Book Description
The Bulletin is intended as a general document aimed at a wide technical audience involved with or affected by hydropower. Basic background data and some statistics are presented, with specific reference to hydro-electricity production, hydropower dams, hydropower plants, in operation or under construction. Key aspects of hydropower are discussed. Data are presented about typical capital and both internal and external operating costs. Environmental and social impacts are discussed and reference is made to the impact reservoirs have on greenhouse gas emissions. A section is dedicated to the exploitation of tidal energy by means of barrage systems. The current extent of hydropower development and the influence of policies aimed to favour the development of renewable energies are also discussed. Reference sources of information, on hydropower in general and interesting case-histories, are provided. Le Bulletin se veut un document général destiné à un large public technique impliqué ou affecté par l'hydroélectricité. Des données de base et quelques statistiques sont présentées, avec une référence spécifique à la production hydroélectrique, aux barrages hydroélectriques, aux centrales hydroélectriques, en fonctionnement ou en construction. Les principaux aspects de l'hydroélectricité sont discutés. Les données sont présentées sur le capital type et les coûts de fonctionnement internes et externes. Les impacts environnementaux et sociaux sont discutés et il est fait référence à l'impact des réservoirs sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Une section est dédiée à l'exploitation de l'énergie marémotrice au moyen de systèmes de barrage. L'ampleur actuelle du développement hydroélectrique et l'influence des politiques visant à favoriser le développement des énergies renouvelables sont également abordées. Des sources d'information de référence, sur l'hydroélectricité en général et des études de cas intéressantes, sont fournies.

Energy Transition

ISBN: 111962942X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Although most people are aware of the value of developing new energy technologies, the importance of assessing such technologies is only just beginning to be recognized in full. This book, illustrated by real-life examples, fulfils two main objectives. Firstly, it provides an in-depth summary of energy system evaluation methods, the result of decades of work in this area, for the use of researchers, engineers and anybody else interested in the energy sector. Secondly, the vicious cycle of neglect towards in situ evaluation is broken. This neglect is due to its unjust reputation for being “thankless work”: longwinded, expensive, difficult to exploit and undervalued. By scientifically organizing experience acquired over more than 30 years, Energy Transition highlights the considerable usefulness of the approach, not only economically, but also from a human standpoint.

Book Description
The International Energy Agency's periodic review of Canada's energy policies and programmes. This 2010 edition finds that Canada, with its diverse and balanced portfolio of energy resources, is one of the largest producers and exporters of energy among IEA member countries. The energy sector plays an increasingly important role for the Canadian economy and for global energy security, as its abundant resource base has the potential to deliver even greater volumes of energy. The federal, provincial and territorial governments of Canada are all strongly committed to the sustainable development of the country's natural resources and have a long-standing and informed awareness of the need for each to contribute to the development of the energy sector. Furthermore, the government of Canada seeks to achieve a balance between the environmentally responsible production and use of energy, the growth and competitiveness of the economy, and secure and competitively priced energy and infrastructure. Nonetheless, the long-term sustainability of the sector remains a challenge. Due to climatic, geographic and other factors, Canada is one of the highest per-capita CO2 emitters in the OECD and has higher energy intensity than any IEA member country. A comprehensive national energy efficiency strategy, coupled with a coordinated climate change policy targeted at the key emitting sectors, is needed. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a priority for the federal government and presents Canada with an opportunity to develop a new technology that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale. The IEA recommends that Canada provide international leadership in the development of CCS technology. This review analyses the energy challenges facing Canada and provides sectoral critiques and recommendations for further policy improvements.
