The Campania Region has one of the highest renewable energy potentials in Italy. Despite this high potential, the lack of an integrated energy strategy has allowed for deregulated exploitation of the resources of the territory, e.g. surplus of wind energy occurs in Campania due to the large wind...

Own- and cross-price production elasticities, estimated in four major agricultural states (California, Iowa, Texas, and Florida), measure the sensitivity to price changes of as many as 25 individual crop and livestock output supplies and six input demands. While most responses were highly...

Towards low-carbon energy systems, there are countries with ongoing plans for expanding their nuclear power capacity, and simultaneously advancing the role of variable renewable energy sources (RES), namely wind and solar energy. This crossroads of capital-intensive, baseload power production...

This study proposes a social-environmental economic model, based on Regional Sequential Interindustry Model (SIM) integrated with geoprocessing data, in order to identify economic, pollution and public health impacts in state and municipality levels for energy planning analysis. Integrating I-O...

Energy is the input in which modern society depends the most for life standard maintenance besides economic and social activities, however, it is also one of the major sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, especially the electric sector, due to a world energy matrix concentrated on oil...

With its rapidly increasing power demand of 16% p.a since 1990s along with its limited supply power capacity, how sustainable is Vietnam's electricity development? What are the major factors explaining its performance relative to other Asian countries? To answer these questions, this paper...

The electrical sector is responsible for a considerable amount of greenhouse gases emissions worldwide, but also the one in which modern society depends the most for maintenance of quality of life as well as the functioning of economic and social activities. Invariably, even CO2 emission-free...

Energy planning has become one of the most powerful tools for urban planning even if several constraints, (<i>i.e.</i>, aesthetic, archaeological, landscape) and technological (low diffusion of Renewable Energy Sources, RES) reduce its spreading. An efficient and sustainable urban planning process...
