Advanced biofuels: future perspectives from an expert elicitation survey / Fiorese, Giulia; Catenacci, Michela; Verdolini, Elena; Bosetti, Valentina   Journal Article
Verdolini, Elena Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract This paper illustrates the main results of an expert elicitation survey on advanced (second and third generation) biofuel technologies. The survey focuses on eliciting probabilistic information on the future costs of advanced biofuels and on the potential role of Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) efforts in reducing these costs and in supporting the deployment of biofuels in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and non-OECD countries. Fifteen leading experts from different EU member states provide insights on the future potential of advanced biofuel technologies both in terms of costs and diffusion. This information results in a number of policy recommendations with respect to public RD&D strategies and is an important contribution to the integrated assessment modelling community.

Efficiency-improving fossil fuel technologies for electricity g: data selection and trends / Lanzi, Elisa; Verdolini, Elena; Hascic, Ivan   Journal Article
Lanzi, Elisa Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract This paper studies patenting dynamics in efficiency improving electricity generation technologies as an important indicator of innovation activity. We build a novel database of worldwide patent applications in efficiency-improving fossil fuel technologies for electricity generation and then analyse patenting trends over time and across countries. We find that patenting has mostly been stable over time, with a recent decreasing trend. OECD countries represent the top innovators and the top markets for technology. Some non-OECD countries, and particularly China, are also very active in terms of patenting activity in this sector. The majority of patents are first filed in OECD countries and only then in BRIC and other non-OECD countries. BRIC and other non-OECD countries apply for patents that are mostly marketed domestically, but BRIC countries represent important markets for patent duplication of OECD inventions. These results are indicative of significant technology transfer in the field of efficiency-improving technologies for electricity production.

Future prospect of PV and CSP solar technologies: an expert elicitation survey / Bosetti, Valentina; Catenacci, Michela; Fiorese, Giulia; Verdolini, Elena   Journal Article
Verdolini, Elena Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract In this paper we present and discuss the results of an expert elicitation survey on solar technologies. Sixteen leading European experts from the academic world, the private sector and international institutions took part in this expert elicitation survey on Photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technologies. The survey collected probabilistic information on (1) how Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) investments will impact the future costs of solar technologies and (2) the potential for solar technology deployment both in OECD and non-OECD countries. Understanding the technological progress and the potential of solar PV and CPS technologies is crucial to draft appropriate energy policies. The results presented in this paper are thus relevant for the policy making process and can be used as better input data in integrated assessment and energy models.

Going electric: expert survey on the future of battery technologies for electric vehicles / Catenacci, Michela; Verdolini, Elena; Bosetti, Valentina; Fiorese, Giulia   Journal Article
Verdolini, Elena Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The paper describes the results of a survey carried out with leading EU experts on the future costs of batteries for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles and the uncertainty surrounding them. Battery costs are one of the main components in the overall costs of EVs and improvements could be brought about by increased investments in research, development and demonstration (RD&D). Experts' judgements are collected to shed light on the inherently uncertain relationship between RD&D efforts and the consequent technical progress in batteries. The analysis of the experts' data results in a number of important policy recommendations to guide future RD&D choices and target commitments both for the EU and its member states.

Power of biomass: experts disclose the potential for success of bioenergy technologies / Fiorese, Giulia; Catenacci, Michel; Bosetti, Valentina; Verdolini, Elena   Journal Article
Verdolini, Elena Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This paper focuses on technologies which use thermo-chemical or biochemical processes to convert biomass into electricity. We present the results from an expert elicitation exercise involving sixteen leading experts coming from different EU Member States. Aim of the elicitation was to assess the potential cost reduction of RD&D (research, development and demonstration) efforts and to identify barriers to the diffusion of these technologies. The research sheds light on the future potential of bioenergy technologies both in OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and non-OECD countries. The results we present are an important input both for the integrated assessment modeling community and for policy makers who draft public RD&D strategies.
