This concluding chapter summarizes some of the information presented for the twelve different energy technologies examined in the book. The first section explores current trends in energy and some of the driving forces affecting these trends. The second section examines the electric vehicle, the bridge that can connect the electric sector with the transportation sector. The third section examines the potential for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States by the use of renewable fuels. Following this, a summary of proven and potential reserves is presented for both nonrenewable and renewable energy types. Finally, a summary is presented for the land and energy footprint of each technology.

Technologies that burn municipal solid waste (MSW) with energy recovery have come a long way in the past 100 years. Although the last new MSW-processing waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities constructed in the United States commenced operations in 1996, recent years have witnessed a renaissance of interest and activity, some of it in traditional mass-burn combustion but more in new conversion technologies. This presentation will provide an update on these renewable energy technologies and highlight several projects under development.

India has the world’s third highest carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, after China and the United States. The transportation sector is the third largest contributor to carbon dioxide emissions in India, accounting for roughly 11% of all carbon dioxide emissions in 2016. Road transport accounts for around 94% of the total carbon dioxide emissions of the transportation sector.

This study focuses on the mitigation of CO2 emissions in transportation and industrial processes using renewable energy technologies.  Carbon dioxide is a colourless, tasteless and odourless gas readily available in the earth’s atmosphere, produced naturally by all aerobic organisms. Increased human activities had created a huge gap between the volume of CO2 emitted into the environment and that absorbed by oceans and vegetations. Globally, the transportation sector has contributed more than seven billion, seven hundred and thirty-eight million metric tons of carbon dioxide from fuel combustion since 2015, while industrial processes also generate greenhouse gas emissions during chemical or physical transformation of raw materials from one state to another in their conversion into finished goods. Analysis suggested that the world can achieve 90% of the reduction in CO2 emissions needed to be within the Paris Agreement via an accelerated deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency, with the remaining 10% met by other low-carbon solutions.

Current Trends

Crisis related to distribution of COVID-19 requires significant state involvement in the response, which includes the definition of strategies formation and direct intervention in to the socio-economic processes. Governments of countries are addressing the development of stimulus and recovery packages strategies what have a goal to form in the future necessary potential for society and economy on the whole. In given environment, stable assets are needed, including an inclusive energy system capable of supporting energy development in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Program and the 2016 Paris Agreement, this requires further research of the prospects for innovative development of renewable energy sector in the crisis of COVID-19 in the transition from the use of fossil fuels to the use of renewable energy sources. Global forecasts from the International Renewable Energy Agency, the International Energy Agency, and the US Energy Information Administration have suggested ways to transform the global energy system. China's hybrid energy market is showing an increase in wind and solar energy production. Reduced costs in the United States have stimulated an increase in renewable energy capacity. In Ukraine, the important role of alternative energy can be identified in the stabilization of Ukraine's agro-industrial complex. In the article reviews current trends and conditions in the development of the energy sector in the transition from the use of fossil fuels to the use of renewable sources in China, United States and Ukraine in terms of forecasting generation and justification of investment directions. A number of technical challenges and problematic aspects of management in the renewable energy sector in Ukraine are highlighted. Long-term goals are proposed for all stakeholders of the energy system in the transition from the use of traditional fuel to the use of biopropellant. The conceptual principles and prospects of scientific research in the formation of the National Renewable Energy Development Plan until 2030 are also outlined.

Abstract Three decades after what is widely referred to as the transition from a First to a Second Nuclear Age, the world stands on the cusp of a possible Third Nuclear Age where the way that we conceptualise the central dynamics of the nuclear game will change again. This paradigm shift is being driven by the growth and spread of non-nuclear technologies with strategic applications and by a shift in thinking about the sources of nuclear threats and how they should be addressed, primarily, but not solely, in the United States. Recent scholarship has rightly identified a new set of challenges posed by the development of strategic non-nuclear weaponry (SNNW). But the full implications of this transformation in policy, technology and thinking for the global nuclear order as a whole have so far been underexplored. To remedy this, we look further ahead to the ways in which current trends, if taken to their logical conclusion, have the capacity to usher in a new nuclear era. We argue that in the years ahead, SNNW will increasingly shape the nuclear order, particularly in relation to questions of stability and risk. In the Third Nuclear Age, nuclear deployments, postures, balances, arms control, non-proliferation policy, and the prospects for disarmament, will all be shaped as much by developments in SNNW capabilities as by nuclear weapons. Consequently, we advocate for an urgent reassessment of the way nuclear order and nuclear risks are conceptualised as we confront the challenges of a Third Nuclear Age.
