Technological Learning in the Transition to a Low-Carbon Energy System
Author: Martin Junginger
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128187638
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Technological Learning in the Transition to a Low-Carbon Energy System: Conceptual Issues, Empirical Findings, and Use in Energy Modeling quantifies key trends and drivers of energy technologies deployed in the energy transition. It uses the experience curve tool to show how future cost reductions and cumulative deployment of these technologies may shape the future mix of the electricity, heat and transport sectors. The book explores experience curves in detail, including possible pitfalls, and demonstrates how to quantify the 'quality' of experience curves. It discusses how this tool is implemented in models and addresses methodological challenges and solutions. For each technology, current market trends, past cost reductions and underlying drivers, available experience curves, and future prospects are considered. Electricity, heat and transport sector models are explored in-depth to show how the future deployment of these technologies—and their associated costs—determine whether ambitious decarbonization climate targets can be reached - and at what costs. The book also addresses lessons and recommendations for policymakers, industry and academics, including key technologies requiring further policy support, and what scientific knowledge gaps remain for future research. - Provides a comprehensive overview of trends and drivers for major energy technologies expected to play a role in the energy transition - Delivers data on cost trends, helping readers gain insights on how competitive energy technologies may become, and why - Reviews the use of learning curves in environmental impacts for lifecycle assessments and energy modeling - Features social learning for cost modeling and technology diffusion, including where consumer preferences play a major role

Advances in Carbon Management Technologies
Author: Subhas Sikdar
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429516754
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
Advances in Carbon Management Technologies comprises 43 chapters contributed by experts from all over the world. Volume 1 of the book, containing 23 chapters, discusses the status of technologies capable of yielding substantial reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from major combustion sources. Such technologies include renewable energy sources that can replace fossil fuels and technologies to capture CO2 after fossil fuel combustion or directly from the atmosphere, with subsequent permanent long-term storage. The introductory chapter emphasizes the gravity of the issues related to greenhouse gas emissionglobal temperature correlation, the state of the art of key technologies and the necessary emission reductions needed to meet international warming targets. Section 1 deals with global challenges associated with key fossil fuel mitigation technologies, including removing CO2 from the atmosphere, and emission measurements. Section 2 presents technological choices for coal, petroleum, and natural gas for the purpose of reducing carbon footprints associated with the utilization of such fuels. Section 3 deals with promising contributions of alternatives to fossil fuels, such as hydropower, nuclear, solar photovoltaics, and wind. Chapter 19 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This book presents the results of the OC-DDC 2018. Successful participants have been invited to extend their abstracts submitted to the event towards a full book chapter by taking reviews and feedback received at the event in Wurzburg into account. The participants prepared an initial extended abstract, helped to perform a sophisticated review process, and finally came up with interesting articles summarising their current work in the context of Organic Computing. Hence, the book also gives an overview of corresponding research activities in the field in Germany for the year 2018. The collection of contributions reflects the diversity of the different aspects of Organic Computing. In the following, we outline the contributions contained in this book.

Academic Flying and the Means of Communication
Author: Kristian Bjørkdahl
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811649111
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
This open access book shines a light on how and why academic work became entwined with air travel, and what can be done to change academia’s flying habit. The starting point of the book is that flying is only one means of scholarly communication among many, and that the state of the planet now obliges us to shift to other means. How can the academic-as-globetrotter become a thing of the past? The chapters in this book respond to this call in three steps. It documents the consequences of academic flying, it investigates the issue of why academics fly, and it begins an effort to think through what can replace flying, and how. Finally, it confronts scholars and scientists, students, activists, research funders, university administrators, and others, with a call to translate this research into action.
