How much land is needed for global food production under scenarios of dietary changes and livestock productivity increases in 2030
- S. Wirsenius, C. Azar, G. Berndes
- Environmental Science
- 1 November 2010
Growing global population figures and per-capita incomes imply an increase in food demand and pressure to expand agricultural land. Agricultural expansion into natural ecosystems affects biodiversity… Expand
The feasibility of low CO2 concentration targets and the role of bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS)
- C. Azar, K. Lindgren, +5 authors E. D. Larson
- Environmental Science
- 20 May 2010
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC 1992) calls for stabilization of atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations at a level that would prevent dangerous… Expand
Discounting and Distributional Considerations in the Context of Global Warming.
- C. Azar, T. Sterner
- Economics
- 1 November 1996
The economics of global warming is reviewed with special emphasis on how the cost depends on the discount rate and on how costs in poor and rich regions are aggregated into a global cost estimate.… Expand
Carbon Capture and Storage From Fossil Fuels and Biomass – Costs and Potential Role in Stabilizing the Atmosphere
- C. Azar, K. Lindgren, E. D. Larson, K. Möllersten
- Environmental Science, Chemistry
- 1 March 2006
The capture and storage of CO2 from combustion of fossil fuels is gaining attraction as a means to deal with climate change. CO2 emissions from biomass conversion processes can also be captured. If… Expand
Near-term technology policies for long-term climate targets—economy wide versus technology specific approaches
- Björn A. Sandén, C. Azar
- Engineering
- 1 August 2005
Abstract The aim of this paper is to offer suggestions when it comes to near-term technology policies for long-term climate targets based on some insights into the nature of technical change. We make… Expand
Global energy scenarios meeting stringent CO2 constraints--cost-effective fuel choices in the transportation sector
- C. Azar, K. Lindgren, B. Andersson
- Engineering
- 1 August 2003
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to assess fuel choices in the transportation sector under stringent global carbon constraints. Three key questions are asked: (i) when is it cost-effective to… Expand
Weight Factors in Cost-Benefit Analysis of Climate Change
- C. Azar
- Economics
- 1 April 1999
Equity considerations may justify the use of weight factors when estimating the costs of climate change. This paper reviews different weight factors that have been used in the climate economics… Expand
Meeting global temperature targets?the role of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage
- C. Azar, D. Johansson, N. Mattsson
- Environmental Science
- 1 September 2013
In order to meet stringent temperature targets, active removal of CO2 from the atmosphere may be required in the long run. Such negative emissions can be materialized when well-performing bioenergy… Expand
A REVIEW OF TECHNICAL CHANGE IN ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE POLICY
- C. Azar, H. Dowlatabadi
- Economics
- 1 November 1999
▪ Abstract Climate policy is often discussed as a lever with which to bring about climate-friendly technical innovation and diffusion. However, quantitative policy assessments routinely treat… Expand
