Energy problems will play a fundamental role in the near future and it is necessary that researchers, engineers, economists, ecologists start working together, before it is too late, in order to increase the existing non-fossil energy sources, to develop new sources or new technologies using less energy without polluting the environment. This situation may lead in some cases to conflicting actions, and therefore the engineer's task is to find the optimal solutions. The problem is considered from both the national and international points of view.

Abstract The life cycle assessment method is widely accepted for calculating the environmental impacts of buildings. However, the approaches used to translate greenhouse gas emissions to a global warming potential score are largely criticised. By following a static approach (known as 0/0) and a time-dependent approach (known as dynamic) in this paper, we assessed the environmental impacts of two buildings with structures made of reinforced concrete and wood, respectively. The relative difference between the results calculated with the 0/0 approach and the time-dependent approach were larger for the building with the wooden structure. A more detailed analysis identified biogenic carbon as the source that was most responsible for this difference in results. For this reason, biogenic carbon should be treated separately and must be calculated with the time-dependent approach. Meanwhile, the impacts from fossil energy sources should be calculated with the 0/0 approach.

  El objetivo de este artículo es presentar los impactos que están causando los combustibles fósiles al ambiente, e incorporar las nuevas fuentes de energías renovables y optar por la generación distribuida GD, ya que el exorbitante crecimiento demográfico ha incitado a generar más energía eléctrica. De igual manera integrar ciertas tecnologías como las redes inteligentes o Smart grids, permitiendo las comunicaciones remotas bidireccionales y disponibles continuamente para la recopilación de información. Finalmente dar el gran paso hacia las ciudades inteligentes, sostenibles, y el internet del futuro.   Palabras claves— ciudades del futuro, energías renovables, fuentes de energía fósiles, generación distribuida (GD), internet del futuro, redes inteligentes.   Abstract   The aim of this paper is to present the impacts that fossil fuels are causing to the environment, add new sources of renewable energy and distributed generation choose GD, since excessive population growth has led to generate more electricity. Similarly integrate certain technologies such as smart grid and Smart grids, enabling remote communications two-way and available continuously for the collection of information. Finally give the big step towards smart, sustainable cities, and the internet of the future.   Index Terms— cities of the future, renewable energy, fossil energy sources, distributed generation (GD), internet of the future, smart grids.

The problem of rising fossil energy faced with the limited availability of the commodity in the future. Therefore, it needs new energy sources to tackle the issue. An alternative that can help the economy is the utilization of waste coconut shell that is processed into charcoal. With using principal component analysis, the result of the estimation indicates, there is a unique character that is contained in the shell charcoal commodity. The character of shell charcoal is closed to Giffen goods behavior. The most logical answer is because charcoal is the main raw material of shell burning for a restaurant that has a menu that was burned; and it becomes the unique preferences of the restaurant. They prefer barbecuing their food menu by using charcoal rather than other fuels such as stove, which uses kerosene and LPG. It is because barbecuing with charcoal will produce a better aroma than using the stove with fuel kerosene or LPG.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the main priority directions of the development of alternative energy sources in the context of the gradual replacement of part of the consumption of fossil energy with renewable energy. The influence of the identified trend on the development of the national economy of the Russian Federation is reflected. The influence of the development of alternative energy sources on the economic security of the Russian Federation is considered.
