Abstract
Concern over the global energy system, whether driven by climate change, national security, or fears of shortage, is being discussed widely and in every arena but with a bias toward energy supply options. While demand reduction is often mentioned in passing, it is rarely a priority for implementation, whether through policy or through the search for innovation. This paper aims to draw attention to the opportunity for major reduction in energy demand, by presenting an analysis of how much of current global energy demand could be avoided. Previous work led to a “map” of global energy use that traces the flow of energy from primary sources (fuels or renewable sources), through fuel refinery, electricity generation, and end-use conversion devices, to passive systems and the delivery of final energy services (transport, illumination, and sustenance). The key passive systems are presented here and analyzed through simple engineering models with scalar equations using data based on current global practice. Physically credible options for change to key design parameters are identified and used to predict the energy savings possible for each system. The result demonstrates that 73% of global energy use could be saved by practically achievable design changes to passive systems. This reduction could be increased by further efficiency improvements in conversion devices. A list of the solutions required to achieve these savings is provided.

In several developing countries, the electricity crisis obstructs both socioeconomic and technological sustainable evolution. Also, it leads to reducing job availability due to shut down several industries or relocate to neighbouring countries to such an issue. A Najaf City is an important holy and tourist city in the middle of Iraq country. Indeed, waste management in An Najaf City needs to be reconsidered to be used as an energy source. In this article, we investigated and listed the waste quantity which produced recently (one year) respect to waste types and types of content. Data collected from the waste products for one year and are used as a key factor to study the feasibility of generating electrical energy from collected MSWs. The proposed model was simulated and tested respect to cost analysis factor of the suggested power plant by Homer pro simulation software. Results were very encouraging and competitive to the current energy production cost based on the production cost of the Kwh prospective among the conventional methods in Iraq.

Burden of proof: A comprehensive review of the feasibility of 100% renewable-...www.thiiink.com
An effective response to climate change demands rapid replacement of fossil carbon energy sources. This must occur concurrently with an ongoing rise in total global energy consumption. While many modelled scenarios have been published claiming to show that a 100% renewable electricity system is achievable, there is no empirical or historical evidence that demonstrates that such systems are in fact feasible. Of the studies published to date, 24 have forecast regional, national or global energy requirements at sufficient detail to be considered potentially credible. We critically review these studies using four novel feasibility criteria for reliable electricity systems needed to meet electricity demand this century. These criteria are: (1) consistency with mainstream energy-demand forecasts; (2) simulating supply to meet demand reliably at hourly, half-hourly, and five-minute timescales, with resilience to extreme climate events; (3) identifying necessary transmission and distribution requirements; and (4) maintaining the provision of essential ancillary services. Evaluated against these objective criteria, none of the 24 studies provides convincing evidence that these basic feasibility criteria can be met. Of a maximum possible unweighted feasibility score of seven, the highest score for any one study was four. Eight of 24 scenarios (33%) provided no form of system simulation. Twelve (50%) relied on unrealistic forecasts of energy demand. While four studies (17%; all regional) articulated transmission requirements, only two scenarios—drawn from the same study—addressed ancillary-service requirements. In addition to feasibility issues, the heavy reliance on exploitation of hydroelectricity and biomass raises concerns regarding environ- mental sustainability and social justice. Strong empirical evidence of feasibility must be demonstrated for any study that attempts to construct or model a low-carbon energy future based on any combination of low-carbon technology. On the basis of this review, efforts to date seem to have substantially underestimated the challenge and delayed the identification and implementation of effective and comprehensive decarbonization pathways.

Using agricultural land for utility-scale photovoltaic solar electricity gene...Turlough Guerin GAICD FGIA
The renewable energy sector in Australia is experiencing unprecedented levels of investment, and this presents a unique opportunity for the national economy and for communities in regional Australia. Environmental impacts are minimal and community benefits can accrue from both large- and utility-scale solar projects, such as jobs and regional investment, but there are questions for the agricultural sector to consider as these opportunities open up: To what extent is the concern of energy generation versus food production warranted? Should large-scale solar power stations even be built on agricultural land? The author uses a case study from the Central West of NSW to explore these issues.

Global Power Grid Interconnection for Sustainable Growth: Concept, Project an...Power System Operation
Environment friendly and low carbon RE has a great development and research potential for GEI. Acceleration in development of clean energy is required in future to improve the proportion in world's energy generation. Low-cost conversion and plug in play type high-efficiency generation are required to develop in energy bases, especially on North Pole and Equator regions. Clean energy topic is generally divided into generation bases, grid integration and large-scale energy storage system. Hydropower is the key source of clean energy against power grid fluctuations due to intermittent sources. It has capabilities such as fast response on dispatch command, easy to start/shutdown, large capacity and high efficiency as well as flexible on load adjustment. However, large hydro sources can be improved further for eco-friendly point of
view.
The Global Survey of the Electrical Energy Distribution System: A ReviewIJECEIAES
This paper gives a review of energy scenario in India and other countries. Today’s demand of the world is to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, during the production of electricity. Henceforth over the world, the production of electrical power is changing by introducing abundantly available renewable energy sources like sun and wind. But, because of the intermittent nature of sustainable power sources, the electrical power network faces many problems, during the transmission and distribution of electricity. For resolving these issues, Electrical Energy Storage (EES) is acknowledged as supporting technology. This paper discusses about the world electrical energy scenario with top renowned developed countries in power generation and consumption. Contribution of traditional power sources changed after the introduction of renewable energy sources like sun and wind. Worldwide Agencies are formed like International Energy Agency (IEA), The Central Intelligence Agency, (CIS) etc. The main aim of these agencies is to provide reliable, affordable and clean energy. This paper will discuss about the regulatory authority and government policies/incentives taken by different countries. At the end of this paper, author focuses on obstacles in implementation, development and benefits of renewable energy.
In the present generation energy plays a vital role in our world and for human life it´s very important factor. There is a methodical meeting taking place regarding the conservation of energy and every time there is a review in the agenda. Energy demand and supply were endeavored by these countries. To rectify these problems, there should be more research in the generation of energy with the greater efficiency and try to use energy in more efficient manner. Solar energy remains as the most prominent source of energy as it is cost effective and environmentally friendly. Reviews convey that solar energy systems will play a major role in the power generations. As per present scenario there is a great importance to the solar energy using photovoltaic systems. Photovoltaic systems exhibit an important role for solar energy production.

De-risking Renewable Energy InvestmentsLászló Árvai
With increasing costs of installation in traditional fossil fuels, Renewable Energy resources are becoming more and more competitive and a new era is emerging on the global energy market.
Policymakers around the globe have recognized the challenges of climate changes, even though 80% of energy supplies today is dependent on depleting non-renewable energy, globally (Wüstenhagen and Menichetti, 2012). However, fossil fuels and its efficiencies are very much dependent upon cutting–edge technologies and also maximizing the utilization of tertiary methods like enhanced oil recovery (EOR) utilizing CO2 that must provide comprehensive solutions to maximize its revenue and shareholder values going forward (Simkins and Simkins, 2013).

Construction of the National Energy Policy
In the present day world, non-renewable energy has been heavily utilized as an ultimate source of energy both in for domestic and industrial use. Although the prospecting of energy has proven to be well-organized in the manufacturing of energy, the perpetual utilization of fossil fuels keeps posing a danger to the future generations as well as to the environment. The 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) research well indicated that the continuous emission of Green House Gas by the numerous industries across the globe have increased by a significant degree in the atmosphere. This trend has no doubt posed an imminent threat to the environment since the accumulation of hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) in the atmosphere has reached the alarming proportions as compared to the previous research, which was conducted way back in 1996 (Making National Energy Policy, 2017). It is for these worrying symptoms that there dire need for a national energy policy arises to orchestrate the manufacturing and utilization of renewable energy; solar, hydro, thermal as opposed to non-renewable sources of power; which entails oil, coal and natural gas.
How to construct this policy
The National Energy Policy will be concerned with the creating mechanisms to process or rather establish the sources of energy, which are essentially environmentally friendly and which would still be moderate on the gross domestic product (GDP). The best example is displayed by the government of the United Kingdom (UK), which recently proposed the adoption of Photovoltaic innovation to be converting solar energy into electric energy for domestic and industrial usage (Anger, Zannier & Centre for European Policy Studies (Brussels, Belgium), 2017). This initiative has proven to be brilliant idea, which most manufacturing industries in particular must embrace as solar energy is renewable and freely available at each person’s disposal. Above all, this form of energy is overly friendly with the environmental and is not associated with any health threats to the users.
There is every need therefore, for the government to select wind and solar power energy as sources of renewable energy. In the new National Energy Policy, the government is required to exhaustively deliberate upon the effects of perpetual utilization of the non-renewable energy, not just to the environment alone, but also to individual health. The government should work with speed to launch a policy mechanism through the Energy Saving Trust to begin effecting the proposed changes as soon as possible. This mechanism should be designed to accelerate investment in energy technologies that are re ...

Factors Affecting the Rise of Renewable Energy in the U.S.:
Concern over Environmental Quality or Rising Unemployment?
Adrienne M. Ohler*
A B S T R A C T
This paper studies the development of renewable energy (RE) in the U.S. by
examining the capacity to generate electricity from renewable sources. RE ca
pacity exhibits a U-shaped relationship with per capita income, similar to other
metrics for environmental quality (EQ). To explain this phenomenon, I consider
several of the environmental Kuznets curve theories that describe the relationship
between income and environmental quality (Y-EQ), including evolving property
rights, increased demand for improved EQ, and changing economic composition.
The results fail to provide support for the Y-EQ theories. I further consider the
alternative hypothesis that increases in unemployment lead to increases in relative
RE capacity, suggesting that promoting RE projects as a potential job creator is
one of the main drivers of RE projects. The results imply that lagged unemploy
ment is a significant predictor of relative RE capacity, particularly for states with
a large manufacturing share of GDR

1. INTRODUCTION
This paper analyzes the transition between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources
by empirically examining the relationship between per capita income and the relative use of RE
sources. Schmalensee, Stoker, and Judson (1998) stress that examining this relationship is important
to understanding whether energy transitions are due to fundamental economic trends or environ
mental policy. Using 1990-2008 state level panel data from the U.S. electricity market, I examine
two measures of relative RE use: the percent of capacity that utilizes RE sources and the devel
opment of RE capacity, defined as the change in the percent of RE capacity. The basic regression
results report a U-shaped relationship between income and RE capacity.
Literature on the empirical relationship between renewable energy (RE) and income typ
ically finds a positive relationship. Research on an individual’s willingness-to-pay (WTP) for RE
suggests that demand for RE increases with income. Bollino (2009) shows that high income indi
viduals are willing to pay more for electricity from RE, and Long (1993) presents results that suggest
high-income individuals spend more on RE investments. Oliver, Volschenk, and Smit (2011) study
the developing country of South Africa and also find a positive link between household income
and WTP for green electricity. On a more aggregate level, Carley (2009) finds evidence that the
percentage of RE generation increases with a state’s Gross State Product, and Burke (2010) finds
that the share of electricity generation from wind, and biomass electricity increases with per capita

In September 2013, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) published the final report of the proposed measures in the context of the Energy Strategy 2050 (ES2050). The ES2050 draws an energy scenario where the nuclear must be substituted by alternative sources. This implies a fundamental change in the energy system that has already been questioned by experts. Therefore, we must analyse in depth the technical implications of change in the Swiss energy mix from a robust baseload power such as nuclear, to an electricity mix where intermittent sources account for higher rates.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

9. Central governance strategies: Five-Year Plans.
The 6th Five-Year Plan (1985) is the first that specified a
reduction in energy consumption.
The 10th Five-Year Plan is the first plan directly dedicated
to new and renewable energy.to new and renewable energy.
It specifies an annual utilization of new and renewable
energy of 13 million tce (excluding small hydro and
biomass).

10. The 11th Five-Year Development Plan for New Energy and
Renewable Energy (2006-2010).
Annual utilization of renewable energy: 300 million tce,
The most ambitious energy consumption reductions: 20%
of energy per unit of GDP,of energy per unit of GDP,
The 12th Five-Year Plan calls for more savings on energy
efficiency and energy intensity reduction, but with no
specific target.
Reduction of 16% of energy per unit of GDP, due to the
difficulties on meeting the former target.

11. Too many bodies are involved in renewables management.
There is a lack of coordination and consistency amongst
regulations.
Unequal spatial distribution of renewable investment.
E.g. wind farms are concentrated in the north, producing 73.2%, butE.g. wind farms are concentrated in the north, producing 73.2%, but
between 38-57.2% is lost in transmission
Disparities between local and central government priorities.
Although China has ranked top in terms of investment on
renewable energy; a very small amount is spent on technical
research and development.
Investment in renewable energy accounted for only
0.045% of the total GDP, while EU member countries’
investment accounted for 2%.
ISRSE35, Beijing, 2013
12. The efficiency of renewables depends on the location and
the infrastructure.
Challenge: Is to define the areas where it is technically and
economically feasible to develop renewable energy
installations.installations.
The locations where it is easy to install renewable farms
become fewer over time.
The optimal distribution should consider:
The various kinds of technology (different efficiency) for
renewable sources,
The costs of the initial installation,
The costs of energy interconnection.

13. Natural constraints
Characteristics of the topography:
Lands with slopes>20% are excluded.
Natural variables (wind, sun, etc.).
Conflict with other activities such as agriculture or NaturalConflict with other activities such as agriculture or Natural
Parks.
Infrastructural constraints
Lack of infrastructure (roads for accessing of cranes).
Presence of buildings and the ownership of land
(private/public).
Lack of networks for transmission of the energy produced.

14. Energy return on investment (EROI) compares the energy
returned for a certain source and the energy used to get it
(explore, find, develop, produce, extract, transform, harvest,
grow, process, etc.).
It shows a general decrease of efficiency for fossil fuels andIt shows a general decrease of efficiency for fossil fuels and
gas.
Results on the real energy return for renewables are
sometimes contradictory.
Due to the falling number of appropriate sites, an spatialized
EROI is becoming increasingly important for renewables.
