Essays on mitigation options: Forestry, CCS and Renewable Energy
The thesis 'Essays on mitigation options' analyzes mitigation options for climate change, namely forests, technological carbon sequestration (CCS) and renewable energy. The first paper analyzes in a dynamic partial forest age class model basic economic conditions for enhanced carbon sequestration in forests. The second paper analyzes in a dynamic general equilibrium model economic conditions for enhanced carbon sequestration in forests. Hereby renewable energy and technological carbon sequestration extend the set of mitigation options in the economy.
