Resources and reserves in a carbon-constrained world

a study on rate making and required reserves determination in reinsurance market: a simulation

reinsurance is widely recognized as an important instrument in the capital management of an insurance company as well as its risk management tool. this thesis is intended to determine premium rates for different types of reinsurance policies. also, given the fact that the reinsurance coverage of every company depends upon its reserves, so different types of reserves and the method of their calc...

Engineering Solutions for a Carbon-constrained World

Realistic solutions to reduce or reverse the relentless increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations will require enormous efforts, new approaches to energy systems, and new technologies. While a variety of existing technologies can contribute substantially to large-scale solutions, none can solve the problem on its own. An important technology associated with carbonfree electricity from fossil f...

Biomass With Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage In a Carbon Constrained World

This paper investigates the potential role of biomass electricity generation with geologic carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). The sustainable coupling of biomass with CCS technologies would create net negative emissions, which could potentially offset emissions from other sectors where mitigation is more expensive. We find that the successful development and deployment of biomass power p...

The Origin of Coal and World Reserves

World energy demands and coal reserves

Spotreba svetovej energie a zásoby uhlia On the basis of the expected increase in the world’s population and taking the estimated improvement in both technology and living standards into account, the paper forecasts energy demands. In 2000, actual energy consumption was 380-400 EJ.year, the forecast for the year 2050 is 600-1,050 EJ.year, while for the year 2100 it is 900-3,600 EJ.year. On the ...
