Book excerpt: Este trabajo consiste en el estudio del estado actual en México de la investigación en energías renovables y el análisis de las políticas energéticas impulsadas recientemente a través de la Reforma Energética 2014, centrando el análisis de dicha reforma en su afectación al impulso y fortalecimiento de la investigación en nuevas formas de energía que lleven a la necesaria transición energética. Primeramente, se mencionan las diferentes formas de energías renovables que se disponen actualmente y las respectivas tecnologías desarrolladas para su aprovechamiento. Se presenta pues el estado actual de la técnica en materia de energías limpias a nivel global i general. En los dos capítulos siguientes se describe el estado actual de las energías renovables en el mundo y en el contexto concreto de México, respectivamente. Se contextualiza la problemática concreta de México enfrente los combustibles fósiles y se muestra la situación actual de la industria y la producción de energía renovable en la república. El quinto capítulo describe el marco legal que supone la Reforma Energética 2014 a grandes rasgos y se profundiza en el análisis y repercusión de ésta en el sector eléctrico en general y en las energías renovables en concreto. En el siguiente capítulo se encuentra la información referente al panorama mexicano en investigación científica y tecnológica en materia de energías limpias y sustentables. Se estudia la red nacional de investigación y las relaciones que mantiene con la estrategia energética gubernamental. En el último capítulo se presentan las actuales perspectivas globales para el logro de un desarrollo sostenible en nuestras sociedades y los acuerdos mundiales que hay establecidos para trabajar en ese sentido. Finalmente, se presentan como conclusiones la falta de incidencia de la estudiada Reforma Energética 2014 en la Ley de Ciéncia y Tecnologia, actual legisladora del sistema nacional de investigación científica y desarrollo tecnológico, así cómo el avance de las políticas neoliberales que dicha reforma supone. Se plantea la necesidad pues, de un nuevo pacto social alrededor del reparto de la riqueza producida por el sector energético y de su redistrubición hacia factores estratégicamente claves para el desarrollo del sector energético, tales como educación e infraestructura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde hace tiempo, las energías renovables, solar, eólico, biomasa, geotérmia, hidráulica y del mar, están ganando terreno en los medios de comunicación y en las agendas políticas de muchos países del mundo. Pero, ¿Qué son? ¿Sobre qué principios físicos se basan? ¿Qué tecnologías usan? Durante décadas la relación entre energía y medio ambiente se trató exclusivamente en círculos de expertos y en reuniones políticas de alto nivel, hasta que en 1992 las Naciones Unidas convocaron a la "Cumbre de la Tierra" en Río de Janeiro que llevó a la firma de la Convención Marco de Naciones Unidas sobre Cambio Climático y luego, en 1997, al Protocolo de Kioto, que estableció metas vinculantes para los países industrializados de reducción de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, principales responsables del cambio climático. Hoy en día, el 86% de la energía eléctrica en el mundo es suministrada por centrales que consumen petróleo, carbón mineral o gas natural que, al quemarse, liberan a la atmósfera millones de toneladas de dióxido de carbono cada año. Es por esto que la problemática de la energía, la degradación del medio ambiente y el desarrollo económico están fuertemente vinculados. El mundo está en la búsqueda de un nuevo modelo de desarrollo que sea sustentable económica, social y ambientalmente y en este escenario, las energías renovables surgen como una alternativa viable para alcanzar dicho objetivo. Dentro de este contexto, el libro fue concebido a fin de iniciar al lector no técnico en la comprensión de las tecnologías de las energías renovables, de forma amena y entendible, enfocado en el tratamiento de estas fuentes de energía aplicadas a las redes eléctricas, sin detallar la autogeneración domiciliaria de la misma. El libro explica de manera amena y entendible, sin desarrollos matemáticos, los conceptos físicos y las tecnologías usadas para generar energía solar, eólica, biomasa, geotérmica, hidráulica y del mar. El primer capítulo define, clasifica y enumera las energías renovables. El capítulo 2 expone el concepto de energía, la estructura de la materia, las magnitudes eléctricas fundamentales y los principios físicos que sustentan la generación eléctrica. Los capítulos 3 a 9 explican detalladamente el funcionamiento, las ventajas y los inconvenientes de la energía fotovoltaica, termosolar, eólica, de biomasa, hidroeléctrica, mareomotriz, undomotriz y geotérmica. Finalmente, el capítulo 10 compila las últimas investigaciones y desarrollos sobre energías renovables y los últimos adelantos tecnológicos en almacenamiento de energía y combustibles verdes.

Download or read book Global Investment Competitiveness Report 2017 2018 written by World Bank Group and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Investment Competitiveness report presents new insights and evidence on drivers of foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries, and FDI’s role in development. The report’s survey of 750 executives of multinational corporations finds that a business-friendly legal and regulatory environment is a key driver of investment decisions in developing countries, along with political stability, security, and macroeconomic conditions. The report’s topic-specific chapters explore the potential of FDI to create new growth opportunities for local firms, assess the power of tax holidays and other fiscal incentives to attract FDI, analyze characteristics of FDI originating in developing countries, and examine the experience of foreign investors in countries affected by conflict and fragility. Three key features of this Global Investment Competitiveness report distinguish it from other publications on FDI. First, its insights are based on a combination of first-hand perspectives of investors, extensive analysis of available data and evidence, and international good practices in investment policy design and implementation. Secondly, rather than exploring broad FDI trends, the report provides detailed and unique analysis of FDI depending on its motivation, sector, geographic origin and destination, and phase of investment. Thirdly, the report offers practical and actionable recommendations to policymakers in developing countries wishing to reform their business climates for increased investment competitiveness. As such, the report is meant to complement other knowledge products of the World Bank Group focused even more explicitly on country-level data, detailed reform diagnostics, and presentation of best practices. We are confident this report will bring value and fresh perspectives to a variety of audiences. To governments and policymakers, including investment promotion professionals, the report offers direct insights into the role of government policies and actions in investors’ decision-making. To foreign investors and site location consultants, the report provides information on FDI trends and drivers across sectors and geographies. For academic audiences, the new datasets on investment incentives and FDI motivations enables opportunities for additional research and analysis. Lastly, for development assistance providers and other stakeholders, the report highlights key approaches for maximizing FDI’s benefits for development.
Download or read book The Research System in Transition written by Susan E. Cozzens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a mountainside in sunny Tuscany, in October 1989, 96 people from 23 countries on five continents gathered to learn and teach about the problems of managing contemporary science. The diversity of economic and political systems represented in the group was matched by our occupations, which stretched from science policy practitioners, through research scientists and engineers, through academic observers of science and science policy. It was this diversity, along with the opportunities for infonnal discussion provided by long meals and remote location, that made the conference a special learning experience. Except at lecture time, it was impossible to distinguish the "students" at this event from the "teachers," and even the most senior members of the teaching staff went away with a sense that they had learned more from this group than from many a standard conference on science policy they had attended. The flavor of the conference experience cannot be captured adequately in a proceedings volume, and so we have not tried to create a historical record in this book. Instead, we have attempted to illustrate the core problems the panicipants at the conference shared, discussed, and debated, using both lectures delivered by the fonnal teaching staff and summaries of panel discussions, which extended to other panicipants and therefore increased the range of experiences reponed.

Download or read book Rise Trading State written by Richard Rosecrance and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 1987-05-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What will power look like in the century to come? Imperial Great Britain may have been the model for the nineteenth century, Richard Rosecrance writes, but Hong Kong will be the model for the twenty-first. We are entering the Age of the Virtual State -- when land and its products are no longer the primary source of power, when managing flows is more important than maintaining stockpiles, when service industries are the greatest source of wealth and expertise and creativity are the greatest natural resources.Rosecrance's brilliant new book combines international relations theory with economics and the business model of the virtual corporation to describe how virtual states arise and operate, and how traditional powers will relate to them. In specific detail, he shows why Japan's kereitsu system, which brought it industrial dominance, is doomed; why Hong Kong and Taiwan will influence China more than vice-versa; and why the European Union will command the most international prestige even though the U.S. may produce more wealth.
