driving forces of iran s co2 emissions from energy consumption an lmdi decomposition approach
Applied Energy, 2017Co-Authors: Babak Mousavi, Neil Stephen Lopez, Jose Bienvenido M Biona, Anthony S F Chiu, Markus BleslAbstract:Abstract In order to address climate change in an effective manner, it is essential to quantify driving forces of CO2 emissions in the fossil-fuel rich countries. Iran is among the top ten CO2 emitting countries. Moreover, it has the largest Natural Gas Reserve and the fourth largest oil Reserve in the world. However, there is a lack of comprehensive analytical studies on quantifying the contributions of key drivers to Iran’s CO2 emissions. This study fills this gap and performs in a systematic manner three variations of decomposition analyses on driving forces of carbon emissions from 2003 to 2014 due to energy consumption of the industry, driving forces of carbon intensity of the electricity generation, and key drivers of carbon emissions due to total fossil fuel combustion. In addition, the other novelty of this study is inclusion of the effect of electricity import and export in the decomposition analysis, which opens important avenues for analysis of emissions’ driving factors in countries currently engaged, or will engage in electricity trade. In the discussion of results, we take an international perspective and discuss findings pertaining to Iran as a fuel-rich country. Furthermore, we demonstrate real applications of decomposition analysis in policymaking using real experiences of Iran. Major findings highlight that the main driver to Iran’s CO2 emissions is increased consumption, which was responsible for an additional 201.5 MtCO2 since 2004, while technology-related improvements (e.g. energy mix) were only able to offset 7.7 MtCO2. Additional Natural Gas capacity, especially in the transport sector helps improve the energy mix, but would require more. Insights on electricity trading and hydropower are also presented, before we end with appropriate policy implications.

u s oil and Natural Gas Reserve prices 1982 2003
Energy Economics, 2005Co-Authors: M A Adelman, G. C. WatkinsAbstract:Abstract A time series is estimated of in-ground prices of U.S. oil and Natural Gas Reserve prices for the period 1982–2003, using market transaction data. Reserves sold are considered as proved; errors in this respect may affect estimates, in either direction. The data are also used to examine the impact of Reserve status, production rate, and well head prices, on Reserve prices. Both oil and Gas current values rose after 2000. In real terms, the Reserve value of oil rose sharply in 2003, but stayed below the 1985 peak; that of Gas remained below the mid-1980s. Oil Reserve values hold for the worldwide industry; Gas values only for North America.

oil and Natural Gas Reserve prices addendum to ceepr wp 03 016 including results for 2003 revisions to 2001
2005Co-Authors: M A Adelman, G. C. WatkinsAbstract:Introduction. A working paper entitled “Oil and Natural Gas Reserve Prices 1982-2002: Implications for Depletion and Investment Cost” was published in October 2003 (cited hereafter as Adelman & Watkins [2003]). Since then we have obtained data for 2003 and estimated oil and Natural Gas Reserve prices for that year. We have also revised our previous estimates of Reserve prices for 2001. This addendum paper reports on the nature and significance of the results for 2003 and the revisions to 2001. We have also extended the analysis by adding two new features. First is the expression of Reserve prices in real terms – previously we had only reported nominal prices. Second, we have estimated levelized or constant field prices that appear to underlie Reserve prices, for each year. We refer to these as planning prices. Previously we had only published estimated growth rates in field prices from levels prevailing for a given year, congruent with our estimates of Reserve prices. Section 1 of this Addendum paper highlights the 2003 results. Section 2 discusses the revisions for year 2001. Section 3 outlines the nature of the analytical extensions, presents the results, and discusses what they show. Concluding remarks are in Section 4. Adelman & Watkins [2003] included an extensive set of tables in Appendices. The revisions to all these tables to include 2003 and revised 2001 data are attached here as Appendices. This paper is to be read in conjunction with, not as a substitute for, Adelman & Watkins [2003]: analysis and description in the 2003 paper is not repeated here.

Oil and Natural Gas Reserve prices, 1982-2002 : implications for depletion and investment cost
2003Co-Authors: M A Adelman, G. C. WatkinsAbstract:The main object of this research is to estimate a time series for the total and unit value of in-ground proved oil Reserves and Natural Gas Reserves in the United States. There are good official statistics of the physical quantities. Our task has been primarily to estimate the in-ground unit values. Total in-ground value equals quantity times unit value.
