Hosszú ideig a gáz számított annak az energiahordozónak, amelyre Magyarország különösen érzékeny volt az energiaellátás-biztonság szempontjából. Ennek következtében a gázdiverzifikáció kulcsfontosságú kérdés lett. Az új atomerőműblokkok (Paks II.) megépítéséről...

Despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of thermal baths in existence, knowledge about the occurrence of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in untreated thermal wastewater is very limited. Because used thermal water is typically legally discharged into surface waters without any...

We investigate the impact and the possible consequences of the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. We model the European gas network as a cooperative game between regions as players over the pipeline network. Our model offers several novelties compared to earlier cooperative studies....

Hungary is one of the European Union’s most dynamically developing countries in Central-Eastern Europe with a high income and increasing level of environmental degradation. The present study explores the dynamic relationship between economic growth, electricity consumption, carbon emissions...

As Earth’s fossil energy resources are limited, there is a growing need for renewable resources such as biodiesel. That is the reason why the social, economic and environmental impacts of biofuels became an important research topic in the last decade. Depleted stocks of crude oil and the...

The Hungarian Government intends to increase the photovoltaic capacities installed in the country sixfold between 2020 and 2030. New investment is encouraged by a floating premium support system in which producers sell electricity on the market and can thus have a direct impact on prices. This...

Sustainable energy policy and tackling climate-change-related issues require exploring energy consumption patterns. This paper proposes an integrative methodological approach called grounded survey for understanding behavioral factors behind household energy consumption. The study aims to...

In this article renewable energy support allocation through different types of auctions are assessed. The applied methodological framework is auction theory, based on the rules governing the German photovoltaic (PV) Feed-in Premium (FIP) auctions. The work focuses on bidding strategies based on...

Tanulmányunkban a Visegrádi Négyek 10 jelentős városát hasonlítjuk össze keresztmetszeti adatok (2015. év) alapján. Egy három (társadalmi, környezeti és gazdasági reziliencia) komponensből álló reziliencia index kialakításával mérjük ezen városok rugalmas...

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an increasingly widespread method for the environmental accounting of products and services. Since almost all production processes use grid electricity, the environmental impact of power generation plays a key role in LCA. There is high potential both on a local...
