| Food and energy security have increasingly acquired key natural resource policy focus. As alternative energy solutions become more land intensive, the potential implication to the agricultural sector becomes of policy interest. This study investigated the impact of projected wind energy development in Michigan on the agricultural sector. Results indicate that land lease payments overtime for wind turbine siting are expected to generate $50 million per year, impacting agricultural viability. Spatial distribution analysis suggests that most of the projected lease payments to farmers are concentrated in low value agricultural land, low value agricultural production, urban influenced, and low net farm income locations. We found that the spatial distribution of... |

| As a renewable energy source, wind power is gaining popularity as a favoured alternative to fossil fuel, nuclear and hydro power generation. In Europe, countries are required to achieve 15% of their energy consumption from wind by 2010 as the EU strives to meet its Kyoto obligations. Wind power is considered to be environmentally friendly and low cost. While environmental friendliness has come under scrutiny because wind turbines continue to pose a hazard to birds, are visually unappealing, affect the uses of land and change air flows, the purpose of this paper is to examine the question of its presumed low cost and effectiveness at reducing CO2 emissions by replacing power generated from fossil fuels. To do so, we develop a mathematical programming model... |

| Összességében megállapítható, hogy Magyarországon az elmúlt fél évszázadban rendkívül megnőtt az energiafelhasználás, ami többnyire a fosszilis tüzelőanyagokból nyert energiára alapult. Ez arra készteti a jelen és a jövő kor társadalmát, hogy törekedjen a rendelkezésre álló megújuló energiaforrások felhasználásának előtérbe helyezésére, melyek használata a fenntarthatóság és a versenyképesség szempontjából sem elhanyagolható, hiszen ismert, hogy napjaink egyik kritikus költségtényezőjét adják az energiaköltségek. A megoldásban jelentős szerep hárul a vidéki társadalmakra, mert hiába történik az energiafelhasználás zöme az urbanizált területeken, az energia-előállítás, kitermelés a vidékre koncentrálódik. A fosszilis tüzelőanyagok korlátaiból adódóan új... |

| This study provides an evaluation of the performance of five renewable energy technologies used to generate electricity: biomass, geothermal, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal, and wind. We compared the actual performance of these technologies against stated projections that helped shape public policy goals over the last three decades. Our findings document a significant difference between the success of renewable technologies in penetrating the U.S. electricity generation market and in meeting cost-related goals, when compared with historic projections. In general, renewable technologies have failed to meet expectations with respect to market penetration. They have succeeded, however, in meeting or exceeding expectations with respect to their cost. To a... |

| A linear programming model is used to examine the impact of carbon taxes on the optimal generation mix in the Alberta electrical system. The model permits decommissioning of generating assets with high carbon dioxide emissions and investment in new gas-fired, wind and, in some scenarios, nuclear capacity. Although there is an intertie from Alberta to the U.S., the focus is on the connection to British Columbia as wind energy can potentially be stored in reservoirs behind hydroelectric dams. However, storage can also be used to smooth out the net load facing nuclear facilities. A carbon tax facilitates early removal of coal-fired capacity, which is replaced by low-emissions gas plants. It is only when the carbon tax exceeds $125/tCO2 that wind enters the... |

| This article presents current investment and operating costs of ethanol and biodiesel plants for alternative prices of feedstock. The price of these two fuels is estimated for alternative prices of crude oil with the existing renewable fuels policy. The excise tax credit, currently $0.51 per gallon of ethanol and $1.00 per gallon of biodiesel, is a major contributor to the fuel price and profitability of these industries. The analysis demonstrates how the crude oil price, feedstock price, and excise tax credits interact to impact profitability of these industries |

| Situado na Zona da Mata pernambucana, o município de Tracunhaém tem como principal atividade econômica a cerâmica artesanal. A arte ceramista do município conta com renomados artistas, o que faz da cidade um dos maiores centros de excelência na arte da modelagem do barro no país. Pernambuco abriga parte de dois biomas importantíssimos para a biodiversidade do planeta, a Mata Atlântica e a Caatinga, apresenta preocupante estado de degradação ambiental.Os impactos variam desde pequenos focos de desmatamentos, até áreas em processo de desertificação. Este trabalho analisa a demanda por biomassa florestal pelos artesãos de Tracunhaém, em Pernambuco. As atividades desenvolvidas pelos artesãos apresentam um grande potencial impactante, pois além de utilizarem a... |

| Our aim was to establish the specific objectives and toolkit of eco-energetic marketing targeting the North Hungarian region, through a primary survey of 600 persons. Our research objective was to examine – taking the region’s economic and social circumstances into consideration – what conditions, consumer reception, and affinity is needed to gain competitive advantage with the involvement of renewable energy sources, and also to point out the characteristics of how the population currently uses energy, its mode and satisfaction level. During the examination of consumers’ familiarity level with renewable energy sources we observed the dominance of solar, hydro, and wind energy, nevertheless, their knowledge about these renewable energy sources was rather... |
