This paper presents a novel method to estimate the future biomass energy potential in countries with domestic markets unable to influence international markets. As a study case, the biomass energy potential in Colombia is estimated for the period 2010–2030.

Copper is, due to its divergent properties, a popular metal. Nevertheless, from the ecological point of view, processing of copper has some drawbacks. For example, copper ores contain elements, like sulphur, which could be damaging. Recently, global copper-demand increased, mainly due to rising...

Eco-efficiency links economic efficiency with environmental efficiency. The main purpose of the concept is to identify and implement activities to enable production that is both economically more efficient and cleaner. This means that parameters with a high indicative value have to be used....

This paper presents a methodology to estimate the biomass energy potential and its associated uncertainty at a country level when quality and availability of data are limited. The current biomass energy potential in Colombia is assessed following the proposed methodology and results are compared...

The paper attempts to analyse the environmental and economic impacts of the Multi-fuel Solar Hybrid Power Plant concept called SolComBio. An environmental and economic assessment is performed to investigate whether the concept could be suitable for energy source in remote areas compared with the...

Das Ziel der Arbeit ist eine Diskussion der Konsequenzen der Transformation auf die Wohlfahrt der zum Zeitpunkt der Systemumwandlung und in den nachfolgenden Perioden lebenden Haushalte. Darauf aufbauend erfolgt eine Analyse der Folgewirkungen von Kompensationszahlungen an die Verlierer der...
