Production- and consumption-based energy use in the ASEAN Lessons from the Tiger and the cubs

Energy-intensive activities have been increasingly outsourced to developing countries. Many researchers investigated this trend, and in recent years, consumption-based accounting of energy use and emissions have gained attention. This study contributes to ...

Do rebound effects matter for Switzerland? Assessing the effectiveness of industrial energy efficiency improvements

Philippe Thalmann, Frank Vöhringer, Vincent Moreau, Michel Zimmermann

In energy policy, efficiency improvements are conventional means for reducing industrial energy use as well as related environmental and climate externalities. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of energy efficiency improvements in reducing energy use is kno ...

The decarbonisation of Europe powered by lifestyle changes

Boris Thurm, Vincent Moreau

Decision makers increasingly recognise the importance of lifestyle changes in reaching low emission targets. How the mitigation potential of changes in mobility, dietary, housing or consumption behaviour compare to those of ambitious technological changes ...

Low emission scenario for Europe powered by lifestyle changes

Vincent Moreau, Luis Costa

Decarbonizing economic activities requires simultaneous behavioural and technological changes. At the household level, actions are straightforward, use public transit and stay off dairy and meat. The objective here is to estimate the overall climate benefi ...

Future Urban Charging Solutions for Electric Vehicles

Vincent Kaufmann, François Richard Vuille, Dominic Villeneuve, Vincent Moreau, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon

The numbers of electric vehicles (EV) will increase as many countries perceive EVs as a solution to reduce the emissions of transportation and therefore incentivize their adoption. However, the deployment of public charging infrastructure is lagging behind ...

Hire fast, fire slow: the employment benefits of energy transitions

François Richard Vuille, Marc Vielle, Yann Füllemann, Vincent Moreau

The transition towards decarbonized and efficient energy systems has broad socio-economic implications. We estimate the potential impacts on employment from efforts in energy efficiency in industry, transport and buildings as well as substituting local ren ...

The emission benefits of European integration

Luís Costa Borges, Vincent Moreau, Luis Costa

Simulating the implications of Brexit on the UK's emissions embodied in trade with a multi-region input-output table exposes the benefits of European integration. Under 2014 trade volumes, technologies and energy mixes, a hard Brexit-reverting to a trade p ...

Enough Metals? Resource Constraints to Supply a Fully Renewable Energy System

François Richard Vuille, Vincent Moreau, Piero Carlo Dos Reis

The transition from a fossil fuel base to a renewable energy system relies on materials and, in particular, metals to manufacture and maintain energy conversion technologies. Supply constraints shift from fossil fuels to mineral resources. We assess the av ...

Electric Vehicle Urban Charging by 2035 Preliminary Report

Vincent Kaufmann, François Richard Vuille, Dominic Villeneuve, Vincent Moreau, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon

In this report the research team from the 2035 Urban Charging Research Project from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) presents a list of potential electric vehicle charging solution that could be implemented by 2035 in urban setting ...

Coming Full Circle Why Social and Institutional Dimensions Matter for the Circular Economy

François Richard Vuille, Vincent Moreau

In light of the environmental consequences of linear production and consumption processes, the circular economy (CE) is gaining momentum as a concept and practice, promoting closed material cycles by focusing on multiple strategies from material recycling ...

Material constraints related to storage of future European renewable electricity surpluses with CO2 methanation

Suren Erkman, Vincent Moreau

The main challenges associated with a growing production of renewable electricity are intermittency and dispersion. Intermittency generates spikes in production, which need to be curtailed when exceeding consumption. Dispersion means electricity has to be ...

The computational structure of environmental life cycle costing

Vincent Moreau

Existing computational methods for life cycle costing (LCC) are few and appeared inconsistent with the very definition of LCC. This article improves the common matrix-based approach in life cycle assessment as applied to LCC, correcting previous errors. Re ...
