1. 1. The transition from fossil energy to renewable energy : Difficulties and opportunities

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi och statistik (NS)

   Author : Bakri Masri; [2023]
   Keywords : climate change; policy interventions; path dependency theory; energy; solar; wind; hydroelectric; geothermal; biomass;

   Abstract : The world’s demand for energy has steadily increased in recent years, driven by economic and population growth, coupled with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, using fossil fuels to meet the energy demand has led to various environmental and social problems, including air pollution, climate change, and geopolitical conflicts. READ MORE

3. 2. Explorative Scenarios for Future Lithium Supplies and Demand

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Aksel Rahman; [2023]
   Keywords : lithium mining; lithium future production; Gompertz models; Richards models; Logistic models;

   Abstract : Because of its specific qualities, lithium is a key element for making lithium-ion batteries, which is of great relevance since the battery sector is the fastest growing user of lithium to date and with the transition towards a fully electrified transportation sector due to the current climate agenda and an even bigger increase in demand for lithium is anticipated for the coming decades. The two main sources for lithium to date are mines and brines, with brine water composing around 87 % of the world’s lithium reserves in terms of contained lithium. READ MORE

4. 3. The future of geothermal energy in Europe

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Susana Barquín del Rosario; [2022]
   Keywords : Geothermal Energy; Opportunities; Risks; Barriers; Development scenarios; Status in Europe; Potential;

   Abstract : In this paper it is investigated the role that geothermal energy could play in theenergy mix, to meet new system requirements. As any other source, geothermal energy harnessing implies a number of risksmainly related to induced seismicity and landslides, together with the releaseof as greenhouse gases and metal salts.

6. 5. A reverse data-driven energy estimation approach for evaluating renewable energy systems implementation in New York City

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Seyedmohammad Hosseini; [2021]
   Keywords : Energy use prediction; Energy performance simulation; Renewable energy source; data-driven energy estimation; Statistical methods; Reverse method; Regression model; Urban modelling; Energy modelling; Generative modelling; Geothermal heat pump; Borehole Thermal Energy Storage.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Urban areas are responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions. Megacities, especially, have cumulative impacts due to different anthropogenic heat sources and urban heat island phenomena. It is therefore vital to replace fossil fuel burning heating sources with renewable sources in the current building stock. READ MORE
