Energy materials to combat climate change.
The growing evidence for, and acceptance of, the role of anthropogenic CO2 in contributing to potentially dangerous climate change clearly provides a powerful incentive for the development of decarbonized forms of energy generation and storage; indeed, the development of energy technologies that are independent of fossil fuels is widely accepted as being of the highest priority. However, the vi...
متن کاملStimulating investment in energy materials and technologies to combat climate change: an overview of learning curve analysis and niche market support.
This paper addresses the probable levels of investment needed in new technologies for energy conversion and storage that are essential to address climate change, drawing on past evidence on the rate of cost improvements in energy technologies. A range of energy materials and technologies with lower carbon emissions over their life cycle are being developed, including fuel cells (FCs), hydrogen ...
متن کاملCombating Climate Change: The Role of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Climate change and its possible impacts on the environment and socio-economic systems now constitute the most important environmental problem facing mankind in the 21st century. Climate change will increase poverty and hardship, endanger food security, destabilize economies, decrease food and water and create social insecurity in many countries and undermine our goals for achieving sustainable ...
متن کاملPhenotypic clines, energy balances and ecological responses to climate change.
The Metabolic Theory of Ecology has renewed interest in using energetics to scale across levels of ecological organization. Can scaling from individual phenotypes to population dynamics provides insight into why species have shifted their phenologies, abundances and distributions idiosyncratically in response to recent climate change? We consider how the energetic implications of phenotypes may...
متن کاملNumerical study of heat gradient and crossing energy to around building walls containing phase change materials in Kashan temperature conditions
The application of phase change materials (PCM) in the variant parts of building because of the high capacity these materials, lead to an improvement in temperature conditions and reduction in energy consumption. Due to the high dependency of the performance of these materials to the ambient temperature fluctuations, their applications in climates with extreme temperature fluctuations has a sig...
