To meet the increasing global demand for renewable energy such as wind energy, more and more new wind parks are installed worldwide. Finding a suitable location, however, requires a detailed and often costly analysis of the local wind conditions. Plain average wind speed maps cannot provide a...

This paper discusses structure, impact, costs, and efficiency of renewable energy supply in the eight largest advanced economies (the G-7 plus Spain), with focus on Germany. Renewables production costs are compared to benefits, defined as reductions in net carbon emissions; technological...

This study utilizes panel data from 14 provinces of Kazakhstan and investigates the link between the point-source resources (oil and gas) and economic growth via institutional quality. Labour force migration from manufacturing to non-traded sector occurs as a result of wage increase in the...

The article concerns the analysis of the results of surveys conducted by the author in Lower Silesia region in Poland. The results of the research presented in the article have been narrowed down for the stimulants (benefits, advantages and reasons) of the renewable energy sources (RES)...

Thermal coal power plants in Poland have not been and will not be able to meet the demand for energy in the country, in the face of increasing climate change. Effective solution to the existing problem is the diversification of energy sources and making investment in distributed, renewable...

High energy efficiency and special low-cost races make cogeneration an attractive energy production method. Large cogeneration units have proven economic for many applications. Here we report a case study on the profitability of a small, gas fired. 4 kW packaged cogenerator in a home or small...

Energy is crucial to sustainable development globally. This working paper provides a critical review of the politics of energy production and how it manifests in supply and access in post-independence Tanzania. Drawing on existing scholarly analyses and grey literature, it paints a picture of...

Global energy production has been on the rise for many years, and reliance on traditional sources of energy remains strong. The extraction and production of energy can serve as an important avenue of growth, particularly for developing economies. To undertake such capital intensive project...

To meet the increasing global demand for renewable energy such as wind energy, more and more new wind parks are installed worldwide. Finding a suitable location, however, requires a detailed and often costly analysis of the local wind conditions. Plain average wind speed maps cannot provide a...

Fossil fuels (petroleum, gas, coal) are leaders in global level in energy production. The use of these resources have consequences for the environment where they are. Kosovo is well known for energy resources (coal-lignite, 10-14 billion tone) which are found in central part of Kosovo Plain. The...
