Beyond any doubt the availability of energy and resources (e.g. fuels and chemical building blocks) for our future generations constitutes one of the major concerns of mankind. This research intends to contribute to the solution of this problem through an integrated multidisciplinary research approach involving all major disciplines available. The domain of sustainable energy and greenhouse gas emissions encompasses a huge area and is based on (existing strengths) of several major focal areas which have been identified for challenging research topics.
The following links give some examples.
Great stuff. Nice to read some well written posts. A long way between them.
That’s an interesting article. I just wondered if you could tell me where to find more info on this topic ?
The depth of information here is absolutely fantastic, the topics are so varied, I love it.
On http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/susenergy2030.html you can download scientific studies done for a 100% renewable energy supply in 2030.
Here is the summary:
Mix of energy sources in 2008 and similar in 2030 with a mix of primary energy sources: Oil: 35%, Coal: 27%, Natural gas: 23%, Nuclear: 6%, Biomass, solar, wind, and geothermal 7%
Mix of energy sources in 2030 with 100% renewable energy sources: Wind: 50%, Solar: 40%, Hydroelectric: 4%, Geothermal: 4%, Wave and tidal: 2%, Reduction in world energy demand: 30%
