Barriers and Possibilities for the Development of Short-Rotation Coppice as an Agroforestry System for Adaptation to Climate Change in Central European Conditions
Researchers from Research Institute for Landscape published an article comparing different production, economic, and selected environmental aspects of agroforestry systems in a standard (alley cropping) and a newly proposed design with fast-growing trees grown in short-rotation coppice. The article presents an economic methodology for assessing the competitiveness of biomass production
Scenarios and analysis of technological developments in the field of decarbonization
Researchers from the Technology Center Prague have developed an analysis of technological developments in the field of decarbonization as part of the SEEPIA project. Decarbonization, i.e. the process of reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, is a key element of climate policy in the Czech Republic and the European Union. The
Evaluation of the decarbonization investment gap: WACC as a key decision criterion for the implementation/non-implementation of decarbonization investments (electricity generation)
A team of scientists from the SEEPIA project has concluded a study evaluating the decarbonization investment gap. The study presents the results of the WACC calculation and identifies the factors that significantly influence it. WACC (weighted average cost of capital) is a key parameter in assessing the riskiness and return
