22.02, Group 7 — Concept of sustainable development in built environmentWDC_Ukraine
Ukraine has the potential to transition its transport sector to more sustainable energy sources by 2030. It has the resources and technologies needed to produce biofuels like bioethanol from agricultural waste as a short-term solution, and focus on hydrogen as a long-term transport fuel produced from domestic methane and biomass. Realizing this vision will require adapting legislation, incentivizing eco-fuel production through taxes and grants, developing infrastructure, and educating the public.
22.02, Group 6 — Concept of sustainable development in built environmentWDC_Ukraine
1. The existing Ukrainian energy plans for 2030 aim to increase GDP and coal mining while decreasing power consumption and dependence on imports.
2. The government system is criticized for high prices, prioritizing nuclear power over ecology, and pollution from hydroelectric power stations and unused methane.
3. The document proposes developing hydrogen energy, cold nuclear synthesis generators, quantum thermal power stations, and increasing the use of biomass, solar, and waste recycling as part of a new sustainable energy system.
The document summarizes a course on sustainable development held at the NTUU "KPI" in Kiev, Ukraine from February 12-23, 2007. The course covered topics like sustainable consumption, eco-labels, packaging, and fair trade. It included group activities where participants identified needs versus wants in recent purchases and factors to consider from a sustainable perspective. The document provided information on eco-labels, issues with packaging waste, and how fair trade aims to ensure producers receive fair prices and support for their businesses.
This document discusses sustainable development and the role of companies and engineers in achieving sustainability. It argues that engineers should take a holistic approach and consider social and environmental impacts, not just technical and economic factors, when designing products and systems. Sustainable companies mentioned include 3M, which saved money through pollution prevention, and Unilever, which improved its water efficiency. The document advocates that companies will benefit financially and with public image over the long run by engaging stakeholders and adopting sustainable practices.
19.02, Mulder — From forecasting to backcastingWDC_Ukraine
This document discusses forecasting and backcasting approaches for developing sustainable futures. [1] Forecasting has limitations due to non-linearities and uncertainties. [2] Backcasting begins with envisioning a desirable future and then determining the steps needed to achieve it. [3] The document outlines a 5-step backcasting process including problem analysis, visioning, determining required changes, elaboration, and planning for implementation.
The document discusses indicators for sustainability assessment, focusing on the ecological footprint. It defines ecological footprint as the area of productive land and water required to support a defined human population and material standard of living. It describes how ecological footprints are calculated based on consumption patterns and land use types. As an example, it shows Canada's ecological footprint broken down by components. Globally, the available land per capita is 1.8 hectares but consumption is 2.2 hectares, exceeding availability by 22%. Regional data shows that most developed nations and regions exceed their available land area while some developing areas have surplus. The global ecological footprint has grown substantially since the 1960s.
16.02, Zgurovsky — Lecture on indicators of sustainable developmentWDC_Ukraine
The document discusses the concept of sustainable development and its calculation through various indices. It provides background on the origins of the concept dating back to Vernadsky's noosphere theory from the 1920s. It then outlines key international conferences and agreements around sustainable development from the 1970s to present. Finally, it presents mathematical models for calculating a composite index of sustainable development based on balancing economic, ecological and social dimensions of countries.
15.02, Group 7 — Problems concerning sustainability of Energy System in UkraineWDC_Ukraine
Group 7 from the National Technical University of Ukraine presented on problems with Ukraine's energy system and potential solutions. The main issues are dependence on fossil fuels, limited resources, and inefficient energy use. Currently, Ukraine's electricity comes primarily from coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, and other sources. Two potential solutions discussed were using the country's substantial mine methane and biomass resources to produce hydrogen through catalyst conversion or electrolysis. This could provide an alternative fuel to oil and natural gas while utilizing waste. The group's project aims to introduce hydrogen innovations in transport for economic and environmental benefits.
15.02, Group 6 — Problems concerning sustainability of Energy System in UkraineWDC_Ukraine
Ukraine has significant natural energy reserves and infrastructure but also faces some disadvantages. It has coal, uranium, and natural gas reserves as well as oil and gas transportation infrastructure and power export capacities. However, it has shortages of domestic natural gas and oil reserves and nuclear fuel and some energy facilities are outdated. The document outlines Ukraine's plans to develop reliable and sustainable energy systems by upgrading infrastructure, increasing renewable energy and energy efficiency, and integrating with European energy markets to address these issues.
15.02, Group 5 — Problems concerning sustainability of Energy System in UkraineWDC_Ukraine
Ukrainian energy system faces several problems, including overdependence on Russian energy imports, inefficient electricity infrastructure, and lack of investment in modernization. Ukraine consumes large amounts of natural gas, over 70% of which comes from Russia, posing a threat to Ukraine's national security. Domestic gas production only meets a small portion of the country's needs and reserves are limited. Additionally, 14% of electricity is lost during transmission and many users do not pay their utility bills. The fossil fuel industry relies on outdated practices and equipment rather than investing in sustainable solutions, and businesses exert political influence to maintain the status quo.
15.02, Group 4 — Problems concerning sustainability of Energy System in UkraineWDC_Ukraine
This case study examines the sustainability of Ukraine's energy system. It identifies several key issues including: 1) a Soviet-era mindset of overconsumption of free resources with little regard for the environment; 2) a lack of understanding of energy measures and innovation; and 3) economic problems like shadow markets, short-term planning, and political interference. Additional problems covered include high capital asset aging, resource import reliance, low renewable usage, transmission losses, overconsumption, and non-payment for services. The conclusion is that Ukraine's energy system suffers from diverse social, economic, ecological, technological and political problems and cannot currently be considered sustainable.
15.02, Group 2 — Problems concerning sustainability of Energy System in UkraineWDC_Ukraine
The document discusses problems with the sustainability of Ukraine's energy system. It identifies technological issues like outdated equipment, energy losses during transportation, and uncoordinated energy production and consumption. Regulatory issues include monopolization of energy resources, lack of encouragement for efficient energy use, and insufficient research funding. Social aspects include underpayment of engineering jobs and lack of public awareness about sustainability. The conclusions call for improving efficiency, environmental protection, research and development to work towards a sustainable energy system.
15.02, Group 1 — Problems concerning sustainability of Energy System in UkraineWDC_Ukraine
The document summarizes problems with the sustainability of Ukraine's energy system. It discusses issues in the economic, ecological, and social dimensions. Economically, Ukraine relies heavily on imported resources and outdated technologies. Ecologically, the energy system pollutes the environment significantly.
