ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES: POTENTIAL FOR INPUT-OUTPUT AND SUPPLY-CHAIN ANALYSES IN IRAN

Environmental impacts from the solar energy technologies

Solar energy systems (photovoltaics, solar thermal, solar power) provide significant environmental benefits in comparison to the conventional energy sources, thus contributing, to the sustainable development of human activities. Sometimes however, their wide scale deployment has to face potential negative environmental implications. These potential problems seem to be a strong barrier for a fur...

Sustainable Development vs Environmental Engineering: Energy Issues

Man can't live without environment, one with some strictly specified parameters. Despite this known truth, the relation between man and environment is far from peaceful coexistence. From history's point of view, it can be noticed that mankind have repeatedly caused environmental disasters. At first those were purely local. The primitive nomad usually moved elsewhere in the face of an ecological...

Environmental citizenship and public attitudes to hydrogen energy technologies

Some of the principal arguments in the debate about environmental citizenship are examined with reference to the development of hydrogen energy systems. In particular, qualitative evidence is drawn from a study of public attitudes towards hydrogen energy technologies and their perceived risks and benefits. Using data from focus groups in three areas of the UK, it is argued that while there is a...
