While the authors agree that to refer to the difference between annual energy use associated with current practice and that of the rebated measure is not purely net savings, they disagree about which solutions to recommend.Keywords: gross savings, net savings, counterfactual, baseline definitions, net–to–gross ratio, NTGR, industrial ecology, energy codes, energy ...
In this paper, exergy-based industrial ecology concept is demonstrated in terms of exergetic rate of resource depletion by analysing two different combined heat and power productions systems: the CGAM system and a Diesel Engine Powered Cogeneration (DEPC) system. The analysis indicates that exergy-based industrial ecology concept ...
The study revealed that there is no significant adverse impact on the ecology due to the project activities on account of the preventive actions taken and continuous monitoring by the power plant. ...
Had policy-makers applied the principles of industrial symbiosis rather than adopting a silo mentality when shaping a policy with respect to bio-fuels, they could have avoided many of these unintended detrimental consequences.Keywords: biofuels, UK Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation, RTFO, industrial symbiosis, biofuel feedstock, greenhouse gases, GHG, world ...

Exergy analysis can help integrate separate technologies following the principles of industrial ecology. An application of exergy analysis to calculate depletion numbers, which relate exergy destruction and total exergy use, is demonstrated for a gas turbine cycle combined with a hydrogen generation unit. ...
This article comprehensively analyses the efficiency of the oil shale energy industry from mining to end use. The overall efficiency of oil shale energetics was estimated to be less than 20% (17% in 2002), with the losses attributed to wasting of co-produced thermal energy, coupled with substantial inefficiencies in the mining of oil shale. The Estonian oil shale energy sector is ...
This objective can be achieved only by way of all-planetary cooperation along the direction of the ecologically clean vector 'hydrogen energy → hydrogen economy → hydrogen civilisation'. The HyCi concept includes three constituent, mutually conditional parts: industrial–ecological, humanitarian–cultural and ...
Combining strategic management, innovation management and organisational ecology theories, we try to review and explain the development of product innovation or process innovation through organisational knowledge interactions between two or more firms. ...
