Using Reverse Auctions in a Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Deployment Program
The Waxman-Markey, Kerry-Boxer, and Kerry-Lieberman climate bills call for CCS incentives to be allocated in part through the use of a competitive reverse auction mechanism. This paper reviews the concept of a reverse auction, how reverse auctions are currently used in the public and private sectors, how they can be…

Innovation Policy for Climate Change: A Report to the Nation
The world is not on a path to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The suite of commercially viable climate-friendly energy technology needs to be expanded rapidly, which in turn requires appropriate government policies. The current high cost of delivering low-carbon energy means that energy-climate technologies must be treated by governments as…

Coal Without Carbon
There is widespread agreement that technologies for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) from coal fired power plants are an essential tool to mitigate global climate change. While current technology can do the job, more efficient and less expensive CCS-related technologies would be highly beneficial. This study examines several technologies for…

Agricultural Fires and Arctic Climate Change
Over the past century, the Arctic has been warming at nearly twice the rate of the rest of the planet. While increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases account for much of this steep warming trend, the Arctic is also highly sensitive to short-lived pollutants – gases and aerosols…
