Yunnan is one of the less developed provinces in China, but has abundant energy resources, and is an ideal destination … for tourists around the world due to its perfect climate and unique sightseeing resorts. However, energy consumption in … rural households relies mainly on straw (12.15%), firewood (41%), and coal (38.5%). This pattern of energy consumption has …

the US$316 million World Bank/Global Environment Facility-supported Renewable Energy Development Project (REDP). REDP has … improvement and market development support components to strengthen the country’s renewable energy industry. While the World Bank …

Limited success in promoting improved energy sources, such as biogas, in rural areas of developing countries has been … partly blamed on insufficient understanding of household energy use patterns. In this study, we assess the costs of energy … generation from major energy sources (firewood and dung) in rural Ethiopia, as well as the economic potential of biogas as an …

The objective of the study is to investigate the short-run and long-run causality relationship among energy … depletion in Nepal and between energy production & poverty in Pakistan. For the other three countries, the Granger causality … runs from energy production to poverty in Bangladesh and India, and from poverty to energy production in Sri Lanka. The …

evaluation through energy and exergy efficiencies. The solar pond system is filled with magnesium chloride containing water to … the temperature sensors. The energy and exergy content distributions are determined for the heat storage zone and the non …-convective zone in August. The energy and exergy efficiencies of the solar pond are defined as a function of solar radiation and …

far as the use of energy in buildings is concerned; i.e. they are going to repeat the same mistakes, not preparing … themselves for a more concerned energy use. Present situation and trens in heating and cooling are discussed, as well as the use … of solar energy for hot water production. Also the relationship between the mediterranean climatic context and the …

The use of renewable forms of energy is important throughout the world, not just in countries where there are concerns … over the availability of fossil fuels. In order to develop and promote suitable energy policies for the future it is …, with a huge environmental impact from construction and also from potential future energy demands. The aim of this paper is …
