Quick ViewEnergy is one of the main determinants of economic growth, but the high dependence of electricity production by fossil fuels could be a brake for the development of countries which do not have a sufficient level of richness and/or which possess a high level of environmental sensitivity. Countries tend to contrast these limits to growth…
-
Quick ViewThe supply of sufficient quantities of energy with minimal environmental impact are among the key challenges of the macroenergy world. The search for fossil energy substitutes that meet the energy requirements of sustainability directs the development to renewable energies. In this way, a waste-to-energy (WtE) approach has been considered as potentially attractive alternatives for the…
-
Quick ViewEuropean efforts to fight climate change, to improve the security of energy supply, and to drive innovation and competitiveness in the next decade will make distributed generation (DG) develop and grow considerably. DG growth is an integral component of a new vision of an effective and highly responsive “European Smart Grid” in which the actions…
