    An Evolutionary Model of Industry Transformation and the Political Sustainability of Emission Control Policies (2023)
    RAND Corporation
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: Limiting climate change will require transformation of energy and other systems. This report presents an agent-based, game theoretic model designed to compare the long-term sustainability of alternative carbon emission reduction policies. The model tracks the co-evolution of an industry sector, its technology base, and political coalitions that influence government policy. It uses robust decision making methods to compare alternative policies.

    Energy Services Analysis (2023)
    RAND Corporation
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Most environmental analyses focus on changing existing processes to use less energy and produce fewer emissions. This report uses energy service analysis (ESA) to examine possibilities for instead changing how a service is delivered. The ESA framework is used to analyze how changes in the provision of two services—news delivery and personal mobility—might reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and suggests other areas in which ESA could be applied.

    E-Vision 2002, Shaping Our Future by Reducing Energy Intensity in the U.S. Economy, Volume I (2023)
    RAND Corporation
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The E-Vision 2002 Conference, held in May 2002, was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy as a step toward implementing a key recommendation of the Bush administration's National Energy Policy. It gathered 150 of the nation's leading energy experts to discuss ways of reducing the country's energy intensity. This volume and the additional volume enclosed on CD-ROM contain the presentations and discussions that took place at the conference, including the identification of goals and the means to achieve them. It is a key work for those involved in implementing the National Energy Policy.

    Managing Water Quality in the Face of Uncertainty (2023)
    RAND Corporation
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its partners develop implementation plans to meet water quality standards. Climate change and other key drivers may significantly affect these plans, but are often neglected due to uncertainty. This study uses two case studies to demonstrate how Robust Decision Making (RDM) can help to address future uncertainty by identifying vulnerabilities in water quality plans and suggesting appropriate responses.

    Costs of Selected Policies to Address Air Pollution in China (2023)
    RAND Corporation
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Air pollution has been one of the most pernicious consequences of China’s last three decades of economic transformation and growth. This report estimates the costs of three measures to reduce air pollution in China: replacing coal with natural gas for residential and commercial heating, replacing half of China's coal-fired electric power generation with renewables or nuclear power, and scrapping highly polluting vehicles.
