Some charts Claude and I constructed on oil consumption projections that seem reasonable to me.

The research in this article is from a forthcoming working paper and follows my recent open-access paper and article. That previous work considered battery vessels (BVs) that could (dis)connect to con...

Could container ships ever go electric? The best option might be a fleet of attendant battery vessels to power these giants directly.

I’m seeking feedback on some early results from a parameterised model looking at the effects of autonomy on the competitiveness and operation of battery-powered heavy-duty long-haul trucks. Represents...

We discuss synthetic biology applications that can lead to long-term decarbonisation and quantify the potential using a top-down approach. We find that promoting the restoration of agricultural land ...

This paper investigates how emerging transport technologies and climate policy could reshape personal domestic aviation demand in Australia. Using a discrete choice model based on National Visitor Sur...

Abstract We analyze the macroeconomic substitution between clean and dirty inputs through the lens of production isoquants derived from a numerical bottom-up model of electricity production. This appr...

Social costs for methane and carbon dioxide emissions, from the risk of climate tipping events and deterministic damages, are derived in an analytically tractable model. In the core model: social cost...
