Renewable Energy Strategies for Sustainable Development
This paper discusses the perspective of renewable energy (wind, solar, wave and biomass) in the making of strategies for a sustainable development. Such strategies typically involve three major technological changes: energy savings on the demand side, efficiency improvements in the energy production, and replacement of fossil fuels by various sources of renewable energy. Consequently, large-sca...
متن کاملMicroalgae as Sustainable Renewable Energy Feedstock for Biofuel Production
The world energy crisis and increased greenhouse gas emissions have driven the search for alternative and environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. According to life cycle analysis, microalgae biofuel is identified as one of the major renewable energy sources for sustainable development, with potential to replace the fossil-based fuels. Microalgae biofuel was devoid of the major drawba...
متن کاملSustainable agriculture and the production of biomass for energy use
Modern bioenergy is seen as a promising option to curb greenhouse gas emissions. There is, however, a potential competition for land and water between bioenergy and food crops. Another question is whether biomass for energy use can be produced in a sustainable manner given the current conventional agricultural production practices. Other than the land and water competition, this question is oft...
متن کاملRenewable energy and sustainable communities: Alaska's wind generator experience†
BACKGROUND In 1984, the Alaska Department of Commerce and Economic Development (DCED) issued the State's first inventory/economic assessment of wind generators, documenting installed wind generator capacity and the economics of replacing diesel-fuel-generated electricity. Alaska's wind generation capacity had grown from hundreds of installed kilowatts to over 15.3 megawatts (MW) by January 2012...
متن کاملDesigning a model for financing renewable energy projects for sustainable economic development with total interpretive structural model
One of the country's issues in the renewable energy sector for sustainable development is their financing. The current research was carried out with the aim of deeply understanding the dimensions, components and indicators of renewable energy financing and explaining the causal relationships between them in order to design a suitable model using a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) approach. In t...
