Energy World July/August 2013
Improving access to light in developing countries can have dramatic impacts on productivity levels by extending hours available for work and study. And if these lights are solar powered, there is a bonus in terms of avoided carbon emissions too. Read about more initiatives to provide sustainable energy for all in our round-up of this year’s Ashden Award winners on page 26.
The earlier feature articles in this issue, starting on page 14, take a look at larger-scale electricity generation in the developed world, with a series of articles offering differing views on the future for thermal power generation. We look at how emissions regulations are affecting the sector and how supercritical technology can reduce emissions.
And from page 28 we have articles looking at the side of the energy industry that often takes a back seat to power generation – heat. We look at the latest on the UK government’s heat strategy, as well as heating initiatives in eastern Europe. We also cover the Energy Institute’s Melchett lecture on page 32, this year from Professor David MacKay on numeracy, energy and climate change.
