Geographies of Power: Spatial Strategies for a 'just' energy transition in Tamil Nadu

The era of energy transition has brought to the front, the incredible potential of designing the reciprocal relationship between energy and space. The transition to renewable sources of energy like wind, solar and geothermal energy, uses space in a different way- its altered spatial qualities have blurred the boundaries between technical space ...

Understanding barriers to CO₂ abatement: The Y-factor applied

Barriers to CO₂abatement impede their materialisation. In this research the Y-factor was used in expert interviews to gather information on the barriers to the materialisation of four abatement options in the Netherlands: Insulation, Carbon Capture Storage, Biofuels and Geothermal energy. The potential of these options for the...

Revealing the complexity of reducing GHG emissions in Mexico: Constructing an emission abatement curve to improve comprehension on reducing GHG emissions using the Y-factor

Reducing GHG emissions has become a widely publicized topic to halt future effects of global warming. In an effort to accelerate the energy transition a group of policy-maker from McKinsey developed a tool named marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) capable of illustrating the relationship between the cost-effectiveness of different abatement...
