Abstract

How Much is Clean Air Worth? offers readers a comprehensive overview of the core methodologies and tools used to quantify the impacts and damage costs of pollution. The book begins by reviewing the tools used for environmental assessments and shows that a rational approach requires an impact pathway analysis (IPA) for each of the possible impacts of a pollutant, i.e. an analysis of the chain emission -> dispersion -> exposure-response functions -> monetary valuation. The IPA methodology is explained in full and illustrated with worked examples, and difficulties are discussed and uncertainties analysed. In addition to detailed computer models, a very simple model (the 'Uniform World Model') is presented, enabling readers to make estimates for cases where no results are available. Published results for electricity, waste treatment and transport are reviewed, with a thorough discussion of policy implications. This book will appeal to a broad mix of academics, graduate students and practitioners in government and industry working on cost-benefit analysis, environmental impact analysis and environmental policy.

Abstract

L'énergie est devenue une question vitale pour les sociétés, le citoyen, l'humanité tout entière. Sujet scientifique, économique, politique et écologique majeur, elle suscite des débats, parfois violents, sur les choix à faire aujourd'hui et leurs conséquences pour l'avenir des hommes et de la planète. Mais, alors que se tient le grand débat national sur la transition énergétique, comment se forger une opinion objective sans connaître les données scientifiques les plus complètes sur les potentiels et les limites de chaque source d'énergie ? Ce livre les met enfin à la disposition du public. L'énergie, qu'est-ce que c'est ? Quelles sont les grandes lois physiques qui la gouvernent ? Comment la produire, la transporter, la stocker ? Le solaire, la biomasse, l'éolien, l'hydraulique sont-ils des solutions alternatives suffisantes ? Et quelle part leur réserver à l'avenir ? Les nombreux articles de ce livre (près de 130) proposent au citoyen des outils pour se faire une opinion face à ces questions. Physiciens, chimistes, biologistes, géophysiciens, environnementalistes, géographes, économistes, y précisent, chiffres et schémas à l'appui, la place respective des énergies fossiles, du nucléaire et des énergies renouvelables. Au-delà, ils expliquent quelles sont les perspectives offertes par la science sur le mix énergétique, le problème du stockage, l'amélioration de nos usages de l'énergie, ses impacts environnementaux et sanitaires.
