98 Prozent des weltweiten CO2-Ausstoßes findet außerhalb Deutschlands statt - Tendenz steigend. Klimaschutz als globales öffentliches Gut sollte demnach möglichst weltweit, zumindest europaweit, koordiniert werden. Nationale Alleingänge wie die deutsche Energiewende helfen wenig und können...

As decarbonisation progresses and conventional thermal generation gradually gives way to other technologies including intermittent renewables, there is an increasing requirement for system balancing from new and also fast-acting sources such as battery storage. In the deregulated context, this...

"Before the arrival of the 21st century, Taiwan was widely regarded as a successful model of a country which had not only transformed herself from an under-developed economy into a high-tech industrialised island, but also undergone a revolution from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one....

The use and cost of energy in agriculture have increased, making it necessary to make current agricultural practices more energy efficient. To do this, the prevailing systems must be thoroughly analysed. Studies have focused on assessing the energy performance of individual crops, but notably...

Climate change, energy security and China's stance -- Influences on the development of Chinese policies : historical and contemporary perspectives -- Actors in China's climate-related energy policies -- From CDM to Pilot Carbon Trading Scheme -- ECERS for the energy production sector and energy...

"Recent changes in the global production and flow of energy have remade the world. In this book, the author reveals the forces shaping the future of energy, both renewable and fossil fuel. The New Map offers a new vision of the world's energy reserves and, therefore, the future of geopolitics."

This paper sets out a simple spatial model of energy exploitation to ask how the location and productivity of energy resources affects the distribution of economic activity across geographic space. By combining elements from energy economics and economic geography we link the productivity of...

The Swiss Household Energy Demand Survey (SHEDS) has been developed as part of the research agenda of the Competence Center for Research in Energy, Society, and Transition (SCCER CREST). It is designed to collect a comprehensive description of the Swiss households' energy-related behaviors,...

The feasibility of using finned oscillating heat pipes (OHPs) for heat exchange between counter-flowing air streams in HVAC air systems (i.e., outdoor and exhaust air flows), along with the associated cost savings in typical North American climates, is investigated. For a prescribed temperature...

Cara New Daggett traces the genealogy of the idea of energy from the Industrial Revolution to the present, showing how it has informed fossil fuel imperialism, the governance of work, and our relationship to the Earth.

Bioenergy is a hotly debated issue worldwide, with its impacts on rural development and food security arguably among the most crucial issues for poor African countries. Too often, however, debates and policies regarding bioenergy in and on Africa simply echo concerns and debates elsewhere. At...

This paper analyses the interdependency of water and energy in India’s wastewater sector. Wastewater treatment plants consume a great deal of energy. Energy-efficient technologies are available, but are only spreading slowly in developing countries. In India, only 10% of all wastewater...

By 2022, two billion people will be living in informal settlements according to the United Nations. Although per capita energy consumption in informal settlements is comparatively low, the benefits of energy efficiency uptake – enhanced energy system sustainability, economic development,...

There is no getting away from it: wood is, and will remain crucial for meeting global energy demands, in particular those of the poor. Although wood provides ‘only’ about 10% of total global primary energy, it is the most important source of energy in many parts of the developing world....

Es ist unbestreitbar: Holz ist und bleibt zentral für die Deckung des globalen Energiebedarfs, insbesondere für die Armen. Auch wenn Holz „nur“ 10 % der globalen Primärenergie ausmacht, ist es in Entwicklungsländern oft die wichtigste Energiequelle. Rund 2,8 Mrd. Menschen weltweit...
