Status Of Biodiesel Research And Development In Pakistan, Abdul Aziz Abdul Raman
Status Of Biodiesel Research And Development In Pakistan, Abdul Aziz Abdul Raman
Abdul Aziz Abdul Raman
Performance of biodiesel in engines is well established and biodiesel is currently adjudged as a low carbon fuel with the most potential of replacing fossil fuels. The fossil fuel sources are dwindling in Pakistan resulting in importation of about 8.1 million tonnes at approximately US$ 9.4 billion per annum. In the ambit of this justification, augmenting the energy scarce resources in Pakistan through intense harnessing of the varied biodiesel sources can adequately address the deficiency and can ensure energy security. Towards this end, the progress attained in biodiesel related researches in Pakistan are evaluated and presented with the view of …

Takings And Transmission, Alexandra B. Klass
Alexandra B. Klass
Ever since the Supreme Court’s controversial 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of New London, courts, state legislatures, and the public have scrutinized eminent domain actions like never before. Such scrutiny has focused, for the most part, on the now-controversial “economic development” or “public purpose” takings involved in the Kelo case itself, where government takes private property to convey it to another private party who promises to develop the property in a way that will increase the tax base, create new jobs, assist in urban renewal, or otherwise provide economic or social benefits to the public. By contrast, until recently, …
Danish Wind Energy Innovation, Kyle S. Herman
Danish Wind Energy Innovation, Kyle S. Herman
Dr. Kyle S. Herman
This article compares the exceptional Danish wind energy innovation system with the system employed by the US government. The underlying assumption about innovation systems in the US is that they are technologically driven, and past technological advances can be built upon leading to break-through innovations. However in Denmark, innovation was driven from citizens and relied on no break-through technologies, but rather a piecemeal process of collective, smaller innovations. For wind energy, this process was far more successful than the technologically driven innovation system in the US.
The Future Of U.S. Geothermal Development: Alternative Energy Or Green Pipe Dream?, Jeremiah Williamson
The Future Of U.S. Geothermal Development: Alternative Energy Or Green Pipe Dream?, Jeremiah Williamson
Jeremiah Williamson
As a result of increasing evidence of anthropogenic causes of climate change, federal and state governments enacted policies supporting the development of alternative, lower emission energy sources. These policies led to considerable growth in renewable energy development. Wind and solar energy in particular have led the growth, but neither is able to provide reliable baseload electric power due to their intermittent nature. In this regard, geothermal presents an important component in the creation of a renewable U.S. energy portfolio. Geothermal, like solar and wind, has grown rapidly in recent years, but it remains uncertain whether the recent renaissance in geothermal …
Ch 21. 'Future Perspectives On Solar Fuels', Thomas A. Faunce
Ch 21. 'Future Perspectives On Solar Fuels', Thomas A. Faunce
Thomas A Faunce
This chapter opens by examining whether the research and development of molecular solar fuels will be characterized in future by its promotion of fundamental societal virtues such as equality and environmental sustainability. As a thought experiment, it presents a vision of some important elements of such a future world—one where energy is primarily not only a matter of global artificial photosynthesis (GAP), but of such virtues. Central to the future perspective presented here is nanotechnological construction with enhanced efficiency of each aspect of the natural photosynthetic process into units capable of inexpensive mass production for domestic use. This involves a …
Governing Planetary Nanomedicine: Environmental Sustainability And A Unesco Universal Declaration On The Bioethics And Human Rights Of Natural And Artificial Photosynthesis (Global Solar Fuels And Foods)., Thomas A. Faunce
Thomas A Faunce
Environmental and public health-focused sciences are increasingly characterised as constituting an emerging discipline—planetary medicine. From a governance perspective, the ethical components of that discipline may usefully be viewed as bestowing upon our ailing natural environment the symbolic moral status of a patient. Such components emphasise, for example, the origins and content of professional and social virtues and related ethical principles needed to promote global governance systems and policies that reduce ecological stresses and pathologies derived from human overpopulation, selfishness and greed— such as pollution, loss of biodiversity, deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as provide necessary energy, water and …
