AbstractThe exponential growth in demand for digital services drives massive datacenter energy consumption and negative environmental impacts. Promoting sustainable solutions to pressing infrastructure challenges is crucial. Several hyperscale cloud providers have announced plans power their datacenters using renewable energy. However, integrating renewables the challenging because generation i...

The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by the energy transition may lead to trade-offs with other impacts on environment, society, and economy. One challenge is resource use due increasing demand for high-tech metals minerals. A review current state art assessment systems was conducted identify gaps in research application. Publications covering complete supplying a detailed were focus evalu...

There is a substantial increase in energy demand in Turkey because of its growth of industrial development. Turkey’s present energy resources are insufficient and the need for energy is growing rapidly. Turkey does not possess enough conventional fossil fuel reserves, but possesses rich renewable energy resources such as hydraulic, solar, geothermal and wind. Among all, wind energy seems to be ...

To compare the general equilibrium effects of common environmental policies, I develop a model of directed technical change with endogenous exploration for depletable fossil resources, endogenous innovation in technologies for accessing renewable resources, and endogenous innovation in technologies for converting fossil and renewable resources into energy services. I find that a supply restrict...

This paper takes the ‘policy failure’ in establishing a global carbon price for efficient emissions reduction as a starting point and analyzes to what extent technology policies can be a reasonable second-best approach. From a supply-side perspective, carbon capture and storage (CCS) policies differ substantially from renewable energy policies: they increase fossil resource demand and simultane...

The global trend for production of biofuels and bioproducts from renewable resources is currently steered by three important drivers: 1) increasing demand and prices of petroleumderived fuel; 2) increasing food needs; and 3) increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Biomass is the single renewable resource that has the potential to supplant the use of liquid transportation fuels now and help create ...

Abstract The ability to accurately assess renewable energy resources is an essential prerequisite to integrating renewable energy technologies into the energy supply portfolio of a community. This study investigates the potential for wind energy development in Guelph, a growing mid-size city in Southern Ontario, Canada. Community awareness of energy has led to the development of a Community Ene...

a wind farm is a collection of wind turbines built in an area to provide electricity. wind power is a renewable energy resource and an alternative to non-renewable fossil fuels. in this paper impact of wind farms in power system reliability is investigate and a new procedure for reliability assessment of wind farms in hl1 level is proposed. in proposed procedure, application of fuzzy – markov f...

Rural electrification is now and will remain an essential element for rural development in China and other developing countries. With more than half of the world’s population living in rural communities, lessons for rural renewable energy applications and assessment from China can be very helpful in defining a global sustainable development strategy. This paper describes energy needs in rural C...
