CCXG Oct 2019 Reducing GHG emissions in the power sector - Brent Wanner
Energy efficiency and renewables contribute the most to reducing CO2 emissions, providing 42% and 34% respectively of emissions reductions needed by 2040 according to the Sustainable Development Scenario. However, energy intensity improvements have slowed in recent years due to weaker energy efficiency policies and growth in energy-intensive economies, a trend that must be reversed. Additionally, investment in renewable, nuclear and grid technologies needs to accelerate to achieve long-term emissions reduction goals, as 2018 investment was one-third below required levels. Coal power plants currently produce one-third of CO2 emissions, with half being less than 15 years old, so policies are urgently needed to support technologies like CCUS to transition existing coal infrastructure to sustainable pathways.
Electrifying Surface Transport: Evaluating the Theoretical use of Scotland's ...
This document summarizes a dissertation on electrifying surface transport in Oahu, Hawaii. It presents three scenarios for electric vehicle adoption rates from 2013 to 2045 and calculates the resulting reductions in fossil fuel emissions and potential increases in grid emissions. The key findings are that a high adoption scenario of 54% electric vehicles by 2045 could reduce emissions by 28 megatons of CO2, but this high rate is necessary to fully transition to electric vehicles and realize savings. However, increased electricity demand from electric vehicles risks negating these savings if the grid remains dependent on fossil fuels. Fully coupling electric vehicles with renewable energy generation, as aimed for in Hawaii's 100% renewable energy goal, is needed to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions from

WWF Japan's Energy Vision: Energy Scenario Proposal for Decarbonizing Japan
1. WWF Japan proposes an energy scenario to decarbonize Japan's economy by 2050 through massive energy savings, phasing out nuclear power, and increasing renewable energy supply.
2. Their analysis shows that energy demand can be halved by 2050 through energy efficiency measures. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind and biomass are sufficient to meet Japan's energy needs and the costs will decrease over time as the transition is made.
3. While the power grid will require investments to accommodate more renewable energy, studies show it can adapt if changes are made early. WWF Japan calls for ambitious targets and a shift to more renewable-centric thinking to achieve a 100% renewable energy system.
Boston University Talk 021110
The document discusses climate change and the challenges of reducing carbon emissions to address it. It notes that global carbon emissions would need to be reduced by 90% by 2050 to limit warming while the population is projected to reach 9 billion. This will require living on less than one tonne of carbon emissions per person annually. It also discusses various low-carbon energy technologies and the need to lower their costs to meet emission targets. The document questions if current policy and energy organization structures are adequate to meet this massive climate challenge.

Transition to Sustainable Buildings: Clean Energy Solutions Center Book Launch
Transition to Sustainable Buildings: Clean Energy Solutions Center Book Launch International Energy Agency
This document summarizes key findings from the IEA's book on transitioning to sustainable buildings. It finds that buildings are the largest end-use sector for energy and that demand is projected to rise 50% by 2050 without new policies. The book outlines a scenario where stringent new building codes and retrofitting of existing buildings could reduce energy demand in buildings by 25% by 2050 through commercially available technologies. This would realize energy savings of 40 exajoules and emissions reductions of 9 gigatons of CO2 per year primarily through fuel switching and efficiency improvements in space and water heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances. The recommendations focus on policies like building codes, standards for equipment and appliances, and technologies such as heat pumpsFacts greek off_grid_islands_sep2014

Presented at 'UK Energy System in Transition: Technology, Infrastructure and Investment'; an event organised by the UK Energy Research Centre, ClimateXChange and the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation, on Tuesday 1 April 2014, 14.00-17.00, in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.Rhone Resch | Industry Perspective on a National Performance Based Incentive
The US solar energy industry saw significant growth in 2008, with the PV market growing 71% overall and residential installations growing 32%. Domestic PV cell manufacturing also expanded substantially. Many states have implemented renewable portfolio standards that require a certain amount of solar capacity, driving further growth over the next few years. Recent legislation including an 8-year extension of solar tax credits and stimulus funding of over $19 billion for various solar programs will also support continued expansion of the US solar industry. There is debate around implementing a national feed-in tariff policy in the US.
Westwave
This document discusses ESB WestWave Project, a 5 MW wave energy array project off the coast of Ireland that is being developed by ESB Innovation. The project aims to demonstrate the technical readiness of wave energy technology, develop supply chain capabilities, gain public acceptance, and prove opportunities for wave energy in Ireland. It provides background on ESB, Ireland's renewable energy targets, wave and tidal energy resources, and the roles that Ireland can play in the development of the global ocean energy sector through areas like concept development, ocean testing, and market deployment of first arrays. The WestWave project is an important part of Ireland's ocean energy development roadmap and aims to have the first wave array operational in Ireland by 2018.
World Wind Energy Association
Dr. Anil Kane presented on the contribution of wind energy to the global energy mix. He discussed how wind energy has grown at 23.6% annually over the last 10 years, faster than any other industry. It now provides over 1 million jobs worldwide and had a $40 billion turnover in 2010. Dr. Kane projected that total installed wind capacity will reach over 1,400 GW by 2020, up from under 200 GW in 1997. Key drivers of wind energy's growth are concerns about climate change, energy security, increasing electricity demand, and its cost competitiveness due to zero fuel costs.

Bringing new energy to Britain: Policies, pathways and challenges - Steven Fr...UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC)
This document summarizes the key challenges facing Britain's transition to lower carbon energy sources. It outlines that electricity demand has fallen while renewables like wind and solar have grown. Policies like contracts-for-difference support renewable expansion but challenges remain around buildings, industry, and balancing decarbonization, security, and affordability. The levy control framework sets spending limits to manage costs but significant barriers persist in deploying technologies like solid wall insulation at scale.Mark Walkington on the Ministry of Economic Development's energy projections
The document discusses New Zealand's energy outlook according to a reference scenario and two alternative scenarios. The reference scenario assumes current policies and technologies and predicts that renewable energy such as biomass will see the greatest growth. Transport energy demand is dominated by road transport and heavy fleet demand increases more than light fleet. The alternative scenarios consider higher carbon prices and more electric vehicles, biofuels, and fuel switching to biomass, with the goal of reducing reliance on imported oil and lowering emissions.

Manufacturing past, present and future
The document summarizes trends in the UK manufacturing sector from 2000-2012. It describes how manufacturing output fell sharply during the recession in 2008-2009 due to declining domestic and foreign demand. Export orders recovered in 2010 as sterling depreciated, and manufacturers replenished inventories. While output grew strongly in the recovery, rising costs led to inflation. Sentiment deteriorated in late 2011 due to concerns about political and economic conditions abroad. The outlook is that manufacturing output will continue rising modestly, supported by export orders, but long-term challenges remain around higher commodity prices.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Editor's Notes
- For information on applying this template to an existing presentations, refer to the notes on slide 2 of this presentation. The Input area of the Beam can be customised to reflect the content of the presentation. The Input area is an AutoShape with a picture fill. To change this, ensure you have the image you wish to use (ideally a .jpg or a .png file) in an accessible folder. The image should have a ratio of 1:1 to ensure it does not appear distorted. It is not possible to reposition the image within the Input area. Acceptable images for importing into the Input area of the Beam are the three approved graphics (lines), and black and white photography or illustrations which follow the principles laid out on The Branding Zone. Colour images should never be imported into this area. Please be aware that replacing the Input area with high resolution graphics will significantly increase the file size. Contact your local DDC for assistance with updating the Beam. Customise the Input area of the Beam as described below. Click on the View tab from the menu bar and select Master>Slide Master Right-click on the Input graphic and select Format AutoShape From the Fill menu, under the Colour and Lines tab, click on the drop-down arrow next to Colour and select the Fill Effects menu From the Picture tab, click on Select Picture .

Otherwise, repeat the process until you are happy with your selected image To exit from Master View, click on View>Normal .
