Currently, the forest biomass energy development is at an initial stage and the estimation method for the forest biomass energy resource reserve is to be unified and refined although there is a great value and potential in the development and utilization of forest biomass energy in China. Based on the existing studies, the present paper analyzes the origins and types of forest biomass energy resources in the perspective of sustainable forestry management, constructs the estimation model using a bottom-up approach, and estimates the total existing forest biomass energy resource reserve in China based on the data of the 7th Forest Resource Survey. The estimation method and the calculation results provide the important theoretical ground for promoting the rational development of forest biomass energy in China.

The students of the Faculties of Engineering of the Universitty of Basque Country (Gipuzkoa-Eibar and Bilbao) in the last years of their studies, before becoming engineers, have the opportunity to select a block of subjects intended to enhance their knowledge on Wind Energy, Ocean Energy, Biomass and Hydraulic Energy. These subjects are devoted to different aspects of the water cycle management, and geographical representations of wind, ocean and biomass energy resource. Apart from the transmission of good practices, the focus is practical and is based on hands-on computer real-life exercises, which involves not only intensive programming using high-level software, but also the spatial representation of results. To that purpose three main open source codes are used: EPANET (https://www.epa.gov/water-research/epanet), QGIS (https://www.qgis.org/) and R (https://www.cran.r-project.org/). Students learn how to address real-life problems regarding the correct calculation of water distribution networks with EPANET, geographical representation of wind and ocean energy resource with R, and spatial representation of biomass resource with QGIS.

We developed a dual-fuel single can combustor for the Niigata Gas Turbine (NGT2BC), which was developed as a continuous-duty gas turbine capable of burning both kerosene and digester gas. The output of the NGT2BC is 920 kW for continuous use with digester gas and 1375 kW for emergency use with liquid fuel. Digester gas, obtained from sludge processing at sewage treatment plants, is a biomass energy resource whose use reduces CO2 emissions and take advantage of an otherwise wasted energy source. Design features for good combustion with digester gas include optimized the good matching of gas injection and swirl air and reduced reference velocity. The optimal combination of these parameters was determined through CFD analysis and atmospheric rig testing.

Energy And Environment

<p>Since conventional energy resources are major source of CO<sub>2</sub> emission, over reliance on fossil fuels has raised questions on environmental sustainability. On way to address these multi-faceted issues of conventional energy sources, the sustainability of energy and environment is through the green economy approach. As such, this paper aims to discuss the concept of green economy in relation with renewable energy. The interdependence of green economy and environmental quality as well as the compatibility of green economy approach with the notion of sustainable development are demonstrated in the paper. Green economy approach fulfils the methodological gaps that exist in the growth models. It is believed that the best economic tool to attain sustainable development goals is by integrating social, economic and environmental elements. Furthermore, energy is believed to be a significant player in determining the greenness of the economy and sustainability as it has economic and environmental value. In addition, this study illustrates the significance of biomass energy resource and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from fossil fuel combustion. The illustration framework justifies that biomass is the determinant renewable energy source to be a proxy for renewable energy resources. Similarly, it justifies that CO<sub>2</sub> emission of energy sector is considerably significant to represent the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of the atmosphere.</p>

Demand Distribution

In India the electricity demand is growing rapidly day by day due to various increasing residential, official and organizational buildings which requires more power. Electricity generation system is dominated by a hybrid renewable energy resources like wind and solar, approximately 35% from 2007 to till now, still power shutdown is applied compulsory by the Indian Government. In order to improve the amount of power generation to 100% with increased thermal, fossil-fueled, and bio-gas power generation is converted into complete solar, wind and thermal including peaking options. In order to fulfil the demand, the wind capacity is increased from 35% into 100% by incorporating solar and thermal. Incorporating various energy systems into stand alone power grid, the highest power demand can be fulfilled. This paper applied an application for mixing various energy resource for increasing the power generation and production.

Africa's renewable energy resource base is large. Traditional patterns of energy use have resulted in widespread environmental degradation. Renewable energy technologies are capable of harnessing this energy on a sustainable basis. However, despite some notable successes, efforts to disseminate these tech nologies have resulted in numerous failures. The failure of such efforts has been attributed to a variety of problems which have yet to be evaluated in a comprehensive and policy-relevant form. Such analysis is prerequisite to enabling policy-makers to act effectively.

The article studies the formation and development of the fuel and energy resource base in the Far East of the USSR on the eve of and during the Great Patriotic War. Research objectives: to determine the features of the formation in the Far East of an industrial complex for the extraction, processing and distribution of energy resources; to analyze the production activities of coal mining, electric power and oil industries; to identify the main challenges of the development of the fuel and energy resource base and show the ways of their solution by the Soviet party and economic bodies in the period under review. The methodological basis of the study is traditional historical methods, as well as the method of system analysis. The study reveals that the development of the fuel and energy resource base of the region was due to its isolation from the industrially developed regions of the country, the specifics of economic development of the region, the location of fuel-producing regions and large industrial consumers of energy resources, the complexity of the geological structure of coal deposits, and the limited financial, material and labor resources, incomplete construction and reconstruction of energy facilities. The author concludes that the central and local party and economic bodies made a lot of organizational efforts to develop the fuel and energy resource base of the Far East and to solve complex issues of material and technical support for enterprises, especially during the Great Patriotic War.
