CO₂ Emissions Decomposition in Greece: Impact of Carbon Capture & Storage on Power Generation
1. Introduction The rising levels of carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation have become a major global concern, particularly in countries transitioning their energy systems like Greece. This research introduces a decomposition analysis framework to examine the underlying drivers of CO₂ emissions, including economic activity, energy intensity, and fuel composition. By integrating Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies into the analysis, the study provides a forward-looking approach to reducing emissions while ensuring energy stability. This introduction sets the foundation for understanding how innovative technologies and policy interventions can support a low-carbon transition in the power sector. 2. Decomposition Analysis of Emission Drivers This topic explores the methodological framework used to break down CO₂ emissions into contributing factors such as population growth, economic expansion, energy intensity, and fuel mix. By applying decomposition techniq...
