Current Alternative Energy - Volume 4, Issue 1, 2021

Fossil fuels have fueled the world economy for decades. However, given their limited nature, fluctuating prices and the escalating environmental concerns, there is an urgent need to develop and valorize cheaper, cleaner and sustainable alternative energy sources to curb these challenges. Biomass represents a valid alternative to fossil fuels, especially for fuel and chemical production as it represents the only natural organi Read More

Presently, one of the biggest predicaments in developing countries is the ever-growing local demand for electrical energy in the face of limited availability of locally derived natural resources. The Middle Eastern country of Jordan provides for an apt example of this. Domestically, Jordan generates a very limited amount of its own electrical energy output. Contributing 2.4% of its total energy consumption, Jordan has been Read More

The concept of disaster as a positive force for change seems intuitive, but is covered only occasionally in the energy transition literature. We review disaster risk and recovery literature to assess how these types of transformations may be different, and provide a change pathway within the popular Multi-Level Perspective framework. While incumbent systems are, by definition, stable (making change difficult), disaster can ov Read More

Aims: Field test for the conversion efficiency determination of high concentrating solar cells with the parabolic dish concentrating system in a tropical location.Background: Typical solar cell system using in a tropical location is a fixed panelviacommercial grade mono crystalline, poly crystalline or amorphous solar panels. They have low conversion efficiency, so they need a wide area to enhance electrical energy. The Read More
