Énergies Renouvelables

L'hydroélectricité reste la plus importante des énergies renouvelables. Ses apports au système énergétique sont indéniables. Offrant à la fois la possibilité de stockage à différentes échelles de temps (de l'heure à l'année), une grande flexibilité et permettant de répondre aux besoins de services systèmes, l'hydroélectricité joue un rôle essentiel dans la transition énergétique. L'hydroélectricité participe largement au développement économique des territoires. L'usage multiple de l'eau (eau potable, irrigation, soutien d'étiage, navigation) est devenu la règle. Au-delà de la production énergétique, elle est au centre des enjeux liés à la gestion des ressources en eau et au développement des territoires. Mais, dans un contexte énergétique en pleine mutation, l'hydroélectricité doit s'adapter. La question environnementale reste une priorité, avec notamment de nombreuses solutions à apporter sur la continuité piscicole, reposant sur des actions de recherche et d'innovation importantes. De nouvelles technologies sont testées, telles que le couplage énergie photovoltaïque/ STEP, l'installation d'hydroliennes fluviales, et un nouveau regard est porté sur l'énergie des marées. Ce document présente une synthèse de la conférence internationale HydroES 2019 ≪ Quel avenir voulons-nous pour l'hydroélectricité en France et en Europe ? », organisée par la SHF et accueillie par INP ENSE3 à Grenoble, les 29 et 30 janvier 2019.

The One

Hospitals are the major contributor to environmental corruption and the biggest drain onenergy in their life cycle because they are complex, multifunctional giant facilities. Several recent studieshave been carried out to find the most suitable solutions to reduce energy consumption provide it on-siteand contribute to supporting economic, environmental and social aspects. The reason for the slowmovement of green buildings for hospitals is to focus on a suitable design for the complex function thatdeals with the local climate, natural resources, economy and cultural values and avoid the one-size-fits alldesign. This made the solutions used multiple and varied, different for greening of the hospital and put theresearch in the absence of a clear perception of the mechanisms of the application of green architecture inhospitals and this identified the problem of research. Therefore, the study looked at an analytical study ofexisting project models designed according to the strategies and standards of green architecture todetermine the strategies adopted in each project, and by adopting the analytical method after determiningthe strategy used in each building to achieve the green architecture and then comparing them according tothe standards adopted using the global LEED system Green Building Council. The results that will bereached are the mechanisms of applying Green Architecture to Hospitals.

Significant technical progress has been made in recent years in the development of algae-based bioenergy, and much of industrial and academic R&D projects have diverged from the biofuels strategy. This report summarizes the conclusions of a recently concluded symposium analyzing the prospects for using micro- and macroalgae as a feedstock for biofuels and bioenergy. It discusses international activities for the development of bio-energy and non-energy algae bioproducts, advances in the use of macroalgae (both non-cultivated and cultivated algae). Applications for various biochemical and thermochemical uses, bio-refining capabilities for various products, as well as an in-depth review of the process from the point of view of economy and energy sustainability are also given.

This book examines the role of nonstate actors in global environmental politics, arguing that a fuller understanding of their role requires a new way of conceptualizing private authority. It identifies two distinct forms of private authority—one in which states delegate authority to private actors, and another in which entrepreneurial actors generate their own rules, persuading others to adopt them. Drawing on a wealth of empirical evidence spanning a century of environmental rule making, the book shows how the delegation of authority to private actors has played a small but consistent role in multilateral environmental agreements over the past fifty years, largely in the area of treaty implementation. This contrasts with entrepreneurial authority, where most private environmental rules have been created in the past two decades. The book traces how this dynamic and fast-growing form of private authority is becoming increasingly common in areas ranging from organic food to green building practices to sustainable tourism. It persuasively argues that the configuration of state preferences and the existing institutional landscape are paramount to explaining why private authority emerges and assumes the form that it does. In-depth cases on climate change provide evidence for the book's arguments. The book demonstrates that authority in world politics is diffused across multiple levels and diverse actors, and it offers a more complete picture of how private actors are helping to shape our response to today's most pressing environmental problems.
