The Canadian Economic and Emissions Model for Agriculture (CEEMA) is considered a potentially useful tool for investigating the impacts of biofuel feedstock production on rural land use. Fossil CO2 emissions from fieldwork in the CEEMA model were upgraded with the Fossil Fuel Farm Fieldwork...

In the need to find efficient manageable and available energy, economically and environmentally, there is a clear shift to renewable energy sources, but currently it does not seem to provide the final solution. Cogeneration, in all its variations, has to be a part of the solution to this...

Water and energy are both important resources that are inextricably and reciprocally linked. Indeed, energy production requires a lot of water (e.g., cooling water at power plants), and numerous studies have investigated the water footprint of energy production (WFEP). However, energy is...

This paper first provides an overview of the context of renewable energy development in China, including the country's recent renewable energy legislation. Further, it summarizes the current status of renewable energy development and the role it plays in the national energy supply. Next it...

In this work, the grid design and optimal allocation of wind and biomass resources for renewable electricity supply chains under uncertainties is studied. Due to wind intermittency, generation of wind electricity is not uniform and cannot be counted on to be readily available to meet the demand....

Accidents in the energy sector have been identified as one of the main contributors to man-made disasters. The present work focuses on the assessment of severe accident risks relating to fossil energy chains. Evaluations were based on the highly comprehensive Energy-related Severe Accident...

Statistical models can only be as good as the data put into them. Data about energy consumption continues to grow, particularly its non-technical aspects, but these variables are often interpreted differently among disciplines, datasets, and contexts. Selecting key variables and interactions is...

The objective of this work is to investigate the energy saving potential of HTHP&DW (high temperature heat pump coupling to desiccant wheel) system by means of comparative analysis based on reference technologies. A complete numerical model of HTHP&DW system is established and the iterative...
