Water Impacts of a Low-Carbon Electric Power Future: Assessment Methodology and StatusCurrent Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 1-9 - 2015
Haibo Zhai, Edward S. Rubin
Water is an integral element of energy production. Future US energy production will increasingly be driven by the need to mitigate climate change, posing complex water challenges. The water impacts of electricity generation in a carbon-constrained future have been a subject of active research. This paper reviews technologies and regulatory policy options for low-carbon electricity generation, incl...... hiện toàn bộ
Distribution System Planning and Innovation for Distributed Energy FuturesCurrent Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 47-54 - 2015
Eric Martinot, Lorenzo Kristov, J. David Erickson
In the future, electric power distribution utilities will need to plan, operate and innovate in a variety of new ways to contend with the changing nature of electricity system resources and opportunities. A distributed energy future leads to changing paradigms, changing needs in planning and innovation by distribution utilities, and changing regulatory directions. The changing paradigm encompasses...... hiện toàn bộ
Current State of Anaerobic Digestion of Organic Wastes in North AmericaCurrent Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 136-144 - 2015
Jessica L. Linville, Yanwen Shen, May M. Wu, Meltem Urgun-Demirtas
With the large volumes of organic waste produced in the USA each year (78.7 million tons of organic municipal solid waste, 335 million tons of animal manure, and 130 million tons of biosolids), there is potential to develop a viable biogas industry via anaerobic digestion (AD) that can boost the economy and provide a reliable, distributed source of renewable energy while reducing greenhouse gas em...... hiện toàn bộ
Mobility and Energy Impacts of Shared Automated Vehicles: a Review of Recent LiteratureCurrent Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 193-200 - 2019
Susan Shaheen, Mohamed Amine Bouzaghrane
The purpose of this review is to present findings from recent research on Shared automated vehicles (SAV) impacts on mobility and energy. While the literature on potential SAV impacts on travel behavior and the environment is still developing, researchers have suggested that SAVs could reduce transportation costs and incur minimal increases in total trip time due to efficient routing to support po...... hiện toàn bộ
Equity in Renewable Energy Technology Adoption in China: a Review of the Social-Psychological and Demographic BarriersCurrent Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 8 - Trang 91-100 - 2021
Hannah Nelson, Chien-fei Chen, Jiayi Li
Renewable energy research in China often underestimates the impact of non-technical or human factors on adoption, as well as the impacts of these factors on energy inequality. This review investigates how social-psychological and demographic factors influence the adoption of electric vehicles, photovoltaic panels, solar water heaters, and smart home technology, especially in rural China.
