Mineral Resource Economy 2
The challenges associated with the environmental impact of renewable energies are formidable and multiple. The exploitation of diffuse forms of energy will require us to reshape our lifestyles and infrastructures. Reducing their environmental impact is imperative and requires the mobilization of all available levers of action. Beyond the analysis of these challenges, this book presents an overview of the levers of action that should allow us to meet them, by crossing the fields of the human sciences, geosciences and engineering. The levers of action examined are both technical (through the substitution or use of low technology) and economic and social (through the development of recycling or decoupling). The book also addresses the question of their effectiveness and their overall impact.
Mineral Resources Economy 1
The constant increase in the consumption of mineral resources, as well as the growing awareness of their exploitation, is causing deep concern within the scientific community. This concern is justified by the fact that the energy transition will increase the pressure on these resources, as renewable energies require an increased and more diversified quantity of mineral materials. This book presents an overview of the exploitation of these mineral resources, where the natural, regulatory and environmental constraints interfere with economic, financial and geopolitical interests. By mobilizing the fields of the humanities, geosciences and engineering, it also analyzes the challenges that the energy transition will encounter, challenges related to the contradictory effects that the acceleration of the extraction of these resources will have on their physical availability, the economies that exploit them and the populations that live off of them
L’économie des ressources minérales et le défi de la soutenabilité 1
L’augmentation constante de la consommation de ressources minérales ainsi que la prise de conscience croissante des nuisances occasionnées par leur exploitation provoquent une profonde inquiétude au sein de la communauté scientifique. Cette inquiétude est d’autant plus justifiée que la transition énergétique va aggraver la pression exercée sur ces ressources, les techniques de production des énergies renouvelables nécessitant une quantité accrue et plus diversifiée de matières minérales. Cet ouvrage présente un panorama du contexte de l’exploitation de ces ressources minérales, où les contraintes naturelles, réglementaires et environnementales interfèrent avec les intérêts économiques, financiers et géopolitiques. En mobilisant les champs des sciences humaines, des géosciences et de l’ingénierie, il analyse également les défis que la transition énergétique nécessite de relever, des défis liés aux effets contradictoires que va entraîner l’accélération de l’extraction de ces ressources sur leur disponibilité physique, sur les économies qui les exploitent et sur les populations qui en vivent.
L’économie des ressources minérales et le défi de la soutenabilité 2
Les défis associés à l’impact environnemental des énergies renouvelables sont redoutables et multiples, tant l’exploitation de formes d’énergie diffuses va nécessiter de remodeler nos modes de vie et nos infrastructures. Réduire leur impact environnemental est un impératif qui nécessite de mobiliser l’ensemble des leviers d’action disponibles. Au-delà de l’analyse de ces défis, cet ouvrage présente un panorama des leviers d’action qui devraient permettre de les relever, en croisant les champs des sciences humaines, des géosciences et de l’ingénierie. Les leviers d’action examinés sont multiples : à la fois techniques (par substitution ou appel à des low tech) et économiques et sociaux (par développement du recyclage ou découplage). L’ouvrage traite également de la question de leur efficacité et de leur impact global.
Emerging Consensus on Net Energy Paves the Way for Improved Integrated Assessment Modeling
Extracting, processing, and delivering energy requires energy itself, which reduces the net energy available to society and yields considerable socioeconomic implications. Yet, most mitigation pathways and transition models overlook net energy feedbacks, specifically related to the decline in the quality of fossil fuel deposits, as well as energy requirements of the energy transition. Here, we summarize our position across 8 key points that converge to form a prevailing understanding regarding EROI (Energy Return on Investment), identify areas of investigation for the Net Energy Analysis community, discuss the consequences of net energy in the context of the energy transition, and underline ...
Energy Transition
This book presents both the importance of energy transition and its associated difficulties. Energy Transition, Second Edition, provides an explanation of the physical concepts of energy and power and also reviews global energy consumption and our dependence on energy. The book discusses the links between the economy and energy. It explains the drawbacks and dangers of different energy sources and tries to compare them. By reviewing future energy resources, it evaluates several transition scenarios. The book shows that the laws of physics prevent the emergence of simple, pleasant solutions, but it proposes potential solutions and encourages readers to develop better processes from energy sou...
Adapt and Be Adept
How can markets help us adapt to the challenges of climate change? Editor Terry L. Anderson brings together this collection of essays featuring the work of nine leading policy analysts, who argue that market forces are just as important as government regulation in shaping climate policy—and should be at the heart of our response to helping societies adapt to climate change. Anderson notes in his introduction that most current climate policies such as the Paris Agreement require hard-to-enforce collective action and focus on reducing or mitigating greenhouse gases rather than adapting to their negative effects. Adaptive actions can typically deliver much more, faster and more cheaply than a...
