Peer-reviewed journal articles, working papers, and other publications apply Stanford’s interdisciplinary strengths in engineering, economics, business, and energy policy to increase global knowledge of low-carbon energy technologies.
The pace of the global decarbonization process is widely believed to hinge on the rate of cost improvements for clean energy technologies, in…
We examine the impact of a disclosure mandate for greenhouse gas emissions on firms’ subsequent emission levels and financial operating…
The rapid transition to a decarbonized energy economy is widely believed to hinge on the rate of cost improvements for certain clean energy…
Comprehensive global decarbonization requires that transportation services cease to rely on fossil fuels for power generation. This paper develops…
The rapid deployment of electric vehicles is widely viewed as a promising path towards decarbonizing the transportation sector. The pace at which…
We examine whether a disclosure mandate for greenhouse gas emissions creates stakeholder pressure for firms to subsequently reduce their emissions…
In vertically integrated energy systems, integration frequently entails operational gains that must be traded off against the requisite cost of…
Energy storage will be key to overcoming the intermittency and variability of renewable energy sources. Here, we propose a metric for the cost of…
The recent sharp decline in the cost of renewable energy suggests that the production of hydrogen from renewable power through a power-to-gas…
Over the past decade, solar photovoltaic (PV) power has experienced dramatic deployment growth coupled with substantial decreases in system prices…
