The buildings sector is responsible for about 30–40% and 15–25% of the primary energy use in developed and developing countries, respectively [1,2].Also, this sector is responsible for 19% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions [3,4].Thus, being a major consumer of energy and a significant source of GHG emissions worldwide, the buildings …
Around 16 states have implemented some form of policy directed at energy storage, which broadly fall into five categories: procurement targets, regulatory adaptation, …
Moreover, it addresses the recent change in the direction of the energy-storage policy for the State Grid and China Southern Power Grid and analyzes the primary problems existing in China''s energy-storage policy. Finally, this study suggests certain policy changes to promote the development of energy storage in China.
The pace of deployment of some clean energy technologies – such as solar PV and electric vehicles – shows what can be achieved with sufficient ambition and policy action, but faster change is urgently needed across most components of the energy system to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, according to the IEA''s latest evaluation of global progress.
Energy storage resources are becoming an increasingly important component of the energy mix as traditional fossil fuel baseload energy resources transition to renewable energy sources. There are currently 23 …
Although many risk studies investigate perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors, the causal relationships among them have not yet been verified. Thus, further investigations of these relationships are necessary. This study analyzes three causal models consisting of three components: perceptions (i.e., perceived risk in this study), attitudes (i.e., satisfaction), and …
Accordingly, by tracing the evolution of the energy storage policies during 2010–2020 comprehensively, a better understanding of the policy intention and implementation can be obtained ...
Energy storage resources are becoming an increasingly important component of the energy mix as traditional fossil fuel baseload energy resources transition to renewable energy sources. There are currently 23 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, that have 100% clean energy goals in place. Storage can play a significant role in achieving these …
2.1 Policy background. Although the pilot policy cannot replace the existing policies and objectives of the central government, it aims to stimulate local policymaking, enabling cities to leverage the NEDCC to address environmental and energy dilemmas under sustainable development and cultivate new economic growth points (Yuan et al. 2018).The …
The bigger factor, though, will be doing internships in energy, working with or professors doing advanced materials research, and relevant coursework (either by a major concentration, double major, or minor). Hope this helps!
