This volume uses the fundamentals of thermodynamics toaddress primarilystudents as well as workers andresearchers in energy resource management and chemical andmechanical engineering.V.S. Stepanov's method ofanalysis of energy efficiency ofindustrial production schemes takes into account thethermodynamic chemical energy and "exergy" of allsubstances/apparatuses involved, from the acquisition ofrawmaterials to the recycling of waste products. Prognoses aremade forlarge-scale metallurgical plants. Particularemphasis is placed on theassessment of the optimal volumeof secondary energy resource use. ... Read more

Product Description

How can governments stimulate energy-efficiency improvement? This book analyzes environmental policy in the Netherlands to present a wealth of empirical results on the successes and failures of governmental initiatives in environmental policy. Discussion extends to such topics as free-rider effects of subsidies, the credibility of voluntary agreements, the art of regulation and the fate of research & development money.

Product Description
This book covers the state of the art of energy-efficient electric motor technologies, which can be used now and in the near future to achieve significant and cost-effective energy savings. Recent developments in advanced motor technologies by some of the largest manufacturers of motors and drives are also presented. Although energy-efficient motor technologies can save a huge amount of electricity, they still have not been widely adopted. The barriers which can hinder the adoption of those technologies are presented. Policies and programmes to promote the large scale penetration of energy-efficient technologies and the market transformation are featured in the book, describing the experiences carried out in different parts of the world. This extensive coverage includes contributions from relevant institutions in the European Union, North America, Latin America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. ... Read more

Product Description
Mind the Gap is an unprecedented attempt to quantify the size of one of the most pervasive barriers to energy efficiencyprincipal-agent problems, or in common parlance, variations on the landlord-tenant problem. In doing so, the book provides energy analysts and economists with unique insights into the amount of energy affected by principal-agent problems. Using an innovative methodology applied to eight case studies (covering commercial and residential sectors, and end-use appliances) from five different IEA countries, the analysis identifies over 3 800 PJ/year of affected energy usethat is, around 85% of the annual energy use of a country the size of Spain. The book builds on these findings to suggest a range of possible policy solutions that can reduce the impact of principal-agent problems and help policy makers mind the energy efficiency gap.Table of Content : Foreword Acknowledgements Executive Summary Introduction THEORY 1.Market Barriers to Energy Efficiency Improvements: Locating Principal Agent Problems within the Broader Context 2.
