Energy and climate policy: colleagues or competitors?
by Pieter A. Boot
International Journal of Global Energy Issues (IJGEI), Vol. 11, No. 1/2/3/4, 1998

Abstract: Forecasts and scenarios foresee increasing levels of energy consumption and CO₂ emission. Even without strong interventionist policies, the CO₂ growth rate may level off. The question is whether this slow-down will be in time from a climate perspective. A combination of early CO₂ stabilisation in the OECD, Eastern Europe and the former USSR in combination with more expenditure on R&D might enable a ''safe emissions corridor'', although strict climate goals will not be met. More active energy efficiency policies and emphasis on renewables are needed and may be cost-effective. International cooperation will increase this effectiveness.
