Wind energy, the price of carbon allowances, and CO2 emissions: Evidence from Ireland

Kevin Forbes and Ernest M. Zampelli

Energy Policy, 2019, vol. 133, issue C

Abstract: Increased reliance on renewable energy is an important component of the European Union's action plan for reducing carbon emissions. Another key instrument is the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS), which caps the overall level of emissions and then permits trade among the emitters.
