Covering ABS
Author: Tomme R. YoungPublisher: IUCN
ISBN: 2831709830
Category : Biodiversity conservation
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The most difficult and least addressed ABS implementation issue is that of coverage. On the one hand, the CBD's ABS provisions appear to give every country full rights over all genetic resources found in the country, even if the exact subspecies or variety is also found in other countries. On the other hand, however, even within a single country, each biome may be separately regulated, and each community or landowner may be given the right to control access to and receive benefits for the genetic resources of every specimen taken from their land or sold by them. This book analyzes the basic concept of ABS, examining the overall mechanisms that could be used to make the system work internationally.
Coal
Author: Mark C. ThurberPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 150951404X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
By making available the almost unlimited energy stored in prehistoric plant matter, coal enabled the industrial age – and it still does. Coal today generates more electricity worldwide than any other energy source, helping to drive economic growth in major emerging markets. And yet, continued reliance on this ancient rock carries a high price in smog and greenhouse gases. We use coal because it is cheap: cheap to scrape from the ground, cheap to move, cheap to burn in power plants with inadequate environmental controls. In this book, Mark Thurber explains how coal producers, users, financiers, and technology exporters drive this supply chain, while fragmented environmental movements battle for full incorporation of environmental costs into the global calculus of coal. Delving into the politics of energy versus the environment at local, national, and international levels, Thurber paints a vivid picture of the multi-faceted challenges associated with continued coal production and use in the twenty-first century.
Distributed Energy Resources in Microgrids
Author: Rajeev Kumar ChauhanPublisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128177756
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 555
Book Description
Distributed Energy Resources in Microgrids: Integration, Challenges and Optimization unifies classically unconnected aspects of microgrids by considering them alongside economic analysis and stability testing. In addition, the book presents well-founded mathematical analyses on how to technically and economically optimize microgrids via distributed energy resource integration. Researchers and engineers in the power and energy sector will find this information useful for combined scientific and economical approaches to microgrid integration. Specific sections cover microgrid performance, including key technical elements, such as control design, stability analysis, power quality, reliability and resiliency in microgrid operation. - Addresses the challenges related to the integration of renewable energy resources - Includes examples of control algorithms adopted during integration - Presents detailed methods of optimization to enhance successful integration
