The document discusses promoting renewable energy, specifically offshore wind power, in Lithuania. It provides background on Lithuania's energy production, which currently relies heavily on a soon-to-be-closed nuclear power plant. Offshore wind is identified as a promising renewable alternative due to Lithuania's coastal geography. The document outlines Lithuania's renewable energy targets from the EU and various existing promotion policies for renewables. However, it notes no offshore wind projects have been implemented yet due to potential barriers. The research question aims to recommend a policy architecture to promote offshore wind development in Lithuania.
Slovenia has significant potential for renewable energy, particularly solar power, but currently obtains only 10% of its electricity from renewable sources. The government promotes renewable energy through a feed-in tariff program. Eligible technologies include wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, biomass and hydropower plants up to 5MW capacity. Larger plants from 10-125MW can receive a premium added to the market price to incentivize production from renewables. Slovenia aims to increase renewable energy's share of total energy consumption to 25% by 2020 in accordance with EU directives.

This document discusses the Euro-Mediterranean Energy Market Integration Project (MED-EMIP), which aims to promote renewable energy in the Mediterranean region. It prepared 44 recommended energy efficiency and renewable energy measures in 2008. MED-EMIP cannot implement all recommendations alone and some require additional funding. The document also discusses the Mediterranean Solar Plan's goal of 20,000 MW of solar and wind capacity by 2020 through private investment, and the need to make domestic sales and exports commercially attractive. Consultations were held in 2009 on improving EU and regional policies to achieve these goals. Key issues discussed are whether countries should consume expensive domestic solar power or lobby for exports, and what level of cross-subsidy from other energy sources is socially acceptable to
2011 was the year that EWEA spearheaded the call for 2030 renewable energy targets and began to look forward to its 30th anniversary in 2012. During the last 30 years EWEA has supported the growth of Europe’s wind power industry from a marginal technology (in 1982 there was just over 100 MW of capacity in Europe) to a major industry – Europe is set to pass the 100,000 MW mark this year, providing over 6% of Europe’s electricity.
Despite the ongoing economic crisis, Europe’s wind installations remained stable in 2011. And the industry’s long-term prospects remain bright in the light of the European Commission’s Energy Roadmap 2050 showing that wind energy would be the leading generating technology by 2050. (June 2012).

The document discusses the Euro-Mediterranean Energy Market Integration Project, which aims to reinforce EU-MPC energy cooperation through enhanced dialogue and information exchange. It debates ways to establish a Mediterranean Solar Plan (MSP) by identifying disagreements and negotiating the export of solar power from the region to the EU. However, it notes that finding buyers for the electricity in Europe, financing large power plants and transmission lines, and developing sufficient local markets are major challenges. It argues that the MSP will have little effect on mitigating technology costs and that energy modesty may be an inconvenient truth given development needs.
The document is a report from the Institute for Energy at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre summarizing the status of photovoltaics (PV). The Institute provides scientific and technical support for renewable energy policies and strategies. The report covers PV markets, policies, research and development, and companies in locations around the world such as Japan, China, Taiwan, the United States, and European Union countries. It aims to give an overview of current activities in PV research, manufacturing, and market implementation globally.
Content_Ukraine is too poor to invest in green energyPublic Debate
Ukraine is too poor to invest in green energy. Green energy production in Ukraine costs on average 5 times as much as conventional energy due to high costs. Green energy currently accounts for less than 1% of Ukraine's energy production. Investing substantial government funds to increase green energy production would significantly increase Ukraine's budgetary burden due to the high costs of green energy technologies. It may be more reasonable for Ukraine to wait for costs of green energy technologies to decrease as rich countries further develop them.

Hungary relies on renewable energy for around 10% of its total installed electricity capacity. However, only a small portion of Hungary's renewable energy potential has been utilized so far. As old fossil fuel power plants close, it is important to develop more of Hungary's renewable resources, as demand for electricity is increasing and an additional 6,000-8,000 MW of capacity will be needed by 2020. Hungary uses feed-in tariffs to promote renewable energy development, with rates that vary based on technology, installation date, and time of electricity delivery.
In Slovakia, renewable energy accounts for almost 10% of total installed electricity capacity. Solar PV capacity increased significantly in recent years, reaching 312 MW installed in 2011, until legislation reduced tariff eligibility for solar installations to 30 kW. The main policy support for renewable energy is a feed-in tariff program that pays a premium price for electricity generated from wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, hydro, and biomass. The tariff is structured in two parts and applies for 15 years except for installations under 1 MW which receive the tariff for their lifetime.
Published in February 2013 by the European Wind Energy Association, this is the most up-to-date information on wind energy. It includes facts and figures on statistics and targets, jobs and finance, technology, costs, subsidies and prices, R&D, environment and public opinion - all in an easy to digest format. For more wind energy facts, visit www.ewea.org
The document is a roadmap for developing offshore wind, wave, and tidal stream energy sectors in Europe. It finds that these renewable energy sources could potentially supply all of Europe's electricity demand. However, ocean energy is currently less developed than offshore wind. The roadmap identifies two areas with high combined wind, wave, and tidal resources - the Atlantic coasts and Northern North Sea. It recommends actions to overcome barriers to developing these resources, including improving financing mechanisms and promoting cooperation across countries. The goal is to significantly scale up commercial deployments of offshore renewables across Europe by 2030 in an environmentally sustainable way.
The document summarizes the Wave Dragon project, which aims to deploy the world's largest wave energy converter off the coast of Wales in 2007. The 7MW Wave Dragon device will be tested for 3-5 years to gain operational experience. It is planned to eventually expand the project into an 77MW wave farm. The Wave Dragon uses two large reflectors to focus waves onto a ramp, where water is stored in a reservoir above sea level before being discharged through hydro turbines to generate electricity. The Welsh government is providing £5 million in funding to support the demonstration project.
This document summarizes a proposal for a 100 MW "turnkey ready" wind farm project near Riga, Latvia. The key points are:
1) The project involves developing a wind farm with 50 turbines that could generate up to 100 MW of power total through sustainable wind energy.
2) The wind farm is already developed with infrastructure like access roads, an electrical grid connection, and an operations center.
3) The project offers investors the opportunity to acquire a ready-to-use renewable energy facility that can provide clean power to the local electrical grid.

The document discusses the potential for solar photovoltaic (PV) energy worldwide. It summarizes studies that project significant growth in PV installation and generation through 2050. One study estimates over 1 terawatt of cumulative installed PV capacity globally by 2050, with PV providing up to one-fourth of electricity production and one-sixth of total energy demand. The document also outlines the role of different regions in this projected growth, with developed markets like Europe and the US expected to lead initially before being surpassed by developing markets.
The document outlines a strategic research agenda for ocean energy in Europe put forth by the European Technology and Innovation Platform for Ocean Energy. It identifies 12 priority research areas for ocean energy and proposes €1 billion in investments over 4-5 years to fund 54 research and innovation actions. These actions aim to improve reliability and reduce costs of ocean energy technologies through increased deployment, improved materials, and developing a dedicated supply chain. The agenda seeks to position European companies and research at the forefront of developing ocean energy as a significant part of Europe's future renewable energy mix and powering regional economic growth.
Croatia has significant potential for solar power but limits capacity additions. It aims to source 20% of energy from renewables by 2020 through policies like feed-in tariffs. Eligible renewable generators receive payments for 14 years by contracting with the national grid operator.
The OffshoreGrid project developed a scientifically based view of an offshore grid in Northern Europe along with a suitable regulatory framework. Key results include:
1) Clustering offshore wind farms into hubs can save up to €14 billion in infrastructure costs compared to individual connections by 2030.
2) Two highly interconnected grid designs - Direct Design and Split Design - were modeled and found total costs of €84 billion and €86 billion respectively.
3) Additional costs of the interconnected designs over a hub-based scenario were €7.4 billion for Direct Design and €5.4 billion for Split Design.
Italy has made some progress towards reintroducing nuclear energy but faces several challenges. While public support for nuclear power has increased, there is a lack of cross-party political support. Italy needs to establish an independent nuclear energy planning body, complete a national energy plan that includes nuclear, and gain widespread political backing to credibly implement a nuclear power program. The IAEA guidelines provide a useful framework but could be made more specific and tailored to Italy's situation.
In 2012, Europe’s wind energy industry was plunged into a crisis of regulatory uncertainty as governments, seeing renewables as an easy target for austerity measures, slashed or changed their support. Despite this, 2012 marked a historic milestone: reaching 100 GW of wind power capacity in the EU, meeting the power needs of 57 million households, equivalent to the output of 39 nuclear power plants – a remarkable success which was achieved during a period of extraordinary growth founded on firm political support.

TNO is researching unconventional gas resources in the Netherlands including shale gas. Their research focuses on estimating gas resource volumes, identifying optimal drilling locations, developing smart extraction methods, ensuring safe production, and providing knowledge to inform policy decisions. Key points include estimated shale gas resources of 175-525 BCM, modeling to understand basin maturity and fracture properties, comparing extraction techniques like hydraulic fracturing and fishbone wells, and predicting impacts like induced seismicity. TNO coordinates both national and European research collaborations on unconventional gas exploration and extraction.
This document provides a summary of innovative stimulation technologies for shale gas recovery. It discusses various fracturing methods including hydraulic, pneumatic, dynamic loading, and other methods. Specific technologies are described in more detail, including liquid carbon dioxide fracturing, LPG fracturing, energized fluids, HiWAY flow channel fracturing, various perforating technologies like FracGun, StimGun, GasGun, and a proposed Multistage Perforator. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods are presented. The goal is to review these technologies to inspire discussion between industry and academia around developing environmentally friendly and economically viable solutions for Polish shales.
TNO uses numerical modeling to address uncertainties in estimates of recoverable shale gas. Their workflow involves:
1) Characterizing hydraulic fracturing, natural fractures, and gas production through basin modeling, petrophysical and geomechanical tools.
2) Simulating hydraulic fracturing under a range of input parameters to understand variations in fracture properties and gas production.
3) Modeling natural fracture networks and how they are stimulated under different stress conditions to reduce uncertainties.
The document discusses the formation of a Joint Program (JP) on Shale Gas by the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) to establish an independent knowledge base for politicians and decision makers regarding shale gas in Europe. The JP was unanimously approved in April 2013 and includes several work packages focused on shale gas reservoir characterization, drilling of horizontal wells, fracturing operations, monitoring fracturing and production, and developing innovative stimulation technologies. It involves research institutions from several European countries and aims to improve the efficiency of shale gas extraction through increased understanding of shale gas resources and production processes adapted to European regulations.
This document describes a joint research program on shale gas between 26 research institutes from 15 European member states. The program aims to establish an independent knowledge base on shale gas in Europe by evaluating existing technologies and methodologies. It identifies the main drivers for the program as the expected continued importance of fossil fuels in Europe's energy mix, the potential role of shale gas in increasing energy security and lowering costs, and the need to address public environmental concerns. The program consists of 5 sub-programs that will assess shale gas resources, technologies for safe and efficient exploitation, environmental impacts and footprint, energy/carbon efficiencies and emissions, and strategies for public engagement. A total of 185 person-years of expertise and resources are committed across the 26 participating

1. The document discusses developments in drilling technologies for shale gas, focusing on new technical solutions for rigs, strings, bits, drilling fluids, and casing.
2. It describes trends toward more automated, mobile rigs suited for difficult terrain as well as offshore rigs. New rig designs are being developed for space applications.
3. Improvements in strings include new materials like titanium alloys to withstand high pressures and temperatures. Developments in bits include sealed bearings and optimized designs for different rock hardness.
The document discusses the European Technology Platform for Clean, Unconventional Hydrocarbons (ETP CUH). The ETP CUH aims to develop technologies to extract unconventional hydrocarbons like shale gas in a clean, sustainable way. It was established in 2013 and is led by a Working Group comprising experts from countries like Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, and Belgium. The ETP CUH has five research groups and seeks to develop technologies that minimize environmental impact while increasing energy security and competitiveness in Europe.
This document provides an agenda for a two-day technical seminar hosted by the Sub-project 2 of the EERA Shale Gas Joint Programme in Gdansk, Poland. Day one will include introductions and discussions on reservoir characterization, drilling horizontal wells, and international experiences. Day two will cover fracturing and monitoring, modeling of hydraulic fracturing and proppant transport, and innovative stimulation technologies. The objectives are to discuss research within each work package of the EERA SP2 project and exchange views between members and industry.
The document discusses modelling fluid flow in shale reservoirs. It describes the complex porous network in shales which includes multiple gas storage and transport mechanisms. Effective modelling requires accounting for different porosity systems including the organic matrix, inorganic pores and natural fractures. Common modelling approaches for fractured reservoirs like dual porosity and dual permeability models are discussed as well as their limitations for modelling low permeability shales. More advanced models like MINC (Multiple INteracting Continua) and locally refined dual permeability models are presented to better represent transient fluid flow in shales. Key shale properties affecting gas production including adsorbed gas, non-Darcy flow, and fracture properties are also summarized.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
