Download or read book An analysis of current and future electricity production from biogas in Germany written by Balussou, David and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work a process simulation model identifies the most profitable German biogas plant types and sizes. Small manure and large-scale biowaste plants are currently the most economically attractive installations whereas the valorization of energy crops turns out to be unprofitable. Future developments are assessed with the help of a regional optimization model under constraints. Capacity expansion concerns small-scale manure and biowaste installations rather than plants based on energy crops.

Download or read book Logistics Matters and the U S Army in Occupied Germany 1945 1949 written by Lee Kruger and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the U. S. Army’s presence in Germany after the Nazi regime’s capitulation in May 1945. This presence required the pursuit of two stated missions: to secure German borders, and to establish an occupation government within the assigned U.S. zone and sector of Berlin. Both missions required logistics support, a critical aspect often understated in existing scholarship. The security mission, covered by the combat troops, declined between 1945 and 1948, but grew again with the Berlin Blockade/Airlift in 1948, and then again with the Korean crisis in 1950. The logistics mission grew exponentially to support this security mission, as the U.S. Army was the only U.S. Government agency possessing the ability and resources to initially support the occupation mission in Germany. The build-up of ‘Little Americas’ during the occupation years stood forward-deployed U.S. military forces in Europe in good stead over the ensuing decades.
