This document discusses power markets in Central and Eastern Europe from 2008 to 2012. It summarizes that the CEE region is a significant exporter of electricity to Germany, despite having less hydroelectric production in recent years. German imports from CEE have supported further power plant developments. CEE imports from Western countries are driven more by weather and prices. The fuel mixes across CEE countries suggest opportunities for long-term nuclear power developments.
This document provides an analysis of India's power sector privatization with a focus on hydropower development.
[1] Coal now accounts for 90% of new capacity additions, though both coal and hydropower have doubled in capacity over the last 15 years. [2] While private sector contribution to power is now 50%, no major private company has yet completed a hydropower project despite taking on hydro allocations years ago. [3] For hydropower to meet 11th plan targets, completion rates must more than double from the past rate.
The document discusses projections for global gas markets over the next 10-20 years.

This document analyzes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribution along the agricultural lifecycle of several energy crops, including triticale, sorghum, Brassica carinata, and Brassica napus. The study finds that fertilization, particularly nitrous oxide emissions, accounts for the largest impact during the agricultural stage. Adopting improved nitrogen management techniques could help reduce GHG emissions. The use of biomass for heat and electricity production provides clear GHG emissions savings compared to fossil fuel alternatives, contributing to climate change mitigation goals. However, more country-specific research is needed on modeling nitrous oxide emissions from Mediterranean agriculture.
This study evaluated the impact of cover crops and conventional tillage on carbon output from olive orchards in Spain. Eight experimental fields with different slopes, soil types, and cover management were monitored over multiple years. Results showed that cover crops promoted higher average soil coverage of 65.7% compared to 22.4% with conventional tillage. This led to lower runoff and erosion with cover crops, reducing carbon losses by an average of 76.4% due to decreases of 36.4% in runoff and 85.6% in erosion. Additionally, carbon output under cover crops was less influenced by rainfall patterns than under conventional tillage. The study concludes cover crops are effective at reducing carbon losses from olive orchards.
The newsletter discusses climate change impacts and mitigation strategies related to livestock production. It provides summaries of several projects exploring options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from grassland systems through the use of legume-grass mixtures. Research shows mixtures can substantially reduce nitrous oxide emissions without loss of productivity. Studies are examining mixtures' resilience to drought. Models estimate greenhouse gas emissions from livestock in Africa and Latin America, finding variability between regions due to differences in systems. Analysis of climate impacts on European grasslands finds increased exposure to heat and drought in many areas, though some northern regions may see increased productivity. The article on Brazil discusses historical land use changes that degraded pastures there and the need for intensification.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
