Vi ved det godt: Klimakrisen er tidens største politiske, sociale og økonomiske problem. Vores afhængighed af fossile brændsler risikerer reelt at blive menneskehedens endeligt. Vi skylder fremtidige generationer at sætte alt ind for at reducere udledningen af drivhusgasser. Lige nu. Men glem alt dette et øjeblik. Det grønne pengetræ er hverken en appel til din dårlige samvittighed eller dit varme hjerte. Bogens altoverskyggende argument er kynisk: Vi skal sætte tryk på den grønne omstilling, fordi der er gode penge at tjene på den. Vi skal erstatte det fossile med grønt, fordi det er en guldrandet forretning for danske virksomheder, almindelige lønmodtagere og din privatøkonomi.Igennem interviews med alt fra topchefer til havnearbejdere og atomfysikere, understreger Magnus Barsøe det imponerende potentiale inden for de grønne investeringer. Han kommer med politiske forslag, der kan sætte skub i den grønne omstilling og leverer en bredside til venstrefløjens vækstkritikere. Og han tager fat på et af de mest kontroversielle emner i klimadebatten: atomkraft.

The rapid pace of economic development and urbanization in Asia have led to several major problems such as greenhouse gas emissions, mass consumption, and depletion of natural resources. These problems pose a major threat to a sustainable future for Asia and are hindering many Asian countries' goal of becoming carbon-neutral by the middle of this century. Solving these problems requires a comprehensive understanding of the nature of energy consumption, exploitation of natural resources, and deterioration of the environment.To accelerate the green energy transition and promote efficient resource use in Asia, a range of policy options and joint efforts among Asian countries will be required, including carbon pricing, resource tax reform, the expansion of transition finance, support for the development of low-carbon, and resource-efficient social infrastructure. However, Asia is home to many countries, each in a different stage of economic development and with its own culture and customs. Practical implementation of these policies will require bringing together researchers, policymakers, and citizens to share their knowledge and engage in discussions to generate policy ideas that are appropriate for each country. The purpose of this book is to share theoretical and empirical knowledge and convey policy implications that can be expected to accelerate energy transition and resource use effectiveness toward a sustainable future in Asia.

Deine neue Solaranlage ist Vertrauenssache.Willkommen in unserem Universalratgeber Photo- voltaik, einem umfassenden Buch rund um das Thema Solarenergie ¿ von der Theorie bis zur Praxis. In eine Solaranlage zu investieren, ist wohl die beste Entscheidung die du als Hausbesitzer im Moment treffen kannst. Lass mich kurz erklären, weshalb ich dieser Überzeugung bin. Zum Einen sind die Energiepreise unbe- rechenbar geworden. Etwas unabhängiger von Strom- oder Gasversorgern zu werden und gleichzeitig auch noch Kosten zu sparen, ist ein wich- tiger Aspekt. Andere wollen so autark wie möglich sein, um sich zum Beispiel bei einem Stromausfall selbst versorgen zu können. Darüber hinaus ist auch der Umweltgedanke wichtig: CO2-Emissionen einsparen durch selbst auf dem Dach produzierten, grünen Sonnenstrom. Und damit nicht nur dir selbst, sondern auch dem Klima etwas Gutes tun. Eine Solaranlage ist heute so preisgünstig und so einfach zu erwerben wie noch nie zuvor. Dieses Buch soll aufzeigen, worauf du achten solltest, wenn du mit einem Anbieter sprichst, damit du viele Jahre Freude an deiner neuen Anlage hast, unabhängiger bist und natürlich auch jede Menge CO2 einsparst. Für Dich, für deine Kinder und für deren Kinder.

Climate Change and Circular Economics: Human Society as a Closed Thermodynamic System aims to go beyond the concept of ‘fighting climate change’ to analyze the capacity of human society to evolve in relation to the environment based on a more complex approach. The book stresses the role of resource recovery by innovation in reducing the temperature increase, determined through an irreversible thermodynamic approach. Determining the speed of temperature increase contributed by selected economies and comparing these to environmental recovery time constants shows that emerging economies have a much greater speed and consequently a larger impact on environmental capability to recover.Chapters progress from an analysis of present society as a dissipative open system to a thermodynamics view of the need for a circular economy, a big data analysis of climate change and risk mitigation, economic indicators, including entropy and economics, risk maps of climate change events risks, and insights into the ‘Gibbs paradox’, which describes the connection of two separate systems (like society and environment).

This book analyses issues surrounding the efficient integration of demand response programmes in residential communities. It also explores the benefits and energy efficiency co-ordination corresponding to demand response service in a cooperative system. The author explains how sensors, communication technologies, computational ability, and control can be effectively combined to create a demand planification system. Smart appliances (SAs) and other connected devices, together with smart communities (SCs)¿which enable energy consumers to pursue common goals through cooperation and coordinated behaviour within the framework of the Internet of things (IoT)¿have raised expectations regarding deployment of the information and communication technologies (ICTs) to encourage uptake of demand response (DR) energy efficiency programmes. DR programmes pursue a reduced carbon footprint, balanced supply and demand, and behavioural change in consumers. The book provides sustainable evidence of ICT-supported energy management that can help consumers flexibly manage demand through the formation of sustainable SCs that maximise renewable energy use through large-scale cooperative management mechanisms. SCs cooperating securely in identifying consumption patterns can foster sustainable and efficient energy use, with the outcome of benefits for the participants and for the environment.
