The document discusses Australia's energy needs and climate change challenges. It shows that modern lifestyles demand high energy consumption. Coal currently makes up the largest portion of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia. The document outlines CSIRO's priorities to cut emissions from energy generation and use, increase fuel self-sufficiency, and enhance Australia's energy resources. A number of strategies are presented to achieve at least a 50% reduction in emissions by 2050, including distributed generation, energy efficiency, renewables, nuclear, cleaner fossil fuels, carbon capture and storage, more efficient transport, and synthetic fuels. It is noted that Australia's R&D capability in these areas is under threat.

This document provides an overview of energy efficiency programs and performance in Minnesota. It discusses the state's longstanding commitment to energy efficiency and recognition for its work. Key points include utilities achieving savings of over 120 million kWh and 2 million MCF in 2010. Program costs per kWh and MCF saved have declined. New guidance was also provided for low-income multifamily buildings and customers using delivered fuels. Looking ahead, the state aims to continue cost-effective energy efficiency programs that validate savings and reinforce efficiency as a resource.

Energy costs are projected to rise dramatically in the coming decades. Many companies have already implemented energy management initiatives that are integrated with their business and production processes. While most monitor their energy costs, few do so in real-time. Companies tend to rely on internally developed energy management applications rather than third party solutions. Common energy management systems that have been deployed include energy accounting software, energy analytics and reporting tools, and building energy management systems.

This is a presentation I made at the Annual Conference of International Association of Impact Assessment at Calgary, Canada in May, 2013

This seminar presentation summarizes the design of an improved cookstove. It describes the base design of the stove, which has a rectangular footprint and iron cook surface, and is surrounded by insulation. This design is capable of reducing emissions by 90% and fuel consumption by 50%. The presentation also outlines residual equations to model potential design improvements for increased cooking surface area, combustion chamber volume, and cook surface temperature. Testing showed the methodology effectively evaluated the stove's evolvability and optimized its design for flexibility.

This document outlines a project to engage graduate-recruiting employers in reviewing and endorsing open educational resources (OERs) published in the HumBox repository. The project aims to add value to existing OERs, reinforce communities of practice, and encourage open content publication and reuse. It will explore employers' motivations for reviewing, the types of OERs they may review, and the language they may use. The project also seeks to understand patterns of employer engagement with OERs and how reviews could impact OER dynamics. It poses questions about how employers and higher education institutions may approach open licensing and hosting reviews.

Green technology can benefit rural sectors by augmenting farm profitability while reducing environmental degradation and conserving natural resources. Some feasible green technologies for rural areas include solar photovoltaic, wind energy, biofuels, biogas, and organic farming. Biogas in particular converts agricultural waste into fuel and fertilizer, providing income generation potential through increased agricultural productivity and as a substitute for fuelwood and commercial fuels. While green technology promises sustainability, significant efforts are still needed to replace conventional practices and make applicable technologies affordable for poor countries.

The document discusses transforming traditional agriculture through the use of technology. It argues that traditional agriculture relies on long-established production factors but is inefficient. Modernizing traditional agriculture through investment in technology could increase productivity and ease distribution challenges. However, many states ignore agricultural investment, posing a barrier to transformation. The document also examines assumptions of Schultz's theory, including that increasing investment in traditional agriculture through technology applications could raise incomes and yields.

Renewable Energy & Social Enterprise in India. Research Project with Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship - SBS. Oxford.

This document provides an overview of a feasibility study conducted on green technology (GT) applications in selected member countries of the Asian and Pacific Centre for Agricultural Engineering and Machinery (APCAEM). The study assessed the status of GT in India, Malaysia, and Nepal through case studies and analyses of relevant policies. Key findings were that solar, wind, bioenergy, and efficiency technologies showed potential to increase agricultural output sustainably. The adoption of GT was found to help reduce poverty and generate rural income while conserving the environment. However, challenges around regulatory frameworks and sustainability assessments remained. Recommendations focused on developing supportive policies and further research on GT impacts.

The document discusses opportunities for renewable energy and direct investment between Japan and the United States. It notes that Japan's renewable energy sector, particularly solar PV, is expected to grow significantly in coming years. The US can help Japanese companies tap into renewable energy opportunities through events, matchmaking, and addressing regulatory challenges. The document also highlights that Japan is a major investor in the US, and Japanese direct investment is expected to continue growing as companies seek opportunities abroad due to Japan's aging population and high currency value. The Commercial Service can facilitate investment through counseling, matchmaking, and advocacy support.
