BioCode: Third time lucky?
Fifteen year ago a draft BioCode was presented to the taxonomic community (Greuter et al. 1996). There is now a new version, published in Taxon (Greuter et al. 2011) and available online on the International Committee on Biological Nomenclature website as well as that of the International Commision for Zoological Nomenclature. Has the BioCode matured since it was last put forward? Was it ahead ...
متن کاملGeothermal energy
— Geothermal technologies use renewable energy resources to generate electricity and direct use of heat while producing very low levels of greenhousegas (GHG) emissions. Geothermal energy is the thermal energy stored in the underground, including any contained fluid, which is available for extraction and conversion into energy products. Electricity generation, which nowadays produces 73.7TWh (1...
متن کاملChallenges for Geothermal Energy Utilisation
The Queensland Government recently awarded A$15 million to the University of Queensland to establish a new “hot rocks” research and development centre, called the Queensland Geothermal Energy Centre of Excellence. The vision for the Centre is to provide urgent, forward looking research, development and support for establishment of geothermal energy as a clean energy option through a program of ...
متن کاملGeothermal Energy in Iceland
Due to Iceland’s location on the Mid-Atlantic ridge, the island is provided with a great amount of geothermal energy. Hence, Iceland is well on the way to becoming completely independent of fossil fuels. Whereas high-temperature areas are mainly used for electricity generation, the more frequent low-temperature areas are utilized for direct application like space heating, bathing and greenhouse...
متن کاملGeothermal Energy in Finland
The use of geothermal energy in Finland is restricted to the utilization of ground heat with heat pumps. This is due to the geological conditions as Finland is a part of the Fennoscandian (or Baltic) Shield. The bedrock is Precambrian covered with a thin (<5 m) cover of Quaternary sediments. Topography is subdued and does not easily produce advective re-distribution of geothermal heat by ground...
