Energy Transitions
Author: Vaclav SmilPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 031338178X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
This bold and controversial argument shows why energy transitions are inherently complex and prolonged affairs, and how ignoring this fact raises unrealistic expectations that the United States and other global economies can be weaned quickly from a primary dependency on fossil fuels. Energy transitions are fundamental processes behind the evolution of human societies: they both drive and are driven by technical, economic, and social changes. In a bold and provocative argument, Energy Transitions: History, Requirements, Prospects describes the history of modern society's dependence on fossil fuels and the prospects for the transition to a nonfossil world. Vaclav Smil, who has published more on various aspects of energy than any working scientist, makes it clear that this transition will not be accomplished easily, and that it cannot be accomplished within the timetables established by the Obama administration. The book begins with a survey of the basic properties of modern energy systems. It then offers detailed explanations of universal patterns of energy transitions, the peculiarities of changing energy use in the world's leading economies, and the coming shifts from fossil fuels to renewable conversions. Specific cases of these transitions are analyzed for eight of the world's leading energy consumers. The author closes with perspectives on the nature and pace of the coming energy transition to renewable conversions.

Book Description
NASA has long relied on the Delta II medium class launch vehicle (MCLV) to launch science missions. Delta II, however, is no longer in production, and no other vehicle in the relative cost and performance range is currently certified for NASA use. This report assessed: (1) NASA's and the contractor's steps to ensure resources are available to support safe Delta II oper. through 2011; (2) NASA's plans and contingencies for ensuring a smooth transition from current small and MCLV to other launch vehicles; (3) the risks associated with NASA's planned approach to fill the MCLV capability gap; and (4) technical and programmatic implications if NASA commits to new launch vehicles before they are certified and proven. Illustrations. A print on demand report.
Advances in Low Carbon Technologies and Transition
Author: Shigemi KagawaPublisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3039435574

Pages : 214
Book Description
A wide variety of technologies and products have already become widespread in our society. However, policies have not been well-implemented to effectively reduce energy consumptions and CO2 emissions by promoting low-carbon technologies and products. This Special Issue focuses on studies targeting specific products (e.g., motor vehicle, household dishwashers, etc.) and/or technologies (e.g., information and communication technology, transport technology, CO2 capture technology, etc.) and quantifying resource and energy consumptions and CO2 emissions associated with products and technology systems using the reliable inventory database. Thus, this Special Issue provides important studies on how demand- and supply-side policies can contribute to reducing energy consumptions and CO2 emissions from consumption- and production-based perspectives.
