The model considers energy demand from the power, heat, industry, transport, chemical, and desalination sectors as well as an estimation of the non-energetic feedstock demand of the chemical sector.

  • Passivhaus in the UK: the Challenges of an Emerging Market a Case Study of Innovation Using Mixed Methods Research
    UCL Passivhaus in the UK: The Challenges of an Emerging Market A Case Study of Innovation using Mixed Methods Research Henrietta Lynch I would like to thank everybody who has helped me with this thesis. Personal Statement Henrietta has a multi-disciplinary built environment design background. She has degree and masters level academic qualifications in Fine Art, Architecture, Lighting Design and Environmental Design and Engineering. During her career she has worked with designers, architects and engineers in the UK and Germany. In addition to this she has also taught in UK higher education as a visiting lecturer at the University of Westminster, School of Architecture and the Built Environment (SABE), University College London (UCL) and as a lecturer at The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) and at the University of Hertfordshire. 1 ‘The principle lesson perhaps being that, while it is all too easy for me to carp on about what is wrong with the Passivhaus standard, or why it is not quite the dog’s bollocks (try translating that!), they have built loads of them. And the more they build, the less theoretical it becomes and the more practical it appears. Whereas we may be full of good intentions, the Germans (and the Austrians, who seem to be even more enamoured of Passivhaus than the Germans) have now built around 6,000’ (Brinkley, 2007) 2 Abstract In 2006 the UK government announced policy intentions and introduced associated building design standards and up-dated Building Regulations for all new housing to be ‘zero carbon’ by 2016 and all new non-domestic buildings to be ‘zero carbon’ by 2019.

  • World Energy Outlook 2019 Executive Summary Executive Summary
    World Energy Outlook 2019 Executive Summary Executive Summary The energy world is marked by a series of deep disparities. The gap between the promise of energy for all and the fact that almost one billion people still do not have access to electricity. The gap between the latest scientific evidence highlighting the need for ever- more-rapid cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions and the data showing that energy- related emissions hit another historic high in 2018. The gap between expectations of fast, renewables-driven energy transitions and the reality of today’s energy systems in which reliance on fossil fuels remains stubbornly high. And the gap between the calm in well- supplied oil markets and the lingering unease over geopolitical tensions and uncertainties. More than ever, energy decision makers need to take a hard, evidence-based look at where they stand and the implications of the choices they make. The World Energy Outlook does not provide a forecast of what will happen. Instead, it provides a set of scenarios that explore different possible futures, the actions – or inactions – that bring them about and the interconnections between different parts of the system. Understanding our scenarios The Current Policies Scenario shows what happens if the world continues along its present path, without any additional changes in policy. In this scenario, energy demand rises by 1.3% each year to 2040, with increasing demand for energy services unrestrained by further efforts to improve efficiency. While this is well below the remarkable 2.3% growth seen in 2018, it would result in a relentless upward march in energy-related emissions, as well as growing strains on almost all aspects of energy security.

Bookmark not defined. Page | 2 Executive Summary This paper will discuss the similarities and differences of the renewable energy industry in the cities of Bonn, Germany, and Los Angeles, California. Bonn has been a global leader in the fight against climate change but their high ranking has been compromised. This report discusses the reasons for this negative shift and delves into the positive impacts in the overall renewable energy trend that Germany has made. Bonn is compared to Los Angeles, one of the lower-ranked cities when it comes to the topic of climate change, due to the pollution and nonrenewable energy the city uses. Recommendations are made for each city based on the research conducted. Topics that will be discussed in this paper include: • Analysis of the renewable energy industry • Germany’s Engeriewende policy • The Paris Climate Agreement & criticism of Germany • Differences and similarities in energy policies between the United States and Germany • Climates of each country • Energy consumption by country (Germany vs.

Sastry (India), Yohji Uchiyama (Japan), and Richard van den Broek (Netherlands) ABSTRACT In 1998 renewable energy sources supplied 56 ± 10 exajoules, or about 14 percent of world primary energy consumption. The supply was dominated by traditional biomass (38 ± 10 exajoules a year). Other major contributions came from large hydropower (9 exajoules a year) and from modern biomass (7 exajoules). The contribution of all other renewables—small hydropower, geothermal, wind, solar, and marine energy—was about 2 exajoules. That means that the energy supply from new renewables was about 9 exajoules (about 2 percent of world consumption). The commercial primary energy supply from renewable sources was 27 ± 6 exajoules (nearly 7 percent of world consumption), with 16 ± 6 exajoules from biomass. Renewable energy sources can meet many times the present world energy demand, so their potential is enormous. They can enhance diversity in energy supply markets, secure long-term sustainable energy supplies, and reduce local and global atmospheric emissions. They can also provide commercially attractive options to meet specific needs for energy services (particularly in developing countries and rural areas), create new employment opportunities, and offer possibilities for local manufacturing of equipment.
