As our awareness of the dangers of global climate change grows, the development of new renewable energy technologies is of primary importance in the effort to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Rapid increases in the price of oi ...
The promotion of biofuels as energy for transportation in the industrialized countries is mainly driven by the perspective of oil depletion, the concerns about energy security and global warming. However due to sustainability constraints, biofuels will rep ...
Switzerland, with the forecasted electricity gap between domestic production and demand, aims to significantly increase renewable energy sources including hydropower. Mini hydropower (below 1MW) currently has considerable unused technical potential. As a r ...
We calculated carbon and energy flows in 11 models of FT plants. While uncertainties are substantial, our best- guess estimates indicate that FT diesel is economically competitive, with fuel costs comparable to fossil diesel derived from oil at 34 $/bbl fo ...
Studies on preferences for environmental quality usually posit that price and income explain most of the observed choices. However, we argue that conceptions of social norms and the common good are equally important when analyzing environmental voting outc ...
The improvement of the energetic behavior of buildings has turned into a major issue due to the high level of energy consumption. One of the main objectives of the current French legislation, thanks to the definition of a global performance indicator (expr ...
An optimal planning method is proposed for the renewal planning problem of an energy supply system installed into building from economic viewpoint. In this method, the objective function to be minimized is the average annual total cost during the evaluatio ...
The interest in developing biofuels has rapidly increased during the last decades followed by a strong controversy about their sustainability. Diverting a large amount of land from agriculture to fuels, impacting forests and grasslands, loss of biodiversit ...
In this article, ways for improving the energetic performance of buildings are investigated. A state of the art leads to the introduction of a performance indicator expressed in kWh/m2/yr. To improve the value of this indicator, a processor-based prototype ...
Resources both physical and financial are scarce in most developing countries while environmental concerns are growing requiring a greater effort to rationally plan investments. Nowadays the methods for designing, planning and managing integrated energy sy ...
