PeerEnergyCloud - Trading Renewable Energies

An increasing number of private households are becoming producers of renewable energy. From an economic perspective it is beneficial to utilize this energy both locally and promptly. This does require the ability to be able to deal with local excess production at short notice using, for example, an electronic trading platform. In this paper we describe a future energy scenario demonstrating tec...

Membrane Engineering: Future Perspectives

From fossil fuels to renewable energies

This paper describes the model of an industrial society based on fossil fuels whose supply decreases and the society is forced to develop alternative energy sources. It is conceived as an abstract model that captures the basic aspect of such a change, but in a simple and schematic way. Despite this, most of the important dynamics of this problem are included in the model. The results show inter...

A realizable renewable energy future

The ability of renewable resources to provide all of society's energy needs is shown by using the United States as an example. Various renewable systems are presented, and the issues of energy payback, carbon dioxide abatement, and energy storage are addressed. Pathways for renewable hydrogen generation are shown, and the implementation of hydrogen technologies into the energy infrastructure is...
