Abstract
In diesem Beitrag wird die Zahlungsbereitschaft für verschiedene Verfahren zur Einsparung von CO2- Emissionen im norddeutschen Raum mittels eines Discrete-Choice-Experimentes untersucht. Die Ergebnisse einer Latent-Class-Schätzung zeigen, dass die Befragten in vier verschiedene Klassen eingeteilt werden können. Die Klassenzugehörigkeit wird dabei im Wesentlichen durch das Alter und die allgemeine Neigung zum Klimaschutz determiniert. Insgesamt haben alle Probanden die höchste Präferenz für die Einsparung von CO2-Emissionen durch entsprechende Zertifikate, die geringste Präferenz haben die Probanden für die Speicherung von CO2 in unterirdischen Lagerstätten. Die ermittelten Zahlungsbereitschaften für CO2-Einsparungen schwanken von 644 €/t CO2 bis zu Kompensationsforderungen für die Anwendung eines bestimmten Verfahrens zur Verringerung von CO2-Emissionen von 161 €/t CO2. In this article the willingness to pay for different methods to save carbon dioxide emissions in northern Germany are examined by a Discrete Choice Experiment. The results of a latent-class estimation show, that the respondents could be disposed into four different classes. The membership to a certain class is mostly determined by the age and the common preferences for climate protection of the respondents. All respondents have the highest preference to save CO2 emissions by CO2-certificates, the lowest preferences exist for the carbon dioxide capture and storage method. The results vary between a willingness to pay for saving CO2 emissions of 644 €/t and a willingness to accept a certain method for a compensation of 161 €/t carbon dioxide.
