Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical estimates of the direct rebound effect: A review
TL;DR: The evidence in favour of Jevons Paradox is far from conclusive, but it does suggest that economywide rebound effects are larger than is conventionally assumed and that energy plays a more important role in driving productivity improvements and economic growth than is normally assumed as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rebound effect: Microeconomic definitions, limitations and extensions
Steve Sorrell,John Dimitropoulos +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a rigorous definition of the rebound effect, to clarify key conceptual issues and to highlight the potential consequences of various assumptions for empirical estimates of the effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing energy demand: A review of issues, challenges and approaches
TL;DR: The authors provides an overview of the main issues and challenges associated with energy demand reduction, summarises how this challenge is framed by key academic disciplines, indicates how these can provide complementary insights for policymakers and argues that a socotechnical perspective can provide a deeper understanding of the nature of this challenge and the processes through which it can be achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global oil depletion: A review of the evidence
TL;DR: The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) as mentioned in this paper conducted an independent, thorough and systematic review of the evidence, with the aim of establishing the current state of knowledge, identifying key uncertainties and improving consensus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unconventional gas - A review of regional and global resource estimates
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.
