Not exact matches

Concerns about global warming and oil's imminent demise have caused scientists and policy - makers to look for solutions in both the future and the past: to new technologies such as nuclear fusion, multijunction photovoltaics, and fuel cells — and to traditional energy sources such as water power, wind power, and (sustainable) biomass cultivation (coupled with clean and energy - efficient combustion).

This analytical report draws attention to the global energy access situation and highlights that three billion people still rely on traditional biomass and coal; with a striking two million deaths per year associated with indoor burning of solid fuels in unventilated kitchens.

Another category is biomass grown in excess of what would have grown absent the demand for bioenergy, such as growing winter cover crops for energy and replacing traditional — yet inefficient — fuel wood harvests in some poor countries with wood grown in agroforestry systems and local plantations.

With the inclusion of traditional biomass, heating and cooking will remain the principal uses of renewable fuels over the next 25 years.

Can Be Used For Diesel or Jet Fuels - 90 % Emission Reductions BP pumps up the fact that production of biofuels via the fermentation of sugars offers to potential to produce fuels with greenhouse gas emissions reductions of 80 - 90 % below traditional fossil fuels, can be use with a wide variety of biomass feedstocks, and has the ability to tailor the end product for a variety of diesel and jet fuel needs.

Alongside policy support, drivers supporting the roll out of district heating include the decarboni - sation trend, as district heating can harness a range of renewable or low - carbon energy sources such as biomass and geothermal; energy security, as district heat - ing can improve the reliability of access to energy at both the user and national levels by re - ducing reliance on cen - tral energy networks; and energy efficiency, which is higher with district heating than traditional boilers.
