Governments are increasingly adopting policies to promote green energy production through incentives like special tariffs and green certificates. By 2008, 43 countries had plans to source 5-30% of their electricity from renewable sources like hydro, solar and wind by 2011. While renewable energy production is growing, meeting global energy demand would require scaling production many times over given population and consumption trends. Improving energy efficiency and diversifying energy sources away from fossil fuels is necessary for a sustainable energy future.
The document discusses renewable energy and the transition to green power. It notes that while governments are increasingly supporting renewable energy through policies and investment, renewable sources still have disadvantages like higher costs compared to fossil fuels. Major projects highlighted include the Desertec project to harness solar power in the Sahara desert and supply electricity to Europe, and the Zero Emission Center in Hungary which aims to meet all its energy needs through solar and geothermal power. The status and growth of renewable energy investments and capacity globally are also summarized.

3 - The energy consumption capitation
4 - The future Katowices
Annex 1 - The various sources of energy consumption
Annex 2 - The spatial distribution of the various types of energy consumption
The document discusses renewable energy and future energy trends. It notes that while governments are promoting green energy through regulations and incentives, renewable energy still accounts for a small percentage of total energy production globally. It highlights several large renewable energy projects under development, such as the Desertec project to harness solar power in the Sahara desert and supply Europe. The document also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of renewable energy sources compared to fossil fuels.
This document discusses factors that will influence countries' efforts to reduce carbon emissions and adapt to climate change. It summarizes that decarbonization poses economic challenges but can also support competitiveness if accompanied by smart policy. Major countries like the EU, China, Russia and US each have their own economic considerations regarding balancing emissions reductions and competitiveness. The geopolitical impacts of reducing fossil fuel dependence are also discussed, as is the potential for climate change impacts to exacerbate instability in vulnerable regions.
This document contains 3 figures from a World Bank report on climate change. Figure 1 shows greenhouse gas emissions per capita by income level in 2005. Figure 2 shows how switching from SUVs to more fuel-efficient cars in the US could offset emissions from providing electricity to 1.6 billion people. Figure 3 shows that historically, high-income countries have contributed most to cumulative global emissions.
Russia and Europe: in Useless Search of Diversificationenergystate
The document discusses issues surrounding Europe's energy security and dependence on fossil fuels. It notes that easily accessible oil and gas reserves have been depleted, leaving more difficult reserves that have higher political risks. Economic crisis may temporarily lower oil prices but could exacerbate long-term energy shortages by reducing investment in new projects. Alternative energy sources still have significant limitations, and diversifying gas suppliers away from Russia poses major challenges. The document argues that fully replacing fossil fuels is not possible and Europe will continue to rely heavily on gas imports, including from Russia.
Peak Coal in China-A GIS and Political Economy Aspect to China's Coal PolicyHou-Ying Li
The document discusses China's heavy reliance on coal, which has powered its economic growth but also caused severe environmental problems. China currently consumes half of the world's coal and coal accounts for about two-thirds of its energy mix. In response to worsening air pollution, the government has recently implemented measures to reduce coal consumption, including capping it by 2020. This has raised hopes that China may reach "peak coal" sooner than expected, potentially improving the country's air quality and reducing its carbon emissions.
With the transformation of the global economy from its center in the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the energy-emission problematic has moved too. The Asian continent emits more CO2 than the others. But Asian governments are lukewarm about global coordination to halt climate change. They have large scale plans for the next 2-3 decades that will require lots of more energy and result in more greenhouse gases (GHG). Many Asian countries are take-off or catch-up economies, eager to close the gap to Western powers. They demand huge compensation for the costs to decarbonize from the promised Super Fund. However, they have own incentives to reduce GHG, like China, India and Indonesia.

Low Carbon China - Innovation Beyond Efficiencypolicysolutions
Radical innovation is essential to achieve green growth. This paper presents three case studies of business model innovation: fertilizer, lighting services and end-of-life treatment of tires. It makes the case that a culture of innovation is the basis for a low-carbon economy, which demands that we individually and collectively:
• Aspire to transformational, not incremental change;
• Adopt new behaviors and think differently.

This document provides an overview of the UK electricity sector, including its history, current structure, generation sources, transmission and distribution networks, and demand trends. Key points:
- The UK electricity sector was nationalized in the mid-20th century and privatized in the 1990s. Generation was historically dominated by coal but has transitioned to include natural gas, nuclear, and renewables.
- The current market has multiple actors (generators, suppliers, customers) and is regulated. Six major suppliers dominate the retail market.
- In 2014, natural gas and coal each accounted for 30% of generation, while nuclear and renewables each accounted for 19%. Renewable generation rose 21% year-over-year
Renewable energy, including wind and solar power, has experienced explosive growth in recent years with no sign of slowing down. Read our special report, How Renewables are Winning, to learn more about this rapid period of renewable energy advancement.
Kazakhstan has significant potential for renewable energy development due to its land area and climate. Main renewable energy projects discussed include wind, solar, hydro, and biofuel. For wind, Kazakhstan has potential for over 1.8 trillion kWh per year from winds over 6m/s. Solar potential is strong due to over 2,200-3,000 sunny hours per year. Hydro already accounts for 12% of generation capacity. Biofuel production could reach 300,000 tons per year. Foreign investment from China, Europe, and others is supporting development across renewable sectors. An MBA provides opportunities in business and project management, strategic planning, finance, and international relations within Kazakhstan's growing energy industry.
Turkmenistan has potential for solar power due to its dry desert climate, especially in western regions. It has the world's fourth largest proven natural gas reserves, which currently provide almost all its power. Renewable energy makes up only 0.18% of capacity due to reliance on subsidized natural gas. The government aims to increase renewable energy in policy documents but lacks a legislative framework to promote investment. UNDP is supporting renewable energy projects in Turkmenistan.
This document discusses eradicating the coal industry. It argues that while coal fueled industrialization and economic growth, it has significant environmental costs like carbon dioxide emissions contributing to climate change. The document outlines challenges to eradicating coal like political influence of the coal industry but provides recommendations. It suggests policymakers implement emissions limits and renewable incentives, businesses transition to renewable energy and lobby for change, and citizens vote for stricter policies and support non-coal companies. Overall the document makes the case that coal must be phased out to address health, environmental and economic impacts of its continued large-scale use.

This document discusses green energy and decoupling economic growth from energy consumption and carbon emissions. It finds that historically economic growth has correlated with increased energy use. Decoupling aims to continue economic development without a corresponding rise in environmental impact. The limits and challenges of decarbonization include the high costs of technologies like carbon capture and storage, nuclear power, and ensuring a just transition that does not negatively impact industries and workers. Overall decoupling economic growth from energy use and decarbonizing will be difficult but necessary for environmental sustainability.

Modern Trends in Energy Policy of Persian Gulf Countriesijtsrd
Article analysis the modern processes of energy policy of Persian Gulf countries and main issues of providing energy policy of countries in Persian Gulf were examined. Besides, some recommendations and conclusions are given due to develop bilateral and multilateral cooperation with Gulf countries. As well as, the economic viability of the renewable energy sector is becoming increasingly apparent to Gulf governments, given the potential for high intensity solar heat, geothermal and wind resources. However, such renewable resources are subject to supply fluctuations, and it is therefore recognized that they are best used in combination during periods of peak demand, while another alternative – nuclear power – can provide a continuous and mature source of electricity throughout the year.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

2. Renewable energy sources: rhetoric and reality 1. Земля как объект антропогенной энергетики The change to green power is often seen as the main way of improving the planet’s environment. Governments of developed countries have adopted regulatory programmes to develop green power production and are spending billion dollar budgets to implement these policies. Special tariffs and “green certificate” programmes are being introduced to attract investment in the industry which enable suppliers and consumers of such energy to enjoy incentives and additional profits. Green architecture is a way to improve efficiency in power consumption. 121069, Moscow, Stolovy pereulok, building 4, office 2, Phone: +7 (495) 739-54-35, Fax: +7 (495) 690-24-98; Web site:www.globalenergyprize.org; e-mail: info@ge-prize.org
3. Renewable energy sources: rhetoric and reality 1. Земля как объект антропогенной энергетики By the beginning of 2008, 43 countries had plans to change to renewable sources of energy. Countries eager to cast off their dependence on fossil fuels (oil, gas and coal) plan to produce 5-30% of their electricity using hydro, solar, wind and biomass technologies by 2011. Austria is the most ambitious in this respect (by 2010, it plans to produce 78% of its power using renewable energy), followed by Sweden (60%) andLatvia (49,3%). 121069, Moscow, Stolovy pereulok, building 4, office 2, Phone: +7 (495) 739-54-35, Fax: +7 (495) 690-24-98;Web site:www.globalenergyprize.org; e-mail: info@ge-prize.org

6. Comparative scale of anthropogenicenergy production The average muscular capacity of a person is100…150 W/person Taking into account various energy sources of power available to an individual has increased 30 times (3 kW/person), and in developed countries – hundreds of times Solar energy on the Earth’s surface(excluding atmosphere is 1.4 kW/m2) – 173,000 TW (173,1012 kW) or on average 25 mW/person Energy demands by the Earth’s population amounts to ≈ 1/10,000of the solar energy reaching Earth. Furthermore, energy demands have reached nearly 50% of the energy created by photosynthesis (≈ 40 TW), providing for life on Earth which is beginning to be negatively reflected in the environment Growth of world population Billions of inhabitants Billions of inhabitants Developing countries Developed countries Fuel wood and wastes Coal Oil Gas Hydropower Nuclear power Renewable energy First wave in development of world power industry 121069, Moscow, Stolovy pereulok, building 4, office 2, Phone: +7 (495) 739-54-35, Fax: +7 (495) 690-24-98; Web site: www.globalenergyprize.org; e-mail: info@ge-prize.org

8. Conclusion 1 Given the current levels of energy consumption worldwide and in individual countries, we cannot and must not aim to achieve the current level of energy consumption for the more resource rich countries. Given the global population now numbers approximately 7 billion people, an attempt to increase the scale of energy requirements for a single person to the average level of the “Golden Billion” would require an increase of energy production to at least three times greater than the production of primary resources, which given the stabilization of fossil fuel extraction and environmental limitations is clearly already impossible and irrational! It is therefore necessary to direct our resources to improving energy efficiency anddiversifysources of energy! 121069, Moscow, Stolovy pereulok, building 4, office 2, Phone: +7 (495) 739-54-35, Fax: +7 (495) 690-24-98; Web site: www.globalenergyprize.org; e-mail: info@ge-prize.org

24. Summary Renewable energy is quite promising, innovative and progressively cost effective, still, as a rule, it requires support from the state or regional administration. By 2020, the contribution of renewable energy sources to power generation in Russia shall grow from 1% to 4.5%. Renewable energy application processes are diverse, there are no typical solutions and standard evaluation techniques so far, therefore qualified experts should be involved both for substantiating the design and for system development. Demonstration facilities erected in regions of Russia would be extremely desirable. Development of autonomous consumer power- and heat supply systems in remote areas (2/3 of country territory with 20 mln inhabitants) is a major issue for Russia. In the network-based Russian power industry, resort to renewable energy sources is promising with the state support, first and foremost, for power-hungry and remote areas. 121069, Moscow, Stolovy pereulok, building 4, office 2, Phone: +7 (495) 739-54-35, Fax: +7 (495) 690-24-98; Web site: www.globalenergyprize.org; e-mail: info@ge-prize.org
