TL;DR: The authors assesses the currently available evidence on the size of unconventional gas resources at both the regional and global level and concludes that unconventional gas could represent 40% of the remaining technically recoverable resource of natural gas, but the level of uncertainty is extremely high.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the combined direct and indirect rebound effects from seven measures that improve the energy efficiency of UK dwellings, based upon estimates of the income elasticity and greenhouse gas intensity of 16 categories of household goods and services.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the reasons for these uncertainties, focussing in particular on the methods used to derive resource estimates, and conclude that there are substantial difficulties in assessing the recoverable volumes of shale gas and that current resource estimates should be treated with considerable caution.
