Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,7, Coventry University, course: MBA - Sustainable Strategy - from Planning to Implementation, language: English, abstract: The executive brief will cover BP’s strategic business unit alternative energy and its three main products: solar, wind and biofuels. The critical evaluation showed the external and internal influences of BP’s strategy in this business field as well as the strengths and weaknesses. There is a higher awareness towards the climate change because of environmental disasters. The people are looking for sustainability and energy saving products. Today, governments have a high influence on alternative energies. Spending subsidies and cutting them of in economic and financial crises influences the company’s strategy. BP Solar is one of the world leading companies in selling solar modules. Focusing on end-consumers and project-work, the company tries to penetrate its 100 country large market with high quality and inexpensive products. BP Wind is only operating in the US. Using joint ventures and own wind parks, the company tries to become of the leading wind companies in the US. As the result, BP Wind is highly addicted to the economic and political development of the country. Higher investments and entering new markets outside the US can help to lower the risks. BP Biofuels is highly connected to the core business of BP: oil and gas. The company is investing more than $2 billion in research and development in the last years to create efficiency sugarcanes. The plant is perfect for the use of biofuels and shall reduce the amount of fossil fuels in the transport industry. But the outcome is quite unsure and the focus is only in two main markets: Brazil and US. An expansion into the Asian market can be important to secure new market in which the demand for transportation will increase in the next decades. Overall, the alternative energy is just a small part in the BP Company but it will become more important in the future. Promotion campaigns can help to show the company’s commitment in this area and it maybe helps to reclaim trust.

Book Synopsis Public Investments in Energy Technology by : Michael P. Gallaher
Download or read book Public Investments in Energy Technology written by Michael P. Gallaher and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escalating energy demand may be the most important issue facing the United States and the world today. There is little disagreement that research and development (R&D) is needed to develop new energy technologies for the future; however, there is less agreement over the specific research agenda to be pursued and how that agenda is funded. This book addresses the social importance of new energy technologies, illustrates policy-relevant applications of evaluation techniques and proposes new perspectives for a US energy investment strategy. Through detailed examples related to solar, geothermal, and vehicle technologies, the authors outline the need for robust evaluation methods to document social returns to taxpayers' R&D investments. They argue that such evaluations are necessary for the public sector to make rational decisions about the allocation of its scares resources. The evaluation methods considered involve developing alternative technology and market pathways from which the benefits of government research can be measured. Researchers and graduate students, policy makers involved in energy technology, and energy R&D program managers will all find much of value in this important and timely book.

This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of the changing global strategic landscape on energy markets is being felt across the world, and is the subject of ongoing debate within industry and governments alike. These changes not only affect the evolution of oil markets and their influence on production rates and pricing, but also a host of other factors, including energy security, the effects of global economic crises, and the growing market presence of Arabian Gulf producers, both in terms of their conventional reserves and their development of alternative and renewable sources. The ECSSR 17th Annual Energy Conference, Global Energy Markets: Changes in the Strategic Landscape, held at the Center on November 1–2, 2011, and the papers compiled in this volume as a result, provide a variety of informed views on these trends and their consequences for both producers and consumers in the Middle East and elsewhere. The effects of geostrategic developments on energy markets and the formulation of energy policies in the GCC states and abroad are explored in detail, as are the economic viability and outlook of renewable energy sources, both in light of CO2 emissions constraints and the involvement of Gulf hydrocarbon producers in the development of renewables. The potential benefits and risks of nuclear energy production are explored, as is public sentiment toward nuclear development worldwide—particularly following recent events in Japan, the repercussions of which continue to be felt both in politics and industry. The ongoing effects of the global economic crisis are also discussed, particularly with reference to their consequences for energy markets worldwide.

This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is the second-largest economy in the world yet it faces serious energy security challenges due to the country's reliance on coal, a fuel with multiple environmental and social problems. Moreover, since 2017 China has become the world's largest crude oil importer, greatly increasing its reliance on imported energy.The International Energy Agency has defined energy security as 'the uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price,' employing metrics in various dimensions such as availability, affordability, accessibility and acceptability to measure the energy security of different nations. Accordingly, the assessment, analysis and improvement of energy security is a complex problem. China's Energy Security aims to resolve this problem by answering three important questions:

Book Synopsis Evaluating RPS Policy Design by : Lincoln L. Davies
Download or read book Evaluating RPS Policy Design written by Lincoln L. Davies and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As renewable energy support policies continue to evolve, assessing their effectiveness is increasingly important. Today, renewable portfolio standards (“RPS”) -- mandates that jurisdictions produce a percentage of their electricity from renewable energy -- are one of the two leading policy tools used to promote renewable energy development. While RPSs have received significant scholarly attention, few analyses have focused on RPS policy design. This Article fills this gap in the literature. Specifically, the Article makes three primary contributions: First, it builds a new conceptual model that can be used to evaluate RPS performance. Second, it employs that model to identify which RPS policy design traits are most likely to influence whether these laws succeed or fail. Finally, based on this analysis, the Article extracts lessons about current voids in RPS policy, RPS best practices, and, importantly, ways that RPS policy design can be innovated going forward. In this way, the Article is both conceptual and analytical. It draws on scholarship in regulatory performance, renewable energy law and policy, and innovation and technology diffusion, and it utilizes examples of RPS performance from across the globe -- particularly in India, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Article concludes that RPSs should focus more on reducing investor risk, expanding the types of resources they promote, addressing equity concerns, and removing external barriers to renewable energy development. While RPSs seek to advance a clean energy transition differently from how feed-in tariffs (“FITs”) promote renewables, policymakers may be able to enhance RPS performance by building into RPSs of the future tools used in FITs today.

Book Synopsis Evaluating Renewable Energy Policies by : Ross Cullen
Download or read book Evaluating Renewable Energy Policies written by Ross Cullen and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The merits of renewable energy, of targeted renewable energy policies, and appropriate evaluation methods, are each contested at various levels including national politics and in energy policy literature. Here, first a range of renewable energy goals across countries and the policies directed at achieving those objectives are reviewed. Second, the arguments advanced to support use of renewable energy policies in many nations are critiqued. Third, some principles are proposed for design of renewable energy policies. Context always matters, and it is essential to consider energy, economic, and geography opportunities and constraints before developing renewable energy policies. Fourth, to ensure renewable energy policies contribute towards attainment of high-level national goals, a decision support approach is outlined that considers the energy context, and asks a series of evaluation questions to aid identification of first best policy measures. Fifth, barriers to and benefits from implementation of appropriate renewable energy policies are briefly reviewed.
Book Synopsis State-Level Renewable Portfolio Standards: Evaluating Their Effectiveness in Increasing Renewable Electricity Generation and Reducing Carbon Emissions by : Matthew J Denneny
Download or read book State-Level Renewable Portfolio Standards: Evaluating Their Effectiveness in Increasing Renewable Electricity Generation and Reducing Carbon Emissions written by Matthew J Denneny and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renewable portfolio standard (RPS) is a key state-level policy instrument meant to encourage renewable energy development and address climate change by mandating increased electricity generation from low-carbon renewable sources. In analyzing the effectiveness of RPS policies, I hypothesize that these policies should increase renewable electricity generation and reduce carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation. Additionally, I hypothesize that more stringent RPS policies should allow for greater increases in renewable energy generation and larger declines in CO2 emissions. To test these hypotheses, I use pooled and fixed effects models to examine how RPS policies play a role in affecting renewable electricity generation and CO2 emissions. My results suggest that these policies increase electricity generation from renewable sources and that the stringency of these policies matters. However, the results are mixed in regard to their effectiveness in reducing CO2 emissions. These findings suggest that RPS policies as they are now may not be the best way to reduce CO2 emissions. Other policies that more directly target emissions may be necessary for states to see the emissions reductions they desire.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental issues and reliance on fossil fuel sources, including coal, oil, and natural gas, are the two most common energy issues that are currently faced by the United States (U.S.). Incorporation of renewable energy sources, a non-economical option in electricity generation compared to conventional sources that burn fossil fuels, single-handedly promises a viable solution for both of these issues. Several energy policies have concordantly been suggested to reduce the financial burden of adopting renewable energy technologies and make such technologies competitive with conventional sources throughout the U.S. This study presents a modeling and analysis approach for comprehensive evaluation of renewable energy policies with respect to their benefits to various related stakeholders--customers, utilities, governmental and environmental agencies--where the debilitating impacts, advantages, and disadvantages of such policies can be assessed and quantified at the state level. In this work, a novel simulation framework is presented to help policymakers promptly assess and evaluate policies from different perspectives of its stakeholders. The proposed framework is composed of four modules: 1) a database that collates the economic, operational, and environmental data; 2) elucidation of policy, which devises the policy for the simulation model; 3) a preliminary analysis, which makes predictions for consumption, supply, and prices; and 4) a simulation model. After the validity of the proposed framework is demonstrated, a series of planned Florida and Texas renewable energy policies are implemented into the presented framework as case studies. Two solar and one energy efficiency programs are selected as part of the Florida case study. A utility rebate and federal tax credit programs are selected as part of the Texas case study. The results obtained from the simulation and conclusions drawn on the assessment of current energy policies are presented with respect to the conflicting objectives of different stakeholders.
