Russia's energy in the first half of the 21st century: forecasts, trends, problems
The paper deals with a quantitative estimation of Russia's energy development in the first half of the 21st century. It shows the potential structural changes in the fuel and energy complex (FEC) of the country and the resulting dynamics of greenhouse gas emission growth.Keywords: fuel and energy complex, energy resources, problems, greenhouse gas emission, ...

Urban mining – the hunt for hidden treasures
Thanks in no small measure to legislative developments, the European Union as a whole is now recycling more than a third of its household refuse, although the performances of individual nations are decidedly mixed. This article focuses on the recent steps taken in Germany - the EU’s most populous nation - to boost the recycling of domestic refuse and post-consumer goods. The country’s ...

Elevated major ion concentrations inhibit larval mayfly growth and development
Anthropogenic disturbances, including those from developing energy resources, can alter stream chemistry significantly by elevating total dissolved solids. Field studies have indicated that mayflies (Order Ephemeroptera) are particularly sensitive to high total dissolved solids. In the present study, the authors measured 20‐d growth and survivorship of larval Neocloeon triangulifer exposed to ...

The energy conservation potential in heat supply systems for Russian cities and towns: ways of realisation
Energy conservation policy plays an important role in energy resource deficit situations. The potential for conservation in heat supply systems has great significance for Russia and other countries in the Northern latitudes. This potential saving of power resources in Russian cities is presented in this paper. Modern Russian and foreign experiences of energy conservation in municipal power ...

Analysis of the Chinese energy system: implications for future CO2 emissions
This paper analyses China's energy resources and their development, energy consumption patterns, historical CO2 emissions, and environmental challenges for the Chinese energy system in the CO2 context. It is shown that China is bound to rely mainly on coal to fuel the development of her economy and thereby improve the Chinese standard of living in the foreseeable future. Given this prospect and ...

Chapter 1: Issues of global environmental economics
The focus of this first chapter is to address and analyse some specific and unifying issues at the interface of energy use and environmental management from a global perspective. These issues will be examined at various instances throughout the book. We start from the fact that carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere affects the radiation balance of the Earth, and that increasing CO2 ...

Recovering and extending classical and Marshallian foundations for post-Keynesian environmental economics
Post-Keynesians emphasise the critical roles of institutional structures and production in economic life. An assumption of the plasticity of production has led to the neglect of the underlying physical and ecological requirements of production and the dependence of human economies on nature's resources and production. The task of developing an environmental economics cannot be separated from the ...

Overcoming the natural resource constraints through dedicated R&D efforts: contrasting the non-renewable and the renewable resource economies
There exist specific factor scarcities if, and only if, the inputs of the production process are not perfect substitutes. Under the extreme assumption of strict factor complementarity between labour and resources in the production of some aggregate consumption good, and assuming that the technical coefficient of the resource input can be improved through a dedicated research effort, we compare ...

Comparison of multi-enzyme and thermophilic bacteria on the hydrolysis of mariculture organic waste (MOW)
Mariculture organic waste (MOW) is rich in organic matter, which is a potential energy resource for anaerobic digestion. In order to enhance the anaerobic fermentation, the MOW was hydrolyzed by multi-enzyme and thermophilic bacteria. It was advantageous for soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) release at MOW concentrations of 6 and 10 g/L with multi-enzyme and thermophilic bacteria ...

Low–dimensional materials for thermoelectric applications
In recent years, increasing awareness and concern for energy resources and the environment have stimulated significant advances in materials and technologies for energy conversion. By using a principle called the Seebeck effect thermoelectric modules can convert heat energy to electricity. The efficiency of a thermoelectric material is given by the figure of merit ZT = (S2σ/κ) T, where S is the ...

Hurricane Havoc Has Hit Regulators, Too
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have inspired environmental havoc and strained the capacity of every government agency impacted by these natural disasters. According to some, this is only the beginning. At the American Bar Association Section of Environment, Energy and Resources 2005 Fall Meeting in Nashville on Sept. 22, Dean James Gustave Speth, dean and professor of environmental policy and ...

The iron fist vs. the invisible hand: interventionism and libertarianism in environmental economic discourses
Drawing from a broad range of sources, we define and discuss the two primary ways of contemplating issues related to environmental economics, namely, interventionism and libertarianism. We then interpret a cellular automaton as a model that allows for either approach, as well as anarchy, and show that interventionism exponentially reduces the number of possibilities while libertarianism, even ...

Benefits of and Challenges to Energy Access in the 21st Century: Fuel Supply and Infrastructure - Testimony of Michael Obeiter before the US House of Representatives Committee on Energy & Commerce, Subcommittee on Energy & Power
The U.S. currently finds itself in the midst of an energy boom, driven by technological advances in the extraction of oil and natural gas. Our domestic energy resources, and the self-sufficiency they can bring, are the envy of much of the world. Yet we must also weigh the consequences of our actions on the natural environment; the decisions we are making will have long-lasting impacts on air ...

Towards sustainable society: from materialism to post-materialism
Finnish university students (n = 198) assessed their attitudes and achievements in implementation of sustainable development in their daily life. The data were collected using a theory-grounded semantic differential technique. A measurement instrument was created by balancing 36 variables of environmental, economic and social sustainability. As a result of logistic regression analysis ...

Optimisation of the coupling of nuclear reactors and desalination systems in Morocco
This study has been undertaken in the framework of IAEA CRP on 'Optimisation of the Coupling of Nuclear Reactors and Desalination Systems in Morocco'. Two sites have been selected to host nuclear desalination plants, and different combinations with nuclear reactors have been investigated. Other combinations with fossil fuel plants have been examined for comparison. The results obtained showed the ...

Introduction: Some challenges for adaptive and innovative systems in the next future
One of the most efficient ways to investigate new directions and to find innovative solutions to unsolved problems is certainly to encourage the crossover between several research domains, including various business, economics and logistical, as well as scientific and technological disciplines comprising energy and resource industries, environmental and ecological systems, computer and automation ...

Prospects of nuclear desalination in Morocco
In the last few years, Morocco has faced a continuous series of dry seasons, which has put a great stress on its limited water resources. Hence, for some time now Morocco has been considering desalinating seawater to supply fresh water to some areas. In the early 1980's, due to limited energy resources, Morocco was obliged to consider other alternatives to meet its energy demands. A feasibility ...
