The aim of this paper is to assess the possibilities of increasing domestic value added created by exports by investments in green economy. It can be argued that a large portion of „green economy“ is knowledge intensive with respect to regular sectors of economy, and if knowledge based economy (KBC) plays a significant role in determining the domestic value added created by exports, economies w...

Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) by Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) has been widely investigated as an alternative to CNG and LNG technologies for storage and transportation of natural gas. In the present work, a theoretical and experimental study was conducted to accurately determine the amount of adsorption of CH4 by GAC. To carry out the experiments, the volumetric method was used up to 4 MPa at c...

Abstract This paper introduces asymmetric demand into an open-economy model. Domestic industries exhibit different export capabilities, and the export market attaches different preferences to them. My model shows how exports influence the market structure and productivity growth. If an industry exports more, the firms within the industry would face a higher domestic-market but lower export-mark...

Arguably, the natural gas transmission pipeline infrastructure in Iran represents one of the largest and most complex mechanical systems in the world. The optimization of large gas trunk lines known as IGAT results in reduced fuel consumption or higher capability and improves pipeline operation. In the current study, a single-objective optimization was conducted for Khormoj compressor station o...

Bolivia provides an example of the immense complexity of local responses to globalization. This paper emphasizes the regional differences that influence how Bolivians react to economic globalization and in particular to the terms of sale of natural gas. Some high-land indigenous communities contest aspects of the neo-liberal global economy while many in the lowland mestizo class embrace opportu...

The global natural gas market is one of the fastest growing energy markets. Russia second largest producer，and its important strategic resource. As main sectors Russian economy, plays a key role in country's financial revenue and trade balance. In addition, it also an part Russia's foreign policy. structure system industry are inconsistent with future development. We assess security risks fac...

The conversion of methane via an OCM (Oxidative Coupling of Methane) to transportable liquid fuel has been investigated in order to utilize remote natural gas effectively. A conceptual view of this new process was developed for gasoline production based on reviews of other conventional processes and sensitivity analyses. The process developed, "ORIGINAL". is characterized by simplification of t...

according to resource curse theory, not only the revenues from selling natural resources do not result in economic growth, but also have some unpleasant effects on economy. this study shows that natural resources cannot be considered curse by itself , but it is the management of revenues which is important. the foreign reserves fund was established to control the effects of oil price volatiliti...
