Subject Turkey's plan for renewable energy. Significance Faced with growing dependence on imported gas and coal, low utilisation of domestic renewable energy resources and EU entry criteria, Turkey has launched its National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP). It aims to bring Turkey into line with EU targets for use of renewable energy by 2023. Turkey has been slow to encourage the development of renewables; both policy and legislation often seem designed to encourage giant coal, gas and nuclear plants. Impacts Elections and political inaction will slow upgrading and improving management of the national grid to suit the development of renewables. Bureaucratic and technical hurdles will slow developing licensed 'on-grid' solar plant, raising interest in 'off-grid' and unlicensed plant. Only in geo-thermal power does Turkey appear likely to exceed its planned generation target.

The University

At the University of Szeged, as the greenest University of Hungary, the sustainability project is built on two pillars. One of them is based on events and communication campaigns held regularly for the University citizens to prompt environmental-conscious behaviour, whereas the other is built on technological developments and on the extensive use of renewable energy resources. Thus the development of built environment and social responsibility both support the adequacy to sustainability requirements. The spreading of the effective solutions to making more and more buildings of the University energy efficient, numerous investments using renewable energy are also responsible for the decrease of the natural energy use of the institution contrary to the fact that the number of the buildings of the University of Szeged is continually increasing. It can be stated that the University of Szeged is committed to using renewable energy which is taken into consideration of each investment planning. The following examples confirm it: using geothermal cascade system for heating and cooling of five university bulidings, solar panels on 24 builidings and a unique technology of using the heat of wastewater to cool and heat one of the main bulidings of the university, namely the Study and Information Centre.

The use of renewable energies has a long past, even though its share of the total energy use is rather low in European terms. However, the tendencies are definitely favourable which is further strengthened by the dedication of the European Union to sustainable development and combat against climate change. The European Union is on the right track in achieving its goal which is to be able to cover 20% its energy need from renewable energy resources by 2020. The increased use of wind, solar, water, tidal, geothermal and biomass energy will reduce the energy import dependence of the European Union and it will stimulate innovation.

The energy cost and environmental problems such as greenhouse gas emissions have made efficient energy and renewable energy resources use a necessity for the care of the environment and for the economic and productive growth of the different sectors of a country’s economy. This has been achieved through policies that encourage the application of technologies that increase the processes efficiency and take advantage of the means available for generating power in different sectors of the economy where alternative power cycles like Goswami, Kalina, and ORC have great potential in both energy recovery and the use of renewable energy resources. In Colombia, the potential for using these technologies is wide in the industry since sectors such as Steel, cement, textile, among others, are made up. Where these cycles represent an opportunity for efficient energy use and, on the other hand, in the use of renewable energies such as geothermal and solar, these cycles have again proven to be viable, and due to the geographical location and characteristics of its soil, Colombia has a wide potential. All this shows the necessity for national policies that encourage efficient use through subsidies, investment, training, etc. For the application of alternative power cycles because their costs are so high and the support of financing instruments and policies at the national level is a latent need in Colombia.

Hybrid Renewable Energy

Many people in rural society of India does not have access to natural energy resources like LPG , electricity as there is no facilitation of grid erection. Hence it becomes imperative for country like India to go for renewable energy resources as alternative to conventional energy resources. This paper evaluations the potential of different sources of renewable energy in India. It also highlights the trends in the growth of renewable energy sector, although at the same time shows that there is need of a hybrid renewable energy model for rural electrification in India. Paper also shows the scope in using the agriculture waste as bio fuel which burned otherwise and prompt health hazards besides environmental pollution, also describing many technologies which are in the demonstration stage like Tidal, OTEC, Solar thermal power plants. Many constraints put development in the field of solar and wind sector, on hold like availability of solar rays throughout the year . The main aim of the paper is to evaluation all possible options in renewable energy sector so that large segment of rural population can have access to electricity and to meet their basic energy needs.

Today it's an important role of the renewable energy resources, improving energy efficiency, thereby contributing to sustainable, ecofriendly use of local energy resources. Globally intensify the requirements and considerations related to environmental conservation. In this light, the main objective of the Hungarian energy concept is to maintain long-term security of supply, the economy and the environment occurring contradictions. So there is a need for systems that, in compliance with EU environmental directives, acceptable cost level will ensure the desired and expected security of supply. In the study, three companies and other technical parameters of these are examined. For each undertaking, different results were observed. For two undertakings, we are talking about realized investments, in one case a prognosis was examined. All three companies contributed to the requirement of renewable energy sources reaching 13% in Hungary by 2020.

Content Type

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate a wall-integrated solar chimney for passive ventilation of a building cavity. Ventilation is required to improve the circulation of air in the built environment. This can be achieved through natural or forced convection. Natural circulation can be driven by renewable energy, and so it promotes sustainable exploitation of energy resources. Solar energy is one of the promising renewable energy resources. Design/methodology/approach The chimney was designed to face the Equator on the wall of a room which required ventilation. Mean monthly daily heating and cooling loads of the room were computed with and without a solar chimney by using hourly meteorological data from nine different weather sites at low, medium and high latitudes. The chimney was implemented with and without airflow control, and simulated by using the ESP-r software. Findings Results show that the solar chimney with airflow control marginally reduced the heating load in the building envelope, with a similar effect being exhibited by the chimney with uncontrolled airflow. The cooling load was reduced by the controlled airflow at all the nine sites. In contrast, the uncontrolled airflow increased the cooling load at some sites. In addition, the chimney with airflow control reduced the annual total thermal load at all the sites, while the chimney with uncontrolled airflow raised the total thermal load at some locations. Originality/value The performance of solar chimneys designed with and without airflow control systems has been investigated under the same prevailing meteorological conditions at a given site. Findings show that controlling airflow in a solar chimney reduces the total thermal load in the built environment. This information can be applied in different parts of the world.

Subject Sri Lanka's plans to start hydrocarbon production. Significance Sri Lanka is aiming to start hydrocarbon production within four years. It currently relies on imports of oil and coal to meet its energy needs. Impacts A focus on oil and gas exploration will detract from development of renewable energy resources. Limited exploration success would mean long-term dependence on LNG imports. Adoption of a new gas policy may provide some certainty regarding the direction of the country’s energy policy.
