DTU International Energy Reports deal with global, regional and national perspectives on current and future energy issues. The individual chapters in the reports are written by DTU researchers in cooperation with leading Danish and international experts. Each Energy Report is based on internationally recognized scientific material and is fully referenced. Furthermore, the reports are refereed by independent international experts before being edited, produced and published in accordance with the highest international quality standards. The target readership for the report is DTU colleagues, collaborating partners and customers, funding organizations, insti- tutional investors, ministries and authorities, and international organizations such as the EU, IEA, World Bank, World Energy Council and UN. DTU International Energy Report 2018 Key Findings and Recommendations – Page 7 Chapter 1 Key Findings and Recommendations “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success” (Henry Ford, 1863 – 1947) By Birte Holst Jørgensen and Katrine Krogh Andersen, Technical University of Denmark Elizabeth J. Wilson, Dartmouth College DTU International Energy Report 2018 Page 8 – Key Findings and Recommendations Recommendations We need Mission Innovation to unleash the global potential of energy technology development and to provide stimulating and demanding frameworks for international R&D cooperation. Our key recommendations are as follows: • Accelerate Mission Innovation. MI should maintain its momentum and create a flexible platform for international cooperation that welcomes multiple (and new) actors, facilitates knowledge and information-sharing, and promotes the cost- and task-sharing of RD&D activities. Members should provide the necessary funding for a lean but powerful secretariat, which could be located together with the Clean Energy Ministerial secretariat at the IEA, where it would be able to rely on tested frameworks and a well-established administration. • Accelerate Innovation Challenges. MI must keep up its momentum in the Innovation Challenges and actively support further development both within and across Innovation Challenges. Coalitions of interested countries should support joint projects on selected Innovation Challenges that have already made progress in their strategic research program- mes. Opportunities for cooperation with industry and co-financing should be facilitated. • Accelerate analytical support. MI should allocate the necessary funding to monitor the pace of technological pro- gress, its impact and the diversity of the portfolio of mitigation technologies being developed (as also suggested by Myslikova et al. [1] and IEA [2]). Advanced data analytics could support decision-makers in further developing and aligning research activities across institutional and disciplinary boundaries.

  • The Global Governance of Climate Change Global Governance Institute, University College London by Liam O’Flaherty, GGI Research Assistant August 2015
    The Global Governance of Climate Change Global Governance Institute, University College London By Liam O’Flaherty, GGI Research Assistant August 2015 Subject: Can the Paris COP in December 2015 deliver on its promise? Significance: With just four months until the 21st gathering of the Conference of the Parties (COP 21) kicks off in Paris, this GGI policy brief takes stock of what is likely to be the global governance challenge of the century. As the deadline fast approaches, we are witnessing a flurry of climate activity. The G7 recently called for decarbonisation by the end of the century, pledging to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40-70 per cent by 2050; Pope Francis has issued an encyclical making the Catholic case for urgent action on climate change; six major European oil and gas companies have – pragmatically – called for a carbon tax; and a court in the Netherlands has ordered the Dutch government to more aggressively cut its emissions over the next five years. All this points, some say, to a surge in support for climate action and an irrepressible momentum that will culminate in a historic deal in Paris. And historic it may well be, but will it be enough? And if it is not, how else might we solve the problem of anthropogenic global warming? This policy brief breaks down the science and politics of this complex global challenge to address these questions. ANALYSIS Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report in late 2014: we now know “beyond doubt” that human activity is the primary cause of global warming.

  • May Research and Policy Summary
    Monthly Report on Policy Developments - Energy and Climate Change May 2015 Purpose: This document provides a summary of recent key developments in policy and research relating to energy and climate change. It has been prepared by the ClimateXChange1 Secretariat and is intended to keep Scottish Policymakers informed of issues relevant to the Scottish Government’s Energy and Climate Change policy portfolio. Climate Policy Global Apollo Programme for carbon free energy launched The London School of Economics this week launched the Global Apollo Programme to Combat Climate Change. The programme aims to establish a major publicly-funded research initiative, on a similar scale to the 1960s US Apollo Programme. It hopes to attract around 0.02% of global GDP (around US$15bn per year) to develop renewables, smart grids and energy storage, with the ultimate objective of making zero-carbon baseload electricity cheaper than coal within 10 years. The Programme has received the support of a number of high profile proponents and is expected to be on the agenda at the G7 meeting on June 7th. However, some commentators have raised questions about the programme’s ability to displace existing fossil fuels and its exclusion of carbon capture and storage, nuclear energy and energy efficiency technologies. Fossil fuels subsidised by US$10m per minute: IMF The International Monetary Fund has revealed that more than US$5 trillion is spent annually on subsidising the fossil fuel industry. An IMF report calculates this cost by considering energy supply costs, as well as costs to people and the environment, including climate change, the health effects of air pollution, traffic road congestion, traffic accidents and road damage.

  • Monthly Anaerobic Digestion Newsletter June 2015 Compilation & Overview
    Monthly Anaerobic Digestion Newsletter June 2015 Compilation & Overview Energy & Climate Change: The Start of Climate Litigation June 25, 2015. Climate change is a “medical emergency” according to new global health report by Climate Council. “A major new Commission published in prestigious British medical journal The Lancet has found that climate change is a “medical emergency” with threats to human health so great that it could reverse the last 50 years of gains in development and global health. According to the report, the direct health effects of climate change come from the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such heat waves, floods, droughts and storms. Indirect health impacts come from changes in the spread of disease, air pollution, food insecurity and malnutrition, involuntary migration, displacement and conflicts. However, the study also found that while the “unacceptably high and potentially catastrophic” human health risks posed by climate change have been underestimated, global efforts to tackle climate change represent one of the greatest opportunities to improve global health this century. The report found that climate change action can bring immediate health gains – such as reduced respiratory diseases from burning fewer fossil fuels; reduced pollution, road traffic accidents, obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke from increased walking and cycling; as well as an improved diet which could arise from eating less red meat. The Commission concludes that while the technology and finances required to tackle the health risks posed by climate change are available, global political will to implement them is lacking, and an emergency international response is required. You can access the full report from The Lancet here.” June 24, 2015.

Pollitta, Robert A. Ritza,*, Wadim Strielkowskia a Energy Policy Research Group (EPRG), Judge Business School & Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1AG, United Kingdom This version: April 2018 Abstract This paper presents a set of policy recommendations for the market design of a future European electricity system characterized by a dominant share of renewable energy supply (RES), in line with the stated targets of European governments. We discuss the market failures that need to be addressed to accommodate RES in liberalized electricity markets, review the evolution of the EU’s RES policy mechanisms, and summarize the key market impacts of variable RES to date. We then set out economic principles for wholesale market design and use these to develop our policy recommendations. Our analysis covers the value of interconnection and market integration, electricity storage, the design of RES support mechanisms, distributed generation and network tariffs, the pricing of electricity and flexibility as well as long-term contracting and risk management.
