In its origins, the Indian renewable-energy program was a response to the rural energy crisis prevalent in the 1970s. In this sense, the renewable energy program has resulted in unrealistic targets and allocation of budgets, which have led to failure [1]. Implementation of energy-conservation initiatives in India has suffered from loopholes, such as numerous independent Ministries, namely, the ...

Renewable biomass and biomass derived fuels could readily replace fossil fuels in many of the present energy utilization applications with concomitant environmental benefits. Gasification is a form of biomass energy conversion producing a fuel that could substitute for fossil fuels in high efficiency power generation and CHP applications. While fossil fuel resources are heavily concentrated in ...

This study investigates the effects of renewable energy determinants on various resources. The empirical results are based data from 31 mainly Asia-Pacific countries observed 2000 to 2018. Different diagnostic tests indicate existence spatial in model. Durbin model with time-period and fixed was selected for analysis. Scrutinizing studies suggest a lack theoretical consensus how work. By examin...

This paper presents the opening talk that briefly surveys the present (May 2011) situation in sustainable energy development. Recent estimates and forecasts of the oil, gas, coal resources and their reserve/ production ratio, nuclear and renewable energy potential, and energy uses are surveyed. A brief discussion of the status, sustainability (economic, environmental and social impact), and pro...

Energy independence and sustainable renewable energy sources are the two main components of security for Nepal. More than 2/3rd consumed in Nepal comes from biofuels waste about 1/4th coal petroleum products. With increasing number motor vehicles rising demand cooking gas, Nepal’s import bills recent years have reached over Rs. 200 billion. its vast water resources, has a great potential sustai...

China is the world’s top carbon emitter and suffers from severe air pollution. It has recently made commitments to improve air quality and to peak its CO2 emissions by 2030. We examine one strategy that can potentially address both issues—utilizing long-distance electricity transmission to bring renewable power to the polluted eastern provinces. Based on an integrated assessment using state-of-...

The modelling of electricity systems with substantial shares renewable resources, such as solar power, wind power and hydropower, requires datasets on resource profiles high spatiotemporal resolution to be made available the energy community. Whereas resources exist for diurnal seasonal scales across all continents, this is not yet case hydropower. Here, we present a newly developed open...

The three processes of urbanization, industrialization and globalization are positively correlated with municipal solid waste generation and energy consumption in global urban centers. Heavy reliance on fossil fuels in most world cities has contributed not only to global warming and climate change, but also to astronomical increases and volatility in the prices of energy sources. Africa has suf...
