Facility-Level Greenhouse Gas Management:
Strategies for Energy Efficiency and Carbon Neutrality. Dr. Swisher's presentation summarizes the strategies that an organization
can use to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions at low cost. The specific
strategies include energy efficiency, distributed power, carbon trading,
and financial innovation.
Yellow Springs, Ohio -- More than 350 people from 39 states and five countries gathered here in late September with about 100 area residents to learn how to prepare at the local level for the coming steep decline in global oil production...
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF BIOFUELS. Dr. Pimentel will explore the production of ethanol and biodiesel fuels
and discuss his finding that it requires significantly more fossil fuel
inputs than what is produced as either ethanol or biodiesel implying that
increased biofuel production would actually increase the amount of oil
and natural gas that have to be imported by the U.S.
Over the last two years Petroleum Review has regularly updated its listing of forthcoming so-called "megaprojects". The aim of the listing is to attempt to answer the question as to whether sufficient oil is being developed to meet likely requirements going forward, writes Chris Skrebowski.
WORLD OIL PRODUCTION: PEAKING & ITS MITIGATION. Dr. Hirsch will discuss the peaking of world oil production, which he describes as the world's first ever discontinuity in energy -- a sudden limit on the supply of a commodity that is essential to the functioning of the world economy.
Join us to hear five experts’ take on the impending transition in energy supply and consumption, and how that transition will impact our economy, our environment, and our society. Many thanks to the Robertson Program for making this series possible.
Queensland Australia Parliament member Andrew McNamara speaks about the world's first known study of a region's vulnerability to energy shortages due to global oil peak.
The retired Professor of Physics from the University of Colorado in Boulder examines the arithmetic of steady growth, continued over modest periods of time, in a finite environment. These concepts are applied to populations and to fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal.
Caren Black and Christopher Paddon of The Lifeboad Show air and discuss portions of Matt Savinar's presentation on peak oil at the June 2005 Lifeboat Conference, and also read segments of Savinar's book, "The Oil Age Is Over".
