Angesichts endlicher fossiler Energieressourcen und eines drohenden Klimawandels stellt sich die Frage, welchen Beitrag der Einsatz der Wasserstofftechnologie zur Versorgungssicherheit und zur Reduzierung der Emissionen von Kohlendioxid (CO2) beitragen kann. Wasserstoff stellt keine primäre...

Zwei Themen dominieren die derzeitige energiepolitische Debatte: der Klimawandel und die Versorgungssicherheit. Damit der Verkehrssektor bei zunehmender Mobilität von Personen und Gütern einen Beitrag zu diesen Zielen leisten kann, werden neben Maßnahmen, die an der Effizienz der Motoren, der...

Recent increases in production of crop-based (or first-generation) biofuels have engendered increasing concerns over potential conflicts with food supplies and land protection, as well as disputes over greenhouse gas reductions. This has heightened a sense of urgency around the development of...

Recent increases in production of crop-based (or first-generation) biofuels have engendered increasing concerns over potential conflicts with food supplies and land protection, as well as disputes over greenhouse gas reductions. This has heightened a sense of urgency around the development of...

This study reviews economics of production of second generation biofuels from various feedstocks, including crop and wood/forestry residues, lignocellulosic energy crops, jatropha, and algae. The study indicates that while second generation biofuels could significantly contribute to the future...
