This document provides an overview of a mapping tutorial that will cover building maps and mapping data. The tutorial is divided into two parts - the first half covers building and displaying maps, while the second half focuses on mapping data. Various mapping APIs and libraries are introduced, including Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, OpenStreetMap, Mapstraction, and OpenLayers. Terminology related to maps and geodata is also defined.
Manufacturing a car in Mexico at a 10% profit margin would allow the company to offer an affordable "people's car" in the growing Mexican market. This would generate $185 million in new revenues and $18.5 million in annual profits while positioning the company for future expansion across North and South America. The target market of middle-class Mexican families is large and growing, with a stable economy and trade agreements supporting market access. Producing locally through a sales and production subsidiary would help compete effectively while controlling risks.
A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent
Ultracapacitors, also known as electrochemical capacitors, store energy electrostatically at the interface between an electrode and an electrolyte solution. They were invented in the 1960s as an alternative to batteries that does not involve chemical reactions or mass transfer. Ultracapacitors can be designed symmetrically with two carbon electrodes or asymmetrically with one carbon electrode and one battery-type electrode. They provide higher power density and longer lifespan than batteries but lower energy density.
This document provides automotive statistics for Mexico in 2015, specifically car density measured in thousands of units. Mexico had a lower car density than countries like Germany, the USA, and Malaysia but a higher density than Thailand, China, Brazil, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, India, and Myanmar.

Refining the Business Case for Sustainable Energy Projects Using Palisade @RISK and Precision Tree: A Biofuel Plant Case Study

The sustainable energy industry sits at the nexus of growth and change: the popular groundswell for ‘green initiatives’, ongoing debates concerning global warming / climate change, fickle government incentives, the quest for renewable and alternative sources, expansion in developing economies, and the rapid emergence of new technologies. Sustainable energy industry sectors such as biofuel, solar, wind power each have unique selling points as well as practical challenges. Across the board, profit margins are uncertain and tight, demanding detailed analysis and complex business cases. Palisade\'s DecisionTools Suite is an ideal vehicle for conducting the deep analysis needed to separate the hype and ‘wishful vibes’ from the real risks and tangible profit cases needed to ‘green light’ sustainability projects.
Sustainable energy’s central competitor and sometimes partner, the petroleum majors, have distinct advantages, having established, streamlined supply chains and being embedded into the global economy. However, traditional petroleum exploration is going to increasingly extreme and risky lengths to locate and exploit new reserves (i.e. Athabasca Oil Sands, deep sea drilling, project development in politically unstable regions). The petroleum majors are dedicated users of the Palisade DecisionTools Suite to make their increasingly complex and risky business cases.
This presentation asserts that an energy development ‘risk / reward parity’ level is growing between new petroleum exploration and sustainable energy initiatives. The presentation uses a biofuel plant case study as an example of how a profitable business case can be made for a sustainable energy project using techniques commonly applied in petroleum exploration and engineering initiatives. The biofuel industry is expected to multiply its production by a factor of 50 by 2020. The uncertainties of government subsidy, tax credits, and loan guarantees are crucial to meeting biofuel profit margins. Stochastic analysis greatly improves the ability to pinpoint risk and to identify mitigation strategies. The case study uses @RISK to model biofuel project NPV, Evolver to suggest plant optimisation strategies, and PrecisionTree to guide strategic decision making. The approaches presented have promise as a due-diligence tool for prospective sustainability entrepreneurs, investors, project managers, and firms.
Global energy demand is projected to grow 50% by 2030, met primarily through fossil fuels. This will require $52 trillion in investments across the power, oil, and gas sectors. Emerging markets will see twice the growth of developed markets. National oil companies control 80% of oil reserves but international oil companies can access reserves through partnerships. Both will need to invest in new technologies and reduce costs to meet escalating demand and higher prices. Downstream strategies should focus on high growth emerging markets and efficiency in mature markets.
This document discusses the need to save energy due to finite resources and increasing global energy demand and population growth. It notes that the world's proven oil reserves are only 1200 billion barrels and another estimated 600 billion barrels could be extracted from tar sands. However, with 1% annual growth in oil consumption, reserves will be exhausted unless alternatives are developed. It emphasizes that energy costs are rising and highlights opportunities to improve energy efficiency through technologies like solar power, electric motors controlled by frequency inverters, and optimizing pumps and fans to use less energy. The key message is that manufacturing enterprises that consume energy most efficiently will have competitive advantages in the future.

The document discusses climate change and why China may lead on addressing it. It notes that global population and temperatures have risen significantly since the Industrial Revolution. While scientists overwhelmingly agree that human activity is causing climate change, public opinion is more divided. The document argues that only brave leadership can take on the complex, global issue of climate change. It shows that China has become the top carbon emitter but is now investing heavily in renewable energy and low-carbon initiatives. If current trends continue, China may become a catalyst for global climate solutions rather than remaining the largest problem.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a political and economic union consisting of six Arab states in the Persian Gulf region - Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The GCC countries share cultural similarities such as language, music, cuisine and dress. They are also all hereditary monarchies with limited political representation. The GCC aims to achieve coordination, integration and interconnection between member states in all fields.
The document discusses various topics related to crude oil, including:
1) Where oil is found, with Saudi Arabia and Canada having the largest proven reserves, and OPEC being an organization of major oil-exporting nations.
2) The different types of oil classified by weight and chemical properties.
3) Key factors like supply, demand, and price that influence the international oil market.
4) Crude oil production and consumption trends for countries like the US, China, and India.
I believe that ‘sustainable energy’ has become like a catchphrase, which is often misused by people who don’t really know what does ‘sustainability’ really entail. That is why I decided to devote most of this lecture to debunking some of the most common myths that are usually associated when talking about sustainable energy.
Carbon credits are permits that allow the holder to emit one ton of carbon dioxide. They are awarded to countries or groups that have reduced greenhouse gas emissions below their quota and can be traded internationally. A carbon credit represents one ton of carbon dioxide removed from the environment through emission reduction projects. The Kyoto Protocol established mechanisms for countries and companies to trade carbon credits on the international market.
This document discusses global energy trends and projections. It notes that while energy consumption grew at high rates in 2010, constraints from climate change, emerging demand, and shifting primary sources will impact future consumption. Coal, oil and gas will remain significant but renewables are growing rapidly led by wind and solar. Geopolitics will also impact oil production as reserves concentrate in unstable regions. Brazil has large undiscovered oil resources that could allow it to significantly increase production.

1) Global energy consumption and CO2 emissions have risen significantly in recent decades, driven largely by increased use of coal, oil, and natural gas.
2) China now accounts for over half of global coal production and nearly a quarter of CO2 emissions, up dramatically from 18.7% and 5.7% respectively in 1973.
3) At current rates of increase, atmospheric CO2 levels could reach 440 ppm by 2035 and 470 ppm by 2050, contributing to ongoing climate change challenges.
Looking ahead to the big environmental and sustainability stories for 2012. Topics include: What does the U.S. presidential election mean for key environmental issues, including the future of the EPA? What will be the key drivers for renewable energy in 2012? What does China’s upcoming leadership transition mean? How will the expanding global population impact scarce natural resources, including forests? What will happen at the 2012 Earth Summit in Rio?
The document discusses trends in hydropower deployment globally and regionally. It notes that Brazil generates 87.2% of its electricity from renewables, mostly hydro at 81.2%. While Brazil has already developed 34% of its hydro potential, it has an estimated remaining potential of 260 GW, mostly in the Amazon basin. Major new hydro projects like Belo Monte aim to develop this clean energy resource while promoting regional development.
Apresentação do Presidente José Sergio Gabrielli de Azevedo no Ceraweek 2010 ...Petrobras
Petrobras, Brazil's national oil company, expects oil demand to continue growing strongly through 2030. To meet this demand, major investments and technological advances will be needed to develop new resources in challenging environments like ultra-deep water and non-conventional sources. Petrobras itself plans to significantly increase its production, with much of the growth coming from its massive pre-salt oil fields off the coast of Brazil, representing a major technological undertaking. While oil will remain the leading energy source, alternatives like biofuels, electric vehicles, and efficiency gains will increasingly contribute to the global energy mix over the long-term.
The document discusses the growing global challenges of meeting increasing energy and water demands in a sustainable manner. It notes that fossil fuels will continue dominating energy production for the foreseeable future and outlines strategies like improving efficiency, expanding renewable energy sources like solar and wind paired with energy storage, and developing cleaner alternatives to displace coal and gas over time. The document also emphasizes the critical importance of water security and developing solutions that balance energy, environmental, and development needs across countries that share river basins.

Biodiesel is derived from vegetable oils and animal fats. It usually
produces less air pollutants than petroleum‐based diesel – B100,
B5, B10..

Natural gas (CNG) is a fossil fuel that generates less air pollutants
and greenhouse gases.
Propane (LPG), also called liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is a
abundant fossil fuel that generates less harmful air pollutants and
g ee ouse
greenhouse gases.
Hydrogen can be produced from fossil fuels (such as coal, Natural
gas), nuclear power, or renewable resources, such as hydropower.
Electricity can be produced from fossil fuels (such as coal, Natural
gas), nuclear power, or renewable resources, such as hydropower.
