Climate Finance and Policy Group
@ETH_CFP
Research group at @ETH_en led by @BjarneSteffen. We study the governance of the energy transition, and how to catalyze finance for new low-carbon technologies

Assessing climate change's global economic impacts typically focuses on annual temperatures - but what happens if we include variability and extremes?

Can you assess ex-ante how climate policies spill over between regions via technological change? We try… Great to finally see this paper out, with Bessie Noll and Tobi Energy and Technology Policy Group. #net0prisma
New Paper from a collaboration between our groups ETH Zürich Zurich and IRENA shows the possibilities and limits of using auction data to estimate cost of capital of Solar PV projects! ETH Zürich_CFP
Good data on renewables cost of capital is sparse, esp for developing countries (where it matters). We present a large-n approach of re-engineering PV auction results, w/ Florian Egli Nikolai Orgland Michael S.

Come work with us at Zurich! ⚡️🌍🎓🏔️🇨🇭Now hiring for PhD student positions in climate finance and policy in my team Climate Finance and Policy Group and Tobi Schmidt’s team Energy and Technology Policy Group. #climatetwitter #energytwitter
🚨New paper🚨: Offshore Wind 💨 🌊is considered a key technology for 🇪🇺 energy transition, but its Cost of Capital 💶 are comparably high. Why is that, what to do about it? Read our Perspective w/ Mak Dukan, @anuraggumber Florian Egli Bjarne Steffen sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Great to see this online! Co-authored by our very own Florian Egli. Proposed exactly this about 10 years ago in a NatureClimate paper on de-risking low-carbon investment (see screenshot). rdcu.be/dbgAo Now pls use this data #energytwitter ! how to? doi.org/10.1016/j.joul…
For a NatureClimate piece w/ Jarmo Kikstra we gathered econ papers on 'optimal' global warming.
My takeaways:
1⃣Clear trend📉favoring 2°C target
2⃣Most papers build on default DICE but disagree with its results➡️new default model needed (eg Martin Hänsel et al 2020)

Deploying a diversity of direct air capture and storage technology is critical for complementing deep decarbonization efforts, says Climate Finance and Policy Group's Katrin Sievert our latest blog post.

PhD opportunity with us and Climate Finance and Policy Group! We seek a student to improve our understanding of the economics of (advanced) geothermal power. Geothermal might be a key tech in a clean energy system (or not, depending on economics). Job description here: jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_…
Today the ETH Zurich inaugural and farewell lectures in the autumn semester 2022 begin with Bjarne Steffen's inaugural lecture 'All about 💰? How finance matters for the clean energy transition.'
As always, 5 pm in the #Audimax or online:

How do the cost of charging an electric vehicle compare across Europe (all charging options considered)? See our new #openaccess paper in Nature Communications with Lukas Lanz Bessie Noll Bjarne Steffen and Tobias Schmidt (me). nature.com/articles/s4146…
📰Our partners at ETH Zürich present early evidence on how the Ukraine war has changed public policy support: for policies aiming at the phase-out of fossil fuels, and for policies supporting the phase-in of clean energy alternatives. 👇 Bjarne Steffen Anthony Patt
🚨New paper🚨: Does the Russia-Ukraine war change public support for clean energy policies? We provide early evidence for CH 🇨🇭 and discuss what it means for Central Europe 🇪🇺. With Anthony Patt.
