Renewable energy technologies are expected to take the leading role in the forthcoming energy generation portfolio in order to achieve sustainable energy generation. The major constraints for increasing penetration of renewable energy sources is their availability and intermittency, which can be...

Appropriately implemented bioenergy could be a renewable source of energy contributing to fossil fuels substitution and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation in Mexico. This work explores eleven bioenergy options with environmentally sustainable biomass production potential. Mature and widely used...

The European energy system is characterized by a high dependence on fossil fuels and energy importation. Renewable energies are a solution to this issue. To change the energy supply, it is necessary to analyze the energy system. Thus, decision-makers face a multi-attribute decision problem. Many...

Despite significant financial support from the UK government to stimulate adoption of microgeneration energy technologies, consumer uptake remains low. This paper analyses current understanding of motivations and barriers that affect microgeneration adoption with the aim of identifying...

Due to increasing fossil fuel prices and their limited availability, the global energy focus is shifting towards renewable resources. However, the uptake of these resources by Pakistan is rather slow. Various factors such as political interference, social unacceptability and economic barriers...

The paper focuses on the impact of the electricity market regulation on generating technologies, including renewable in Lithuanian and Poland. The paper aims to identify how the regulatory and non-regulatory factors have influenced investors′ choices. A country case studies approach were...

The need to develop innovative technologies that could replace fossil fuels and, consequently contribute to the reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases is now clear. In this circumstance, algal biofuels are generating considerable interest around the world. The purpose of this study is to...

The purpose of this survey is about to analyze the heating coefficient of performance (COP) of geothermal district heating systems. Actual system data are taken from the Salihli GDHS, Turkey. The collected data are quantified and illustrated in tables, particularly for a reference temperature...

Concerns over climate change, fossil fuel depletion, and increase in natural gas prices have sparked a great interest in various forms of renewable energy and its imposition, particularly in developing countries. Biomass is utilized as number one energy resource for developing countries,...

The water sector in Algeria has to date paid scant attention to the issue of climate change and is often unaware of its impact on future water resources. Studies will be needed to assess the impact and cost of climate change and draw up adaptation solutions.
