This book examines the technology effects of environmental policy instruments (emission standards, pollution taxes, tradeable quota and subsidies). The way in which environmental policies influence technical change is an important criterion by chich to judge such policies, and a key factor in achieving sustainable development. Part I analyzes the relationship between environmental policies and technical change in theoretical models. Part II contains empirical results of different technology studies. It examines the impact of policy instruments on the diffusion of biological waste-water treatment plants and therman home insulation in the Netherlands. It is found that the effluent charge was an important factor in the uptake of biological waste-water treatment plants in Dutch industry and that the investment subsidies for thermal home insulation played a limited role in household insulation decisions. The change process in environmentally beneficial technology is also analyzed in three case studies : CFC substitutes, low-solvent paints and coatings, and membrane technology in the metal-plating industry. The case studies present much empirical evidence as to the change process in environmentally beneficial technology. Part III examines the possibilities of inducing radical change in technology, as opposed to the modification of existing products and the adoption of end-of-pipe technologies ; it looks at patters in the evolution of technology and the factors that account for continuity and discontinuity in technical change, and explores how public policy may be used to induce a transition away from fossil fuels.
