Mitigation of atmospheric carbon emissions through increased energy efficiency versus increased non-carbon energy sources [electronic resource] : A trade study using a simplified {open_quotes}market-free{close_quotes} exogenously driven model.

A simplified model of global, long-term energy use is described and used to make a ̀top-level̀ comparison of two generic approaches for mitigating atmospheric carbon emissions: (a) those based on increased energy efficiency; and (b) those based on increased use of reduced- or non-carbon fuels. As ap...
