Russia is the second largest gas producer in the world after the US and the main exporter of natural gas to the EU. There were 257 gas-producing companies in Russia at the beginning of 2016, among them the largest producer and exporter of the pipeline gas — Gazprom with production share of 64 %. Currently, Gazprom maintains the status of the pipeline export monopolist. At the same time, it receives...
At present, many countries are aware of the global warming crisis which is resulted from the pollution of fossil fuels, therefore, the alternative energy especially solar energy is needed to decrease reliance on conventional energy source. In Thailand, solar photovoltaic (PV) rooftops have promoted by the government to install in the private household. After reviewing, this paper presents factors...
Lebanon stands to benefit significantly from extracting and monetizing its potential natural gas reserves. However, significant uncertainty has resulted in stakeholders adopting a wait-and-see approach in decision-making and investment in the hydrocarbon sector. This paper aims to address this uncertainty by providing a structured framework to determine the conditions that make various export options...
Bangladesh is said to be one of the biggest energy starved countries, with the present demand for electricity at 9000 plus MW (Mega Watt) as opposed to the production of 6500 to 7500 MW. Access to electricity in Bangladesh is one of the lowest, about 40 percent of the total population are without access to adequate, cheap and quality energy. At present, we have to depend on indigenous energy resources,...
Ongoing energy crisis has marked itself to be one of the most difficult challenges and the most common problems. The motivation behind this study is to break down the way of this crisis and to propose some fleeting and additionally long haul answers for this issue. This research study is related to the up gradation of existing resources, technologies and infrastructures of energy. All the available...
The shale gas industry is at the cross-roads. The current regulatory frameworks have not lived up to expectations as the recent experiences in Europe (France) and North America (Quebec) demonstrate. To better understand the reasons for such a performance, this paper examines best practices in nanotechnology and financial industries. Five lessons emerge from this analysis. Generally, disruptive technologies...
This paper is based on the scarcity rent theory which emphasizes the resources price should consist of marginal cost of winning, marginal User Cost(scarcity rent)and marginal social cost. guided by this theory, having a bird eye on the foreign resources tax system, we found that the design of Chinese resources tax system was so fragmentary, rent dissipation is very serious. To change the present condition,...
This Energy is one of the important factors in the economic development. People pay increasingly attention to the energy security which is especially taken seriously by the government to ensure the normal running of the economy. The paper uses set pair analysis and fuzzy approach to evaluate the security status of the oil, coal and natural gas subsystem and finally the whole energy system. The case...
The article analyzes the power issues in Thailand. There is a huge demand for power in the future. In order to alleviate the shortage of power in the future, Thailand adopted a variety of measures to expand power resources.
Since the pricing mechanism for natural gas prevailing in China being not conform to the development of natural gas market, a systematical analysis is employed in the study in term of the present situations and disadvantages on the market characteristics and the pricing mode. On the basis to the comparison with the rules of the pricing mechanism for natural gas in developed countries, a detail design...
The natural gas industry is an important industry which involves the national economy and the people's livelihood. There is great significance for introducing the investment and expanding the market to research natural gas pricing. From the regulated economics analysis, this paper has presented some problems existing in natural gas price formulation in China. Moreover, there are many methods on pricing...
In recent years, the world energy market has changed significantly. Especially, the demand of the oil has been increasing day by day. The natural gas was only the accessory of the crude since its discovery. Some expertise predicts that natural gas will be the first energy in the future. As one of the most potential future energy, natural gas will play an increasingly important role during the country's...
In this study, the general position of Ukraine in world energy arena is analyzed based on the energy policies, and also the effective parts of energy production are analyzed. Ukraine has applied for negotiations to become an EU member. In this process, the issues of energy effectiveness, their contribution to the environmental factors, proprietorship issues of the energy producers, and privatization...
The PROINFA is a Brazilian government policy which is divided into two phases and whose objective is to promote the expansion of power generation through renewable sources. This paper aims to assess the efficiency of the second phase with regard to long-term scenarios (2009-2030), identifying gaps and barriers, and proposing policy options to address them. In the first phase, the Program calls for...
As the efficient clean natural resource, natural gas has become the world top choice of ameliorating environment and promoting sustainable development on economy. It is estimated by International Information Center of Natural Gas that in 2000 world primary consumption gross of natural gas is 2.5 tril cubes, which accounts for 22% of the total consumption of non-renewable resource. As a result of competitive...
Coal and hydro will be the main sources of electric energy in Chile for the near future, given that natural gas from neighbouring Argentina is not longer available and LNG price projections leave it only as a backup fuel. The country has limited energy resources, importing more than 73% of its energy. Hydroelectric untapped resources are significant, but they are mostly located in the extreme south...
There are many uncertainties regarding the future level of natural gas consumption in China. In order to obtain a clear idea of what factors drive fuel consumption choices, we focus on three regions of China: Beijing, Guangdong, and Shanghai. Using an economic optimization model (MARKAL), we consider drivers including the level of sulfur dioxide emissions constraints set by the government, the cost...
Many power authorities are actively pursuing clean or renewable energy distributed generation sources to meet future long-term demands. Consequently, many policies and initiatives have been introduced to spur private sector investment in these generator technologies. This paper examines the socio-economic effects (social cost, pollution, investor return) that these policies may have through changes...
The paper describes the current situation of energy resources in Argentina focusing on power generation, the main market conditions and short term forecasts. The paper refers to the projects that have been overtaken by both the government and private investors to expand the installed capacity in the short term enhancing the options based on renewable resources.
Energy is the bedrock of our daily lives and industry. Now is the time that industry, government and academia must join together and examine highly independent, fully environmentally considerate and rational energy systems. In this presentation, recent Japanese policy will be introduced focusing on new national energy strategy. Looking at future technology trends, it is probable that, in the case...
