Supplement to energy for rural development: renewable resources and alternative technologies for developing countries. Final report

Technical Report

In 1976, the National Academy of Sciences published Energy for Rural Development: Renewable Resources and Alternative Technologies for Developing Countries, which presented information on a variety of subjects, including direct uses of solar energy (heating, cooling, distillation, crop drying, photovoltaics), indirect uses of solar energy (wind power, hydropower, photosynthesis, biomass), geothermal energy, and energy storage. This supplement includes information on new technologies developing during that period and on advances made in technologies described in the original volume. Like that volume, this report serves merely to direct the reader where to go for more information, and is not intended to bemore »« less
Renewable energy in Brazil: opportunities, barriers, and remedies

Technical Report Jhirad, D; Rutter, W

An overview of the major conclusions is presented according to the goals of the study; and contents of the various chapters of the report are outlined. All major energy planning organizations in Brazil at the federal and state level perceive an urgent need for petroleum substitution by means of energy-efficient technology, coal, hydroelectricity, biomass, solar, and wind. Technologies and applications considered of high priority for US/Brazilian cooperative efforts are the following: Energy-efficient technology, used with indigenous hydroelectricity, especially heat pumps to provide (1) low temperature hot water for industrial applications, and (2) air conditioning and hot water for residential andmore »« less
Strategic view of new fuel oils development in Japan

Journal Article Toshiaki, O - Energy Dev. Jpn.; (United States)

New fuel oils are manufactured from various energy sources such as natural gas, coal, biomass, oil sand and oil shale and are expected to directly replace petroleum products in their end-uses. Other petroleum-substituting energy sources such as nuclear energy, natural gas, geothermal energy, solar energy, etc. are mainly positioned to replace electric energy, or eventually even petroleum used for power generation. In contrast, the new fuel oils are mainly characterized by their convenience of being liquid fuels, able to replace various petroleum products without necessitating major changes in the existing energy conversion equipment or apparatus or in the existing distributionmore »« less
Multiphase Flow Modeling of Biofuel Production Processes

Conference Gaston, D; Guillen, D; Tester, J

As part of the Idaho National Laboratory's (INL's) Secure Energy Initiative, the INL is performing research in areas that are vital to ensuring clean, secure energy supplies for the future. The INL Hybrid Energy Systems Testing (HYTEST) Laboratory is being established to develop and test hybrid energy systems with the principal objective to safeguard U.S. Energy Security by reducing dependence on foreign petroleum. HYTEST involves producing liquid fuels in a Hybrid Energy System (HES) by integrating carbon-based (i.e., bio-mass, oil-shale, etc.) with non-carbon based energy sources (i.e., wind energy, hydro, geothermal, nuclear, etc.). Advances in process development, control and modelingmore »« less
