'The Economics of Electric Vehicles for Passenger Transportation' provides answers to three critical questions: Why should developing countries pursue e-mobility? When does an accelerated transition to electric vehicles (EVs) make sense for developing countries? How can governments make this transition happen? A key finding from the research is that there is a strong economic case for EVs in many developing countries. This is news because, despite growing momentum and interest in the sector, 90 percent of EV sales are still concentrated in major markets such as China, Europe, and the United States. According to original models developed by the report's authors, developing countries can look ...
Lex Fullarton takes a closer look at the three pillars of the sustainable development framework known as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL). The concept of the TBL is that for a project to be sustainable it must not simply be profitable in economic terms, but it must also benefit society and enhance the natural environment. In the 21st century, the greatest threat to Earth’s natural environment and the population of the planet is the rise of greenhouse gas emissions caused from burning fossil fuel as an energy source. The rise of GHG emissions has resulted in a rise in the ambient air temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and is resulting in a significant change in climatic conditions on Earth...
Advanced District Heating and Cooling (DHC) Systems presents the latest information on the topic, providing valuable information on the distribution of centrally generated heat or cold energy to buildings, usually in the form of space heating, cooling, and hot water. As DHC systems are more efficient and less polluting than individual domestic or commercial heating and cooling systems, the book provides an introduction to DHC, including its potential contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, then reviews thermal energy generation for DHC, including fossil fuel-based technologies, those based on renewables, and surplus heat valorization. Final sections address methods to improve the ...
Fahrzeugingenieure in Praxis und Ausbildung benötigen den raschen und sicheren Zugriff auf Grundlagen und Details der Fahrzeugtechnik sowie wesentliche zugehörige industrielle Prozesse. Solche Informationen, die in ganz unterschiedlichen Quellen abgelegt sind, systematisch und bewertend zusammenzuführen, hat sich dieses Handbuch zum Ziel gesetzt. Damit eröffnet das Buch dem Leser im Zusammenhang mit relevantem Schrifttum einen weitgehenden Einblick in den heutigen Stand und die Weiterentwicklung der Fahrzeugtechnik, den Einblick in alle Aggregate, Komponenten und Systeme moderner Fahrzeuge, Einblicke in den gesamten Lebenszyklus eines Automobils und einen Überblick über den gesamten Produktentstehungsprozess. Die Autoren sind bedeutende Fachleute der deutschen Automobil- und Zuliefererindustrie, sie stellen sicher, dass Theorie und Praxis vernetzt vermittelt werden. Der überraschend schnelle Abverkauf der 1. Auflage mit 3000 Exemplaren in 5 Monaten ermöglichte diese fehlerkorrigierte Auflage und das mit allerneuester Literatur aktualisierte Quellenverzeichnis. Zusätzlich wurde ein Firmenverzeichnis mit jeweiligem Beitrag und Mitarbeiter aufgenommen.
