides an overview about climate policy-induced R&D, innovation, and technology change in the energy industry, with extensions about the state of important technological change considerations within climate policy models.
Part 2: Review of US Biofuels Policies and their Implications
In this talk, we provide an overview of the most prominent policies to date that impact the production and use of biofuels and biomass and outline their intended objectives and mechanisms. We focus on three economic sectors, electricity, transportation, and agriculture and attempt to describe the impacts of those policies on other sectors such as food production, energy and environment, infrastructure, and the economy at large.
