Advanced energy technology for sustainable development. Part 3SSA KPI
This document discusses using fusion energy for sustainable development through biomass conversion. It proposes a system where fusion energy is used to provide heat for gasifying biomass into synthetic fuels like methane and diesel. Experiments show biomass can be over 95% converted to hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane gases using nickel catalysts at temperatures of 600-1000 degrees Celsius. A conceptual biomass reactor is presented that could process 6 million tons of biomass per year, consisting of 70% cellulose and 30% lignin, into synthetic fuels to serve as carbon-neutral transportation fuels. Fusion energy could provide the high heat needed for the gasification and synthesis processes.
Farm Power Northwest LLC creates renewable energy projects using anaerobic digesters to process dairy manure and food waste from local farms into biogas, which is used to generate electricity and heat.

Geothermal energy has been used commercially for over a century to generate electricity and provide direct heating. While only accounting for about 1% of installed electricity capacity currently, geothermal energy has significant potential for increased use, with estimates that 8% of global electricity needs could be met through geothermal. It produces electricity at a high capacity factor of 73% on average. Found near tectonic plate boundaries, high-temperature geothermal resources suitable for electricity generation could provide 35-140 GW globally based on current technology, or much higher through enhanced systems. In addition to power, geothermal's immense heat content could meet much of the world's heating/cooling demand through direct use and heat pumps.

Introduction to Social Media and Web 2.0 for those working in the Water and Wastewater industry. Presentation given on March 18th, 2009, in Springfield, Ill., at the IWEA-ISAWWA Annual Conference.
The solar energy market in India is worth USD XX million and accounts for less than x% of total installed renewable energy capacity. The government plans to increase the share of renewable energy to y% by 2032. Solar energy is harnessed through solar thermal plants or solar photovoltaic systems. Drivers of the solar energy market include positive government policies, new entrants in the polysilicon market, abundant solar radiation, and export demand. However, high costs, polysilicon price volatility, and reliance on imports present challenges. Trends show increased M&A activity and investments in the sector by both domestic and international players.

The document summarizes the key aspects of the German Renewable Energy Act of 2009, including:
1) It sets a goal of renewable energy sources accounting for 30% of energy production in Germany by 2020.
2) It establishes a system of feed-in tariffs where renewable energy producers are guaranteed prices for the electricity they provide to the grid over 20 years.
3) The costs of these tariffs are passed on to consumers through a renewable energy surcharge added to electricity bills.
India Wind Storage Opportunities Walawalkar FinalRahul Walawalkar
The document discusses opportunities for energy storage in India to address infrastructure challenges. It notes that India's GDP and electricity generation capacity are growing rapidly, with expected additions of 200-450 GW of new capacity in the next 5-10 years. There is also exponential growth in renewable energy like wind and solar due to policy incentives. However, this presents challenges in integrating intermittent renewables into the grid and maintaining stable grid frequency. Energy storage could help bridge supply-demand gaps, integrate renewable energy sources more smoothly by balancing fluctuations, and help comply with the tightened frequency standards in India's new grid code.

Will the Russian Bear Fall: How Protests and Rising Middle Class Affect Corru...Alexander Abolmasov
The document discusses how protests in Russia and the rise of the middle class are affecting corruption and private equity opportunities in the country. It notes that the middle class has tripled in size in the past 5 years and now wants more political influence. Large protests started in 2011 and have continued, putting political pressure on the government and correlating with reduced perceptions of corruption. The private equity industry in Russia has consistently outperformed benchmarks, and the economy remains an attractive long-term opportunity for strategic investors due to factors like GDP and population growth. Case studies are presented of successful investments in a car dealership and toy retailer that achieved high returns.
Russia presents opportunities for private equity investors, though concerns remain. Russian private equity has consistently outperformed other markets, with the economy recovering strongly from the financial crisis. While corruption and demographics pose challenges, surveys show Russia is seen as the #2 most attractive BRIC country for investment. Major deals continue to occur, and the private equity industry in Russia includes around 20 established firms with significant assets under management prior to the crisis. Understanding the opportunities requires overcoming stereotypes, but meeting with leading Russian private equity players can provide the information needed to evaluate investment prospects.
