This paper provides an overview of the policy design of the current development of Green Energy in Taiwan and an analysis regarding the driving factors. After introducing the institutional process, with focuses on policy evolution and key projects, the paper conducts a driving force analysis from the elements of the actors, both public and private, and boundaries, which covers the natural, political,...
Literature states that most successful corporations and nations have used scenarios as a tool to lead the energy sector. Accordingly, the objective of this paper is to develop scenarios of Sri Lankan energy future to picture the Sri Lankan renewable energy sector by year 2030. This study presents a seven step scenario development model to develop scenarios. The seven steps comprises defining objective...
Although today's major concerns are moving to renewable energy and the saving of energy, there are deeper energy-related issues which are less discussed and explored. To what extent can renewable energy take over from conventional sources? How much into the future should we be concerned about? Electricity generation for stationary applications can be from coal, nuclear power, solar power and wind...
When the majority of energy (>90%) is generated by fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emissions increase the greenhouse gas effect of the region. Therefore, renewable, sustainable, and economically viable energy sources are needed as alternatives to fossil fuels. The facilities and installation costs for generating renewable energy is much higher than the cost of fossil fuel facilities. Thus, governments...
The Caribbean islands are very dependent on tourism. However, with the expected temperature changes due to climate change, the Caribbean island chain will be devastated as most islands would lose their most valuable tourist asset, their beaches. The predicament of the islands is further exacerbated by the fact that they have no control of the predicted sea level rise as their aggregated greenhouse...
Due to rising prices of fossil fuels especially of crude oil in 2008 and concerns about climate change, attention has again been on renewable and environment friendly energies. This paper reviews and highlights policies and practices that have been adopted by various nations which are in forefront of promoting renewable energies.
The development of renewable energy sources (RES) is necessary for the sustainable development of any country due to depleting fossil fuel level, climbing fossil fuel prices across the world and more recently pressure for reduction emission level. In India, several schemes and policies are launched by the government to support the use of RES to achieve energy security and self-sufficiency. This paper...
India is on the path of rapid economic growth along with speedy overall development, simultaneously it has to face the global threat of climate change. India has unique renewable energy resources (RES) and development of country depends to a great extent on harnessing these sources. Being a developing infrastructure, increasing energy needs, eradicating poverty, and social development are the overriding...
Increasing costs associated with fossil fuel generation coupled with the recognition and acceptance of the finiteness of this resource has, in part, contributed to the growing popularity of alternative energy generation. International environmental treaties have also forced many states, primarily developed states, to consciously review their use of fuels. This paper compares governmental policy and...
