Modelling the effect of different agricultural practices on stream nitrogen load in central GermanyEnergy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 6 - Trang 1-16 - 2016
Seifeddine Jomaa, Sanyuan Jiang, Daniela Thraen, Michael Rode
Understanding the response of nitrogen fluxes to changes in land use and agricultural practices is crucial for improving the instream water quality prediction. In central Germany, the expansion of bioenergy crops during the last decade led to an increase in fertiliser application rates. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of agricultural management changes on the stream nitrogen...... hiện toàn bộ
Are claims of cheap muon production correct?Energy, Sustainability and Society -
Klavs Hansen, J. Engelen
Abstract
Background
Muon catalyzed fusion is a process, whereby isotopes of hydrogen undergo nuclear fusion thanks to a muon replacing an electron bringing the nuclei within fusion distance. The muon is then ejected and can facilitate a next fusion process. ‘Break even’ has not been achieved yet in ...... hiện toàn bộ
Fresh banana pseudo-stems as a tropical lignocellulosic feedstock for methane productionEnergy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 6 - Trang 1-9 - 2016

The banana pseudo-stem is a low-lignin-content lignocellulosic biomass that can be used for methane production. In recent years, anaerobic digestion (AD) of dried banana stems for methane production has attracted considerable attention. However, there is limited information regarding methane production from the fresh banana pseudo-stem. The direct usability of fresh banana stems as a resource for ...... hiện toàn bộ
Analyzing long-term empirical interactions between renewable energy generation, energy use, human capital, and economic performance in PakistanEnergy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 9 - Trang 1-14 - 2019
Nousheen Fatima, Yanbin Li, Munir Ahmad, Gul Jabeen, Xiaoyu Li
The current research attempts to systematically investigate the causal interactions between renewable energy generation, aggregated energy use, human capital, and economic performance in Pakistan both in a short-term and long-term test for the period of 1990–2016. As a primary step, a unit root analysis was conducted employing, among others, an augmented Dickey-Fuller-generalized least squares (AD...... hiện toàn bộ
Renewable energy in emergent countries: lessons from energy transition in MoroccoEnergy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 7 - Trang 1-11 - 2017
Karim Choukri, Ahmed Naddami, Sanaa Hayani
Morocco, which has no conventional energy resources, depends entirely on the international primary energy market to satisfy its growing demand due to its economic growth and demographic progression. The country imports the majority of its energy source supply. Morocco has implemented an important energy strategy that supports the country’s transition to renewable energy and energy efficiency that ...... hiện toàn bộ
Localized vs. synchronized exports across a highly renewable pan‐European transmission networkEnergy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 5 - Trang 1-9 - 2015
Rolando A. Rodriguez, Magnus Dahl, Sarah Becker, Martin Greiner
A future, highly renewable electricity system will be largely based on fluctuating renewables. The integration of wind and solar photovoltaics presents a major challenge. Transmission can be used to lower the need for complementary generation, which we term backup in this article. Generation data based on historical weather data, combined with real load data, determine hourly mismatch timeseries f...... hiện toàn bộ
Solar energy implementation at the household level: Gaza Strip case studyEnergy, Sustainability and Society - Tập 12 - Trang 1-19 - 2022
Hala J. El-Khozondar, Fady El-batta
The Gaza Strip in Palestine is currently facing a serious electrical power deficit due to the local political situation. In addition, the main source of energy in Gaza Strip is traditional fossil fuel which is environmentally harmful. To ensure that electrical power in the Gaza Strip can be maintained continuously without any day-long power failures is a challenging task for decision-makers. The l...... hiện toàn bộ
