Majority of China’s proposed coal-fired power plants located in water-stressed regions
To maintain its economic growth and provide for its massive population, China must reconcile two powerful, converging trends: energy demand and resource scarcity. One prime example of this tension is the country’s coal use and water supply. According to a new WRI analysis, more than half of China’s proposed coal-fired power plants are slated to be built in areas of high or extremely ...

The Smart Grid ‘Acid Test’ – Accommodating Variable Renewable Energy (VRE)
In the previous posts, we have discussed the need for the regulators and policy makers to develop a new framework on which to build Smart Grid. The next stage is to investigate how much VRE can be accommodated through Smart Grid. Maximising the amount of VRE that can be accommodated is the ‘Acid Test’ for Smart Grid. We are moving from a central system that provides consistent power ...

Exports, energy and the environment in China: an input–output perspective
This paper investigates how the changing structure of Chinese foreign trade has impacted on employment, energy–intensity and the environment in recent years. Our findings indicate a considerable fall in both employment and energy intensity. A fall in employment intensity appears to be mainly due to an increase in the exports of assembly items which are relatively less unskilled employment ...

End-user GHG emissions from energy: Reallocation of emissions from energy industries to end users 2005 -2010
The objective of this report (1) is to help improve the understanding of past greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends in the energy sector from the demand or end.user side. To do this, the report develops a methodology to redistribute emissions from energy industries to the final users (by sector) of that energy. This reallocation is done on the basis of Eurostat's energy balances and GHG ...

Scenarios for the role of hydrogen in a future energy system based on renewable energy
An all-renewable energy system for a group of North European countries is investigated by temporal simulation of the demand-supply matching for various system configurations. The role of hydrogen technologies for energy storage and fuel cell applications is studied and applied to both stationary and transportation sectors. It is shown that there is scope for considerable amounts of energy trade ...

Prospects for nuclear energy in South Asia in the 21st century
The South Asian region is characterised by low per capita energy consumption. There are large differences in the region with regard to energy resource endowments. In the entire region one notices an excessive use of non-commercial energy. The region has significant hydro-potential, which needs to be fully exploited. There are possibilities for trade in energy in the region. India is the largest ...

Environmental policies and the trade of energy technologies in Europe
Environmental regulation may represent a relevant mechanism through which technological change is induced. In this way, countries that are subject to more stringent environmental regulations may become net exporters of environmental technologies. This paper provides new evidence on the evolution of trade flows of specific environmental technologies for the energy sector, related to the production ...

Factoring energy security into Australian foreign and trade policy: Has luck run out?
When energy prices rose dramatically in the 1970s, the impact on Australia was cushioned by two developments: the timely discovery of domestic oil in Bass Strait; and of the Japanese conversion to thermal coal. With falling oil imports and expanding coal exports, Australia emerged as a net energy exporter. But both these forms of good luck are now running out ? and at a time when free market ...
