This document sets. the energy sector''s national strategies and targets for 2014-2025 including 50% renewable generation by 2025 and. opportunities for solar and biomass technologies.
Abstract. The consumption of renewable energy should increase by 300% by 2050 compared to 2010 due to the rising demand for green electricity, stringent government mandates on low-carbon fuels, and competitive biofuel production costs, thus calling for advanced methods of energy production. Here we review the use of activated carbon, a …
Renewable energy is rapidly being adopted by mining companies as the combination of off-grid power and cheaply available renewables offers a strong business case.
