Four Policy Principles for Energy Innovation & Climate Change: A Synthesis
There is now little doubt that reducing global carbon dioxide emissions to address climate change at a societally acceptable cost will require substantial innovation in energy systems and technologies over the coming decades. We do not appear to be on that innovation path, however. Over the last two years, several…

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…
