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.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EL Uso inadecuado que se le ha dado a las fuentes de energia en os dos últimos siglos, ha generado una presión sin precedentes sobre los recuroso naturales y el ambiente, ha desencadenado severos problemas ecológicos a escala local y global y ha contribuido con desequilibrios sociales, en especial para los países en vía de desarrollo, por la estructura energética centralizada creada para grandes centros urbanos, pero no para comunidades aisladas. Estos aspectos originaron el actual modelo energético; un modelo no sostenible que ha suscitado en las últimas décadas, la investigación de alternativas de solución frente a esta situación la fuente de energías renovables con el medio ambiente y socialmente equitativas, se ha interesado en los fenómenos naturales para tratar de encontrar una solución. De allí que las energías renovables sean en la actualidad una alternativa muy viable y sana al modelo energético centralizado basado en el consumo intensivo de combustibles fósiles. las principales fuentes energéticas renovables son: la energía solar, la energía eólica, la energía hidráulica y el recurso de la biomasa. Estos grupos poseen una fuente prácticamente inagotable en relación al tiempo de vida del hombre en el planeta generan muy bajos impactos sobre el ambiente. Se han formulado bastantes politicas a nivel global para expandir la investigación, transferencia y financiamiento de las energías renovables y tecnologías apropiadas tanto como alternativa para minimizar los problemas ambientales como para aprovechar las potencialidades energéticas presentes en zonas rurales y aisladas y favorecer asi las condiciones sociales de esas áreas, ya que son autoctonas, descentralizadas, mejoran las actividades productivas y aprovechan los recursos locales disminuyendo la dependencia de suministros externos contribuyendo a un desarrollo adecuado, constante y aut ́ctono. La Asociación Campesina Tecniguadua, ASOCATEG, es una empresa social ubicada en zona rural, que presenta ...

Download or read book Grassroots Innovation Movements written by Adrian Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation is increasingly invoked by policy elites and business leaders as vital for tackling global challenges like sustainable development. Often overlooked, however, is the fact that networks of community groups, activists, and researchers have been innovating grassroots solutions for social justice and environmental sustainability for decades. Unencumbered by disciplinary boundaries, policy silos, or institutional logics, these ‘grassroots innovation movements’ identify issues and questions neglected by formal science, technology and innovation organizations. Grassroots solutions arise in unconventional settings through unusual combinations of people, ideas and tools. This book examines six diverse grassroots innovation movements in India, South America and Europe, situating them in their particular dynamic historical contexts. Analysis explains why each movement frames innovation and development differently, resulting in a variety of strategies. The book explores the spaces where each of these movements have grown, or attempted to do so. It critically examines the pathways they have developed for grassroots innovation and the challenges and limitations confronting their approaches. With mounting pressure for social justice in an increasingly unequal world, policy makers are exploring how to foster more inclusive innovation. In this context grassroots experiences take on added significance. This book provides timely and relevant ideas, analysis and recommendations for activists, policy-makers, students and scholars interested in encounters between innovation, development and social movements.
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 The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a deep Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».
