What is the rebound effect?

The Rebound Effect: an Assessment of the Evidence for Economy-wide Energy Savings from Improved Energy Efficiency. UK Energy Research Centre Report Addressing the Rebound Effect.

What are the 4 types of rebound effects?

Four types of rebound effect are considered: economy-wide effects, transformational effects, frontier effects, and international rebound effects. The rebound effect occurs within socio-technical systems (Geels, 2004) such as transport, energy supply and demand, and industry.

What is embodied resource rebound effect?

In this case, an efficiency gain (for example, in the heating system) implies no direct rebound effect since there is no compensation for the efficiency in the use of the resource. The embodied resource rebound effect, however, still occurs, as resources are needed to set up the new efficient device.

What is the sufficiency rebound effect?

This sufficiency strategy, however, triggers a new kind of rebound effect, as pointed out by Alcott (2008): the sufficiency rebound effect. The demand for resources being voluntarily lowered, the price of these resources would decrease, allowing for an increase in the demand by other economic agents.

How big are rebound effects?

The range of results is very wide, from direct rebound effects lower than 30% in OECD countries to economy-wide rebound effects higher than 100% in Norway, China or Scotland (Sorrell 2007). The amplitude of studies reaching different results shows that the size of rebound effects depends largely on the country, sector and level of analysis.

Does resource efficiency have a rebound effect?

The phenomenon of the rebound effect has been known for decades now, yet it is very much absent from resource efficiency policies. One of the reasons is that there is a plethora of different estimates for the rebound effect, depending not only on the country and the sector studied but also on the level and type of rebound effect addressed.
