Energy World June 2015

01/06/2015

There’s a lot about air quality in towns and cities, low carbon transport and electric and fuel cell electric vehicles in this issue, in a series of articles that make up our energy in transport feature.

We try to answer some fundamental questions: how important are low carbon transport options to Britain’s efforts both to cutting overall carbon emissions and to improving some rather poor urban air quality? We also include an article on how electric charging and alternative fuelling stations are being developed within EU countries.

On energy purchasing and management, the government’s Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is top of most energy managers’ in-trays at the moment, with the first reporting deadline in December this year. We include articles on ESOS within a European context, why business energy users need to consider switching energy suppliers, and the interplay between voltage optimisation and electricity storage.

Three further articles cover the need to reform the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, the re-emergence of direct current as a force within buildings, and a ground-breaking ‘smart town’ development in Japan.
