Abstract
Energy produced by wind power and biogas is today more expensive
than energy produced by fossil fuels. However, by including
external costs related to the technologies, the renewable
technologies are expected to result in social benefits compared to
the conventional power technologies. The paper will focus on
estimates of externalities related to wind and biogas energy
supplies using the ExternE methodology developed in a major study
launched by the European Comission. External costs are the costs
imporsed on society that are not included in the market price
(e.g. effects of air pollution on health, buildings, crops,
forests and global warming, emissions of noise etc.).
