The document proposes an alternative technology project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from a housing construction project in Mexico. The key points are:
1) A construction company is building 10,000 homes that would emit over 108,540 tons of CO2 annually using conventional technology, exceeding Mexico's limit of 25,000 tons.
2) The proposed alternative uses solar panels, LED lights, and solar water heaters, reducing emissions to 24,462 tons annually.
3) This alternative would cost $230.9 million initially but save $158.9 million annually in energy costs while generating $121.1 million annually from selling the reduced emissions credits. The investment would be recouped in 1 year and 9 months
In this lesson an overview of Nigeria’s energy supply is discussed, including oil and gas. The neglect of coal as a source of energy is touched, and the potential in tapping into this energy source. The concept of electric power demand and supply is introduced and it rounds up with a quiz.

The document outlines targets for the UK to increase energy efficiency by 20%, reduce CO2 emissions by 20%, and source 20% of energy from renewables by 2020. It describes how a typical home built in the 1970s emitted 7 tonnes of CO2 per year, but upgrading insulation reduced emissions to 5 tonnes, and a smart electric home today using smart appliances and 15% renewables can emit 3.2 tonnes. The smart grid enables further CO2 reductions to 2.3 tonnes by 2020 and 1.6 tonnes by 2030 as the grid continues to decarbonize.
This document discusses the history and evolution of electrical lighting, from Thomas Edison's incandescent lamp to modern LED lighting. It notes that while fluorescent tubes were an improvement over early incandescent bulbs, they contain mercury and have high disposal costs. The document also presents a case study showing that switching an office from fluorescent to LED lighting would save over £7,000 annually and pay for itself within 1.5 years, due to LEDs being more energy efficient and having lower maintenance costs over their lifespan. A large project is planned to replace lighting in several areas of a building with LEDs at an estimated cost of £150,000.
The document discusses the challenges in accurately accounting for carbon emissions from various energy sources and technologies. It notes that small differences in assigned emission factors can significantly impact policy decisions. Proper accounting is difficult as emission factors may vary depending on fuel source, grid load, and other complex factors. The document examines issues with emission factors for biofuels, electricity, and combined heat and power generation. Consistent and accurate emission accounting requires more research to address ongoing uncertainties and variability.
The document summarizes that considering sustainability of the whole energy system, from source to end user, is more important than focusing only on the household level. Electricity generated from fossil fuels like coal increases the carbon emissions, even for households that use electricity for heating. A truly sustainable energy system for 2050 requires optimizing the entire chain from energy source to user, with CO2 reduction as the central goal, rather than pursuing individual targets like making all homes electric which can actually increase emissions and costs.

Ccr sustainable building technologies draft 7.3.10Kim Mitchell
The document outlines strategies for the Center for Community Renewal (CCR) to achieve high levels of energy efficiency and conservation. It aims to reduce the CCR's energy consumption by 70% compared to a baseline building through strategies like geothermal heating/cooling, solar panels, wind turbines, and more. The CCR also aims to produce more energy annually than it consumes, becoming net-zero or better. Technologies proposed include solar, wind, a fuel cell, and smart grid integration. The goals are for the CCR to serve as a model and laboratory for sustainable building practices.
This document discusses how reducing electricity demand during peak times ("shaving the peak") can help ensure reliable power supply in the UK. Household electricity usage is a major driver of peaks between 3-6pm due to activities like cooking. Switching halogen light bulbs, which are used in over half of UK homes, to more efficient LED bulbs could reduce peak demand by around 3.5 GW and significantly increase the national power grid's capacity margin during cold winter periods. The economic case for individual homeowners and potential benefits for Cambridge University to promote LED adoption are also examined.
Denmark has ambitious renewable energy targets, aiming to install 1000 MW of solar power by 2020 and 3400 MW by 2030. The country also relies heavily on renewable sources like biomass and wind power, with biomass accounting for 41% of total energy consumption as Denmark imported over 2 million tonnes of wood pellets. Non-renewable sources like coal, oil, and natural gas still make up a portion of the energy mix but are expected to decline as Denmark works to transition fully to renewable energy.
Alan Pears - slides - price on carbon forum Aug 2011simon5678
This document discusses carbon pricing and actions individuals can take to reduce emissions. It summarizes a report on equitable emissions reductions and current emissions levels by country. It then provides three concise summaries of the key points:
1) Carbon pricing will have minimal direct impact on most individuals and the economy. Only large emitters need to directly comply, and most costs will be offset through tax reductions or passed on in minor ways.
2) Individual actions like energy efficiency upgrades and switching to renewable energy or electric vehicles can significantly reduce emissions cost-effectively.
3) Innovation will further reduce costs over time as low-carbon technologies improve. A carbon price provides an incentive to develop solutions without hugely impacting the economy.
The document discusses various topics related to sustainable housing and renewable energy systems for homes. It mentions that a 60% cut in emissions is needed to stabilize the climate according to the IPCC. It also discusses the energy performance of UK homes and fuel poverty issues. Examples are provided of sustainable housing projects like BedZed and Hockerton that achieved zero carbon emissions. It outlines the need to upgrade much of the existing housing stock to higher insulation and performance standards. Various renewable technologies that can be integrated into homes are also described such as solar water heating, heat pumps, pellet boilers, and photovoltaics. Passive solar design principles and materials like rammed earth, lime, and wood are advocated for sustainable building construction

The document discusses the Solar Government Quarter project in Berlin, Germany which aimed to power major government buildings with renewable energy. It describes how the project equipped buildings like the parliament, chancellery, and president's office with photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors. It also established an independent energy system for the area using renewable technologies like biogas combined heat and power, geothermal energy storage, and solar powered cooling. However, the project ultimately only achieved 1.1% of energy from photovoltaics due to a reliance on biofuels for heating. The document argues for greater renewable energy use and against planned new coal power plants in Berlin.
This document discusses renewable energy sources as alternatives to coal, oil, and nuclear power. It notes that solar and wind energy are clean sources that can replace traditional power generation. The document advocates switching to renewable sources to save money and help the environment.

UNC Sustainability Symposium: Jennifer Turner 2082013UNCEurope
China relies heavily on coal for electricity but coal uses a significant amount of water. By 2010, coal was using 20% of China's water. China's demand for energy is growing faster than its freshwater supply, creating challenges. Some solutions being pursued include developing renewable energy sources like solar and wind, building massive water infrastructure projects to move water from southern China to the north, and exploring shale gas as a new energy resource. However, these all carry environmental and social risks that could further strain China's water-food-energy nexus.

This document discusses three methods of electric power production: using gas, using wind, and using solar energy. It covers the production of electricity from natural gas, wind turbines that convert kinetic energy from the wind into electrical energy, and solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells.
The Romanian energy regulator estimates that renewable energy production will increase significantly in 2012, leading to higher electricity bills for consumers. They expect over 5.5 million green certificates to be issued next year, over 3 times more than in 2011. This massive increase is driven by a modified support mechanism that provides wind farms, the largest renewable energy source, with 2 certificates per MWh instead of 1 previously. If all certificates are sold at the maximum price of €55 each, the total cost passed to consumers through electricity bills could reach about €303 million next year, with the green energy cost impact estimated at around 2.5% of bills.

Summary Presentation for The Great Transition: Shifting from Fossil Fuels to ...Earth Policy Institute
The energy transition is here. As fossil fuel resources shrink, as air pollution worsens, and as concerns about climate instability cast a shadow over the future of coal, oil, and natural gas, a new world energy economy is emerging. The old economy, fueled largely by coal and oil, is being replaced with one powered by solar and wind energy.
The document outlines a vision for a sustainable global energy system by 2050 that limits global warming to 1°C. It proposes transitioning to renewable energy sources like wind and solar to meet energy demand while reducing CO2 emissions to 250 gigatons by 2050. This would require replacing energy-inefficient equipment, improving building insulation, and developing more efficient transport and hydrogen fuel cell technology. The vision estimates renewable energy sources could provide over 5000 gigawatts of power globally by 2050, meeting energy needs in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner.
This presentation by Richard Davies of the Marches Energy Agency discusses delivering on reducing demand, decarbonization, and decentralization of energy to address climate change and energy security. It notes that the West Midlands population of 5.3 million people accounts for 50 million tonnes of CO2 annually and strategies are needed for decarbonizing the region by 2020 through various renewable options. Case studies are presented on energy efficiency projects and a low carbon communities grant scheme that provides funding for feasibility studies and capital projects to reduce carbon emissions from small businesses.

Avalon Energia is an open-source initiative. It's aim is to solve the climate crisis by encouraging the build up of global carbon-free nuclear energy by solving the nuclear waste issue. Avalon Energia's plan is to remove the obstacles (public opinion, legislation, repository cities) in Finland to safely dispose of global high-level nuclear waste in a network of deep geological repositories in the bedrock of Finland. This is an estimated 10B€ per year or 1T€ total business for Finland. This high-level nuclear waste can be reprocessed in the future to power the entire planet with clean energy for over 70 years. Opinion polls in different countries show that the popularity of nuclear energy skyrockets, if the nuclear waste issues is solved. Let's Rock It!

1. Canada needs large-scale solutions to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 500+ megatons per year, so proposed solutions need to be sufficiently large in scale.
2. Canada has significant potential for bioenergy and biofuels from forest and agricultural residues that could provide over 1000 petajoules of energy per year and reduce emissions by over 100 megatons.
3. Strategies are needed to enhance the value of bio-resources, such as establishing a price on carbon, regulations like low-carbon fuel standards, and partnerships with energy industries to reduce their footprint using biomass.
The document discusses climate change, energy security, and peak oil. It argues that urgent action is needed within the next 100 months to drastically alter behavior to avoid catastrophic consequences of climate change. It notes the challenges of feeding a population of 9 billion by 2030 and providing enough energy while mitigating and adapting to climate change. The document outlines the UK's targets under the Climate Change Act to reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. It proposes local missions and leadership initiatives in areas like renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable transport, and alleviating fuel poverty.
Electrical energy has become essential for modern life and is used for personal comforts, entertainment, industrial and agricultural purposes, and transportation. While conventional fossil fuels currently provide most electricity, they are finite and cause environmental problems. Non-conventional renewable sources like solar, wind and biomass are more sustainable options. India's total installed power capacity is over 225,000 MW as of 2013, with thermal sources providing over half, while renewable sources account for 12%. Conserving energy reduces costs and environmental impacts, since less fossil fuels are used when generating the same amount of power. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency promotes conservation through policies, awareness campaigns and standards like appliance energy labeling.

A presentation on the circular economy playbook by Sitra, Technology Industries Finland and Accenture for international journalists visiting Finland on 31 October 2018. Presented by Leading specialist Jyri Arponen.
The circular economy aims to decouple economic activity from the consumption of finite resources by designing waste out of systems and keeping products and materials in use. Globally, demand for raw materials is increasing substantially while much of what is produced is wasted. Many countries and regions are now pioneering circular economy approaches and business models that focus on renewable energy, recycling, product life extension, and product-as-a-service models. Finland has developed a unique roadmap to become a global leader in the circular economy with the potential to create over 75,000 new jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 13-66% across sectors.
The document discusses the need for new metrics to measure companies' net impacts and value creation. It argues that current measures are outdated and better at measuring performance than impacts. A new quantification model is proposed to assess both the positive and negative economic, social and environmental impacts of companies. This would provide a more holistic view of companies' overall footprint and shape. It would focus only on the most significant impacts and those downstream from products and services. The goal is to incentivize businesses to build their models around solutions that deliver net positive impacts.

Winning Climate Strategies: Solutions for asset owners from beginner to best practise
Catherine Howarth's presentation in the Finnish Climate Summit, June 2018. Catherine Howarth is the Chief Executive of ShareAction, that coordinates civil society activism to promote responsible investment across Europe.
The document discusses the need for producers and suppliers to shift towards more sustainable products and services when sustainable consumption alone is not enough. It suggests producers develop new sustainable products and services and gradually shift away from unsustainable options. It also notes consumers may go beyond sustainable consumption through downshifting, sharing resources, anti-consumption, and buycotting certain materials. The document calls for collaboration across all levels to enable this shift towards sustainability.
The document outlines the SHIFT framework for changing sustainable consumer behaviors. It discusses how social influence, habits, feelings, and tangibility can impact behaviors. For social influence, it explains how social norms, social desirability, and social groups shape actions. It also discusses breaking bad habits and forming new ones. For individual factors, it addresses self-values, self-interest, self-efficacy, self-concept, and consistency. The document provides examples of grasscycling in Calgary to demonstrate combining appeals to social influence and individual factors.
