  • Biomass Basics: the Facts About Bioenergy 1 We Rely on Energy Every Day
    Biomass Basics: The Facts About Bioenergy 1 We Rely on Energy Every Day Energy is essential in our daily lives. We use it to fuel our cars, grow our food, heat our homes, and run our businesses. Most of our energy comes from burning fossil fuels like petroleum, coal, and natural gas. These fuels provide the energy that we need today, but there are several reasons why we are developing sustainable alternatives. 2 We are running out of fossil fuels Fossil fuels take millions of years to form within the Earth. Once we use up our reserves of fossil fuels, we will be out in the cold - literally - unless we find other fuel sources. Bioenergy, or energy derived from biomass, is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels because it can be produced from renewable sources, such as plants and waste, that can be continuously replenished. Fossil fuels, such as petroleum, need to be imported from other countries Some fossil fuels are found in the United States but not enough to meet all of our energy needs. In 2014, 27% of the petroleum consumed in the United States was imported from other countries, leaving the nation’s supply of oil vulnerable to global trends. When it is hard to buy enough oil, the price can increase significantly and reduce our supply of gasoline – affecting our national security. Because energy is extremely important to our economy, it is better to produce energy in the United States so that it will always be available when we need it. Use of fossil fuels can be harmful to humans and the environment When fossil fuels are burned, they release carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere.

  • Renewable Energy Resorces for Climate Change Mitigation
    Raghuvanshi et al.: Renewable energy resources for climate change mitigation - 15 - RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION S.P. RAGHUVANSHI * – A.K. RAGHAV – A. CHANDRA Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi, India. (phone : +91-11-26591227) *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] (Received 13rd November 2006 ; accepted 4 th July 2007) Abstract. Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest challenge by all the nations, government, business and citizens of the globe. The threats of climate change on our green planet ‘Earth’ demands that renewable energy share in the total energy generation and consumption should be substantially increased as a matter of urgency. India’s energy development programme has been put under severe pressure with the ever-increasing demand supply gap. Due to predominance of fossil fuels in the generation mix, there are large negative environmental externalities caused by electricity generation. So it has become imperative to develop and promote alternative energy sources that can lead to sustainability of energy and environment system. Renewable electricity has become synonymous with CO2 reduction. Present communication provides a brief description about such alternative and sustained energy sources, i.e., renewable energy resources, their potential and achievements in India. Also role as important tool for climate change mitigation . Keywords: Renewable energy, GHGs, Climate change, Carbon dioxide, mitigation Introduction Climate change has implications for both human and natural systems and could lead to significant changes in resource use production and economic activity. In response to the impact and possible affects of climate change international, regional, national and local initiatives are being developed and implemented to limit and mitigate GHGs concentration in the Earth’s atmosphere.

  • Recycled Carbon Fuels in the Renewable Energy Directive Introduction
    POLICY BRIEFING RECYCLED CARBON FUELS IN THE RENEWABLE ENERGY DIRECTIVE INTRODUCTION The revised Renewable Energy Directive1 (REDII) establishes a common framework for the promotion of energy from renewable sources in the electricity, heating and cooling, and transport sectors for the 2021-2030 period. As a part of the transport target, member states may choose to include “Recycled Carbon Fuels.” The REDII includes liquid and gaseous fuels that are either produced from (a) liquid or solid waste streams of non-renewable origin or (b) from waste processing gas and exhaust gas of non-renewable origin as part of the definition of “recycled carbon fuels.”2 This means that fuels derived from non-renewable waste streams (such as fossil wastes like plastic, rubber, gaseous wastes etc.) could be promoted through transport targets and support schemes, despite recognition that they cannot be considered to contribute to overall renewable energy targets. This briefing highlights key concerns and recommendations to ensure that the REDII is implemented in a way that decarbonises transport fuels in a sustainable manner. 1 Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable source (Renewable Energy Directive) 2 ‘recycled carbon fuels’ means liquid and gaseous fuels that are produced from liquid or solid waste streams of non-renewable origin which are not suitable for material recovery in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 2008/98/EC, or from waste processing gas and exhaust gas of non-renewable origin which are produced as an unavoidable and unintentional consequence of the production process in industrial installations.

Natural gas is replacing other fossil fuels in our energy mix. One way to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) impact of fossil natural gas is to replace it with renewable natural gas (RNG). The benefits of utilizing RNG are that it has no climate change impact when combusted and utilized in the same applications as fossil natural gas. RNG can be injected into the gas grid, used as a transportation fuel, or used for heating and electricity generation. Less common applications include utilizing RNG to produce chemicals, such as methanol, dimethyl ether, and ammonia. The GHG impact should be quantified before committing to RNG. This study quantifies the potential production of biogas (i.e., Citation: Taboada, S.; Clark, L.; the precursor to RNG) and RNG from agricultural and waste sources in New York State (NYS).

  • Pathways to Sustainable Energy Accelerating Energy Transition in the UNECE Region
    UNEC E Pathways to Sustainable Energy Accelerating Energy Transition in the UNECE Region Energy underpins economic development and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and has a critical role to play in climate change mitigation. The recognition of the role that energy plays in modern society is highly signicant, however, there remains an important disconnection between agreed energy and climate targets and the Pathways to Sustainable Energy • Accelerating Transition in the UNECE Region approaches in place today to achieve them. Only international cooperation and innovation can deliver the accelerated and more ambitious strategies. Policies will be needed to ll the persistent gaps to achieve the 2030 Agenda. If the gaps are not addressed urgently, progressively more drastic and expensive measures will be required to avoid extreme and potentially unrecoverable social impacts as countries try to cope with climate change. This report uniquely focuses on sustainable energy in the UNECE region up to 2050 as regional economic cooperation is an important factor in achieving sustainable energy. Arriving at a state of attaining sustainable energy is a complex social, political, economic and technological challenge. The UNECE countries have not agreed on how collectively they will achieve energy for sustainable development. Given the role of the UNECE to promote economic cooperation it is important to explore the implications of dierent sustainable energy pathways and for countries to work together on developing and deploying policies and measures.

  • Renewable Natural Gas
    RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS Renewable natural gas (RNG) transforms organic waste into renewable energy that can be delivered through existing infrastructure to fuel fleets and heat homes What’s RNG? A recent report found that adding 25% RNG into the existing natural Renewable natural gas (RNG) is gas system for use in heating homes and businesses can help Oregon produced from organic materials and Washington achieve these climate goals while avoiding significant i like food leftovers, municipal sewage, infrastructure costs and risks . Locally produced RNG can also create livestock manure, landfills, and woody economic opportunities for our communities. residues from forestry and agriculture. The Oregon Department of Energy, in its first inventory of technical potential, It can be stored and delivered via estimates enough feedstock statewide to produce 50 billion cubic feet (BCF) the existing natural gas system for of RNG. That’s equivalent to the amount of natural gas used by all Oregon use in space and water heating, residential customers today. cooking, process loads and any other natural gas application. It can also be On the road to clean with CNG compressed and used as a low-carbon, Compressed natural gas (CNG) provides a low-carbon and clean-air clean alternative fuel in the heavy-duty option for heavy-duty vehicles. Natural gas engines with near-zero transportation sector. emission technology produce 90% fewer nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions than even the cleanest diesel engines, without harmful particulate Turning waste into matter from diesel exhaust. renewable energy Conventional CNG delivers a 20% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions Waste from landfills, dairy farms and compared to diesel, while renewable CNG can go beyond 100% emissions wastewater treatment plants releases savings in some cases.
