Hybrid Microgrids: Towards sustainable and affordable energy access-for-all in Southeast Asia
How can remote communities be encouraged to adopt renewable technologies? Hybrid Microgrids is one possibility.
Advanced Conversion: Maximising the Potential for Energy from Waste
One of the most readily-available and viable solutions to help address the challenge of our growing energy needs is Energy-from-Waste (EfW) – which has the potential to take a multitude of waste streams (such as municipal solid waste) and convert them into energy. We look at how modern techniques can make the technology more efficient.
Sustainability in bioenergy
Biomass is a very versatile resource that can be used to produce heat, electricity, transport fuels and a range of chemicals and materials. It is used in all these applications today, and its future demand is estimated to grow substantially.
Wind: Does the cost per kilowatt hour outweigh the benefit?”
In an increasingly difficult economic climate, with consumers facing increasingly high bills for their electricity, there is a clear demand from many international governments for increasing alternative means of energy supply to the grid.
