The Global Environment Facility (GEF) represents the largest international commitment to accelerating the use of renewable energy in developing countries. This adds up to more than 600 sustainable development projects in over 140 nations -- a portfolio worth $7.5 billion, including co-finance. Sustainable development in general, and sustainable energy development in particular, are achievable either through dramatic improvements in technology or dramatic changes in lifestyle. GEF financing adheres to a strategic approach which recognizes that the need for energy greatly exceeds our resources -- or even the combined resources of all bilateral and multilateral agencies. nienergybriefing http://www.wwf.org.uk/filelibrary/pdf/nienergybriefing.pdf energy, Northern Ireland, wind, renewable energy, electricity, wind power, buildings, resources, offshore wind, technology, solar, WWF Northern Ireland, Recommendation, CO2 emissions, consumption. The threat of global climate change has precipitated a review of how we obtain and use energy. Given that 80 per cent of man made CO2 emissions come from fossil fuel combustion, WWF Northern Ireland believes there must be a dramatic shift away from fossil fuels to renewable forms of energy, if the UK is to stand any chance of meeting the emission reduction targets necessary to tackle climate change. In Northern Ireland renewable energy sources like wind, solar, biomass and hydro power all have a vital role to play in generating electricity while reducing CO2 emissions. Wind power has been used for thousands of years and the modern, efficient wind turbines offer a tremendous opportunity to generate electricity from a clean, non-polluting source. polmet97 http://arch.hku.hk/~cmhui/polmet97.pdf energy, renewable energy, Hong Kong, sustainability, technologies, economies, environment, China, energy market, countries, fuel, fossil, biomass, Internet, resources. From renewable energy to sustainability: the challenge for Hong Kong, In Proc. The energy sector, which supports our economies and contributes directly to our quality of life, is a critical area for achieving sustainability. The linkage between energy and socio-economic development, environment, social and economic security must be understood in order to design effective strategies. Options for a future energy system compatible with sustainable development include [7]: (a) (b) (c) (d) More efficient use of energy and energy-intensive materials; Increased use of renewable sources of energy; More efficient production and use of fossil fuels; Fuel substitution, from high-carbon- to low-carbon- or no-carbon-based fuels. Rigorous applications of relevant theory and technologies are needed to accelerate the development and utilization of renewable energy, and to increase its contribution to the current energy supply mixes.

This case study forms part of Community Action for Energy, a major programme designed to promote and facilitate local community-based energy projects.The programme is an initiative for the Environment, Education & Community group of the Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes. This case study provides an overview of a project based in the Dyfi Valley, near Machynlleth, mid Wales. Several organisations have come together to enable local people to carry out small-scale schemes using various renewable energy technologies. Scheme proposers/owners include schools, farmers, other businesses, householders and community groups.The project also promotes, via the Dyfi Solar Club, solar water heating to householders, and puts them in a position where they may install their own system. exim_opic_summary http://www.seen.org/pages/reports/exim_opic_summary.pdf power plant, oil, gas, financing, oil refinery, ExIm, equipment, gas-fired power, coal-fired power plant, oil-fired power plant, fossil fuel, gas pipeline, energy, oil/gas-fired power plant, diesel-fired power plant. As the following lists reveal, these two U.S. taxpayer-financed institutions have approved over $32 billion towards fossil fuel extraction, transporation, and power projects since 1992. These projects, over their lifetimes, will generate over 32 billion tons of carbon dioxide -- far more than the GLOBAL amount of carbon dioxide produced by the consumption or flaring of fossil fuels in the year 2000 (23.6 billion tons). OPIC and ExIm's has approved 25 times as much financing for fossil fuels than for renewables since the Rio Earth Summit. NOTE: ExIm includes large-scale dams, such as the 1,832-megawatt Xialangdi project in China, among its renewable energy projects. ExIm did not include this project in its August 1999 list of renewable energy projects. 11-26 http://www.uneptie.org/pc/tourism/documents/energy/11-26.pdf water, electricity, costs, heating, energy, heat, circulating, temperature, design, tourism, renewable energy, waste, installations, operating, connection. For the tourism sector, renewable energy technologies can provide thermal (heat) energy via solar, geothermal and biomass energy resources to heat buildings, provide hot water and cook food. Natural convection pumps heater water rising from the solar collector into the storage tank in a process called 'thermosiphoning' (see additional diagram below). Geothermal energy -- the heat of the Earth can be recovered at temperatures ranging from 35°C to 150°C and used to heat buildings, greenhouses, aquaculture facilities and to provide industrial process heat. One of the most commercially accepted geothermal technologies is the geothermal heat pump (GHP), also described as geoexchange and the ground source heat pump.6 A GHP takes advantage of the natural and nearly constant heat of the Earth, which can be used as a heat resource in the winter and a heat sink in the summer. 10CFR451.1 http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/14mar20010800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2003/pdf/10CFR451.1.pdf energy, electricity, renewable energy, renewable energy facility, DOE, authority, incentive payments, purpose, Assistant, Finance Office, renewable energy source, qualified renewable energy, heat, plant, biomass.
