Chapter
This chapter examines the commercial viability of the Space Solar Power System (SSPS). The SSPS generates electric power during Earth's orbit, and sends the power to the earth by a microwave beam. The cost of the SSPS was compared with that of photovoltaic power plant on the ground. The power-generation cost of the SSPS is estimated, based on a det...
Article
The economic analysis of plastic recycling system presented in this study takes into account fractionation, collection, and processing of plastic waste in residential and commercial sectors. Especially the plastics-waste collection has been modeled quantitatively by using the regional mesh statistics and the reports on office survey provided by the...
Article
This paper proposes a new framework for evaluating quantitatively the effect of carbon taxation. In this study, the tax revenues are supposed to be used only as a subsidy for installing Photovoltaic Power Generation (PV) Systems on houses. The evaluation model developed in this study comprises three sequential modules. The first module is for estim...

... Few studies attempt to quantify the impact of this particular carbon tax on CO 2 emissions. Similarly, Tezuka, Okushima, and Sawa (2002) forecast the extent to which a carbon tax would boost the development of solar PV by using IO methodology. Zhou et al. (2013) published their paper, which simulates the tax's impact on border-trade adjustments with and without the National Inventory Adjustment of Trade by using a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model, after the implementation of the tax. ...
