On the basis of conventional accounting methodology, fossil fuel-fired power generation facilities currently represent the least cost technology option. However, this method of accounting tends to neglect the environmental and social costs involved in generating electrical power by combustion of...

The global energy consumption is likely to grow faster than the population growth. The fuel consumption was growing from 6630million tons of oil equivalents (Mtoe) in 1980 to 11,163Mtoe in 2009. This projected consumption will increase 1.5% per year until 2030 and reach 16,900Mtoe and the main...

Dieses Fachbuch beleuchtet wo wir global mit unserer bis heute noch fossilen Weltwirtschaft stehen und wie ein Umbau weg von fossilen Brennstoffen nicht allein in Deutschland sondern weltweit gelingen könnte. Der Autor analysiert die aktuelle Situation und benennt die Risiken die ein solcher...
