Governance and Business Models for Sustainable Capitalism touches upon many of the central themes of today’s debate on business and society. In particular, it brings attention to a recurrent tension between efficiency, innovation, and productivity on the one hand, and fairness, equity, and sustainability on the other.
This study explores the driving factors behind the public’s willingness to pay for crowdfunded climate mitigation projects at the farm level. It identifies four mitigation options from the perspective of farmers: solar panels on the barn roof, biogas from animal manure, drag hoses for improved manure dispersal, and the addition of biochar to soils, and investigates the optimal characteristics of crowdfunding campaigns to finance such mitigation measures.
We explore three investment scenarios for the Norwegian offshore energy sector from 2020 to 2070
1) Business as usual, 2) Increasing cash-flow by harvesting existing petroleum fields and cutting investments (Harvest-and-Exit), or 3) Rebuilding with green offshore energy investments. In a new economic model, developed in the SmartPaths project, a joint research project with Statistics Norway, we compare impacts on key macro- and sector- economic variables such as employment, value creation, oil fund and emissions. The model is downloadable from the link below.
Interested readers / modelers can download the model from here and run it with their own assumptions from the dashboard tab, named “dbPES" and study the results on the tab “Comparisons”. The model has been developed in EXCEL® 2019 on a Windows 10 machine. Especially for the dashboard we make extensive use of Macros in VBA and we noticed that, for example, VBA for the Mac on using Microsoft 365 has small differences to the version we used for development. As much as possible, we took care of these idiosyncrasies, but we cannot guarantee that we have fixed all of them. Thus, we encourage anyone to experiment with a copy of the model. Finally, set recalculation in EXCEL to automatic.
To open the model: Choose 'Enable macros' + 'Dont update’. Otherwise the model will not work.
In 2020 European petroleum companies flocked behind a promise to undertake a fundamental green transition to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, running parallel with the EU’s politically proclaimed “Green Deal”. But is it too good to be true?
