Green tech cost assessments must be country-specific
Designing efficient mechanisms for allocating climate funds to the developing world will require country-specific assessments of the cost of scaling up renewable energy technologies, says climate researcher Michael Jakob. Developing countries need financial support to help them adopt low-carbon technologies. Industrialised countries should cover the cost, according to the UN Framework Convention ...

Reversing governments dysfunctional energy policy
We have known for a very long time that we should “Reduce Before You Produce” as a matter of practice regarding all forms of energy. National, state, and local governments have largely missed the message and that comes at a huge cost nationwide that make it much harder to reach energy demand and carbon emission reduction goals. It has been proven in many energy efficiency measure ...

Deploying wind power in Australia: a socio-technical analysis
Conventional explanations for Australia's historically scant use of wind energy in power generation have focused on wind power's cost and undesirable technical characteristics (particularly intermittency). This paper argues for a more comprehensive explanatory framework, drawing on insights from the Social Shaping of Technology. This framework combines contextual historical and interpretive ...

Renewable Energy - A Key Solution to End Global Warming
Scientists have spent years trying to find the causes of global warming leading to significant changes in the world’s climate. Their research shows that several factors have contributed to the rise of earth’s temperature and altering of natural cycles and actions. One key reason is excessive emission of greenhouse gases like, methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. These ...

Technical and economic evaluation and feasibility study of biomass energy
The urgent need for the reduction of harmful environmental impact during energy production necessitates research for efficient, economically feasible energy production processes. The wide spreading of energy coming from renewable energy sources with low or zero emission levels, such as wind energy, solar energy, hydro-energy and biomass, is the most promising solution to the problem. This study ...

Innovating the innovators: the case for transformational energy Research and Development
This paper asks three interconnected questions: What type of energy R&D promotes long-term, transformative innovation? Which types of research do energy R&D organisations predominately practice? What are the consequences of their approaches? The paper begins by distinguishing between incremental and transformative R&D. Then, it documents five emerging energy challenges facing the USA and the ...

Reducing costs of emerging renewable energy technologies – an analysis of the dynamic development with wind power as case study
Renewable energy is considered important to improve environmental performance and the long-term security of energy supply. As most renewable energy technologies are not competitive in conventional power markets, they need public support in order to become so. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and understand the dynamic structure in development of renewable energy technologies in connection ...
