Bio-based Energy Scenarios: Looking for Waste

Policy Profile : The Application of Waste Legislation to Bio - Energy

This article examines the EU Waste Directive and the implications of recent European case law for its implementation at national level. In particular, we consider how the directive has been implemented in the United Kingdom and the potential effects this may have on the use of forestry by-products as a bio-energy source. The analysis reveals that it is still unclear whether bio-energy materials...

Scenarios for Fusion Energy

Are there scenarios for the near future (5-10 years) in which the public interest in, and political support for, fusion energy are likely to increase significantly? If such a scenario should occur, what should the status of Heavy Ion Fusion be at that time so that it is looked upon as a favored approach? If such a status can be identified, what should the research strategy be so that this statu...

The search for alternatives is all the more urgent, but some of the solutions investigated hark back to fossil fuels that we can't afford to burn.
