    The Industrial Base for Carbon Dioxide Storage (2023)
    RAND Corporation
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-10-05
    Description: If policies aimed at large reductions of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are enacted, more carbon capture and storage will be needed. RAND researchers explored the ability of the industrial base supporting the transportation and sequestration of CO2 to expand, assessing the industrial base for transportation and injection of CO2 for both geologic storage and enhanced oil recovery.

    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.
