The article argues that fundamental problems of perverse incentives and huge transaction costs render the clean development mechanism (CDM) unfit as the backbone of international carbon offsets markets post-2012. Instead, the article emphasizes the need for multilateral deals around large sectors that leverage synergies between climate change benefits and the core interests of developing countries.]]>Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:00 PSThttp://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2161http://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2129PESD's Research Associate, Gang He, discusses the energy dilemma of doing CCS in China and sets out his technical and policy recommendations for China's adoption of this important technology.]]>Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:00:00 PSThttp://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2129http://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2116Jeremy Carl and Richard Morse explore a set of major catalysts that are about to dramatically change how the world trades and consumes coal.]]>Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:00:00 PSThttp://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2116http://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2120Xander Slaski and Mark Thurber introduce a framework for understanding why the poor often fail to adopt seemingly beneficial technologies like improved biomass cookstoves.]]>Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:00:00 PSThttp://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2120http://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2100Science Magazine's special CCS issue features PESD researcher Richard Morse, who discusses the state of CCS in China.]]>Mon, 28 Sep 2009 00:00:00 PSThttp://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2100http://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2085While the Treasury Department goes on the offensive against media reports of cap-and-trade costs, Michael Wara testified in a Senate hearing that the House climate bill would more than pay for itself.]]>Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:00:00 PSThttp://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2085http://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2088David Luhnow of The Wall Street Journal quotes PESD assistant director Mark Thurber on the failure of Mexican politicians to engage the crisis presented by the stunning decline of the country's principal oil field.]]>Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:00:00 PSThttp://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2088http://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2074David Victor and Richard Morse explain why coal, the world's fastest growing fossil fuel and leading source of greenhouse gas emissions, is here to stay and how climate policy can tackle this problem.]]>Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:00:00 PSThttp://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2074http://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2075Point Carbon reports on PESD's discussion of the potential role carbon markets might play in paying for CCS in China.]]>Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:00:00 PSThttp://pesd.stanford.edu/news/2075http://pesd.stanford.edu/publications/22742Harvard International Review, Fall 2009

PESD researchers Richard Morse, Gang He, and Varun Rai offer a uniquely comprehensive analysis China’s carbon capture and sequestration efforts, which are now widely viewed as critical for stabilization of the global climate. They argue that China’s energy security interests are the primary drivers of current CCS projects. Contemplating CCS at scale in the Chinese context, they argue that Chinese energy markets present special obstacles for deploying CCS in China and offer insights into how international climate policy can engage this crucial problem.]]>Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:49:15 PSThttp://pesd.stanford.edu/publications/22621http://pesd.stanford.edu/publications/22620Program on Energy and Sustainable Development, Working Paper #87, August 2009
