Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are an engineer by trade, an energy policymaker, or an investor, and you hear the term "Energy Strategy," what immediately comes to mind? Now, if you are not directly dealing with energy or strategy, does the term "Energy Strategy" sound like a new way to get a higher price for a liter of gasoline?Practical examples from Energy, Strategy, Blockchain, and Circular Economy demonstrate the feasibility of experimental thinking by using known tools and processes from the industry and connecting these already well-known concepts to innovative and beyond-state-of-the-art thinking.To facilitate reading and understanding, the book has been divided into four parts: Part a: Energy Strategy ModelingPart b: Guide to Blockchain and Fuzzy logicPart c: Recovering waste energy Part d: Importance to HydrogenHowever, it must be mentioned that the aim of this book is not to cover all scientific details, but it should provide evidence for the way it's done now, the way we'd suggest, and some alternative ways we might be able to do it. In some cases, we use the FERMI approach for easy approximation, and in other cases we use initial conceptual formulas that of course need to be further developed when models need to be fully designed and implemented in new or existing industrial environments. Because of its interdisciplinarity and its easily kept explanatory texts, this book should be used as a key introduction into and a reference book for energy and energy-related subjects for energy policy-makers, undergraduate and graduate studies, engineers, as well as casual readers.

Download or read book Local Energy Communities written by Gilles Debizet and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on social science analysis to understand the ongoing dynamics within and surrounding local energy communities in reliably electrified countries: Belgium, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. It offers a comprehensive overview of recent results and thus outlines a diversity of drivers and levers for scaling up energy communities or, at least, local energy sharing. Analysing the main types of energy communities such as collective self-consumption, citizen cooperatives and peer-to-peer digital platforms, the book does not only raise new questions for social scientists, but also offers a comprehensive overview for all those contributing to the circular economy and the decentralization of energy production in inhabited areas where energy consumption is concentrated. This book provides input for the ongoing debates in many European countries implementing the national law on the European directives for energy communities. Furthermore, without evading the antagonism between cooperative and market approaches, or the contradictions between different issues, the book outlines the innovative decision-making tools that can facilitate the development of local energy production and sharing systems. As well as being of interest to postgraduates and researchers in the field of energy studies, this book will be vital to energy professionals looking to support local energy communities’ decision-making and design, who wish to consider sociological, organizational and territorial dimensions.
Download or read book Circular Economy and the Energy Market written by Hasan Dinçer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-28 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy policies play a pivotal part in helping countries achieve their sustainable development goals. Further, energy is one of the critical raw materials in companies’ production processes. Therefore, ensuring a steady energy supply is essential to increasing production; otherwise, countries will inevitably slide into recession. In this context, countries should select their energy policies on the basis of a comprehensive analysis. In order to achieve this goal, many different factors must be considered at the same time. The aim of this book is to determine the right energy policies for the sustainable economic development of countries. In this framework, effective strategies for different types of energy will be presented and vital issues such as determining the right locations for nuclear power plants, providing optimal government incentives to increase clean energy investments, and determining appropriate energy policies to reduce energy dependence will be examined. Thus, country-specific optimal energy policies will be outlined, contributing to the achievement of the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDG).

Download or read book Circular Economy written by Natalya Ketenci and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental degradation in the world is one of discussing problems in the literature for many decades. There are a lot of factors discussed that worsen our environment. Environmental degradation due to the pollution from fossil fuels induce countries to decrease their use, however, until the productivity of renewable resources reaches the necessary level, countries continue to be highly dependent on non-renewable sources. Another important issue is increasing waste in all spheres of our life. One of the solutions for the environmental degradation slowdown is in circular economy. The circular economy aims to produce as less waste as possible by reusing materials in new productions. The circular economy is becoming part of many different sectors of an economy. This book discusses and analyzes different sectors that are starting to be involved in the circular economy process in Turkey.
