Sustainable Energy Development (SED) and the main factors for achieving SED measures: use of renewables, energy efficiency and care for the environment. Primary and final energy needs. Energy, economic and environmental comparison of different types of energy resources (fossil fuels, nuclear fuels and energy from renewable sources). Economic and environmental indicators of energy intensity. Strategies for energy development with integrated evaluation factors for achieving SED. Economic evaluation of the different factors that affect the achievement of SED. Optimisation between investment costs for new technologies and systems for SED and the benefits of them expressed in energy prices and the social aspect. Modern technologies and systems to reduce pollutants from energy production facilities in order to preserve the environment. |
