Oxy-fuel combustion is one of the clean coal combustion technologies for CO2 capture. However, post-combustion capture is studied as a challenged technology against oxy-fuel combustion. This paper presented the life cycle assessment (LCA) of these two CO2 capture technologies used in the 300 MW...

Pakistan has been in severe energy crises since the year 2004. Major reasons behind energy crises are lack of use of modeling tools in power planning and policy development, dependence on imported energy sources and poor governance. In this paper, electricity demand forecasting for Pakistan up...

As one of the most important economic zones in China, the energy demand of East China accounts for approximately 20% of the whole country. However, with limited reserves of fossil energy, the energy supply in East China mainly depends on imports. The energy demand in East China plays an...

Data centres (DCs) are large electricity consumers, estimated to account for around 1% of worldwide electricity usage. They release excess heat (EH) during the operation, which can be recovered in district heating (DH) networks. DCs are expected to satisfy the rising demand for digital services....

The empirical literature examines the effect of exchange rate on energy demand. However, the existing literature fails to investigate the effect during different states of energy demand, that is, when energy demand is relatively high and when it is quite low. We extend the prior literature by...

This article aims to study the regional development of renewable energies (RE) in France over the period 1990-2015. As a first step, Principal Component Analysis was used on the collected data, which led to a classification of RE's development into four sub-periods. The first two sub-periods...

Long-term energy demand forecasting is crucial for any country, in particular for developing countries with rapid developments of energy needs. This study focuses on Ethiopia, a country with a highly increasing energy demand resulting mainly from the currently low share of electricity access,...

Electrical sustainability is a foundation for urbanization and industrialization. Over the past three decades, Pakistan has been convulsed by electricity shortages that at times have reached over 10-15% of total demand; Therefore, we initiated an effort to explore and understand recurrent energy...

The propagation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the associated measures taken by many countries to slow down the spread of the disease, has significantly affected all aspects of people's lives, including the global energy sector. This study aims to investigate the impact of the pandemic on the...

Here we present a method to combine half-hourly publicly available electrical generation and interconnector operational data for Great Britain to create a timeseries that approximates its electrical demand. We term the calculated electrical demand ‘ESPENI’ that is an acronym for Elexon Sum...
