Identifying Low Carbon Technology for Sustainable Energy Development in Indonesia [PDF]
, 2014 As a developing country, Indonesia has voluntarily committed to reduce its green-house gases(GHGs) emissions by 26% with its self-financing, or 41% with addition of foreign aids, by year 2020.This target will carry consequences for Indonesia to make an ...

Time to burn: landscape drivers of fuel trait variability and fire regime in savanna ecosystems
Oikos, EarlyView.Fuel traits are important determinants of fire behavior and regime in savannas and, thus, of how fire affects plant communities. However, whether these traits are correlated, predictable and how they are influenced by biotic and abiotic drivers remain to be rigorously evaluated.

The role of biomass in the renewable energy system [PDF]
, 2012 Europe is striving for zero carbon electricity production by 2050 in order to avoid dangerous climate change. To meet this target a large variety of options is being explored. Biomass is such an option and should be given serious consideration.

Expert‐led priorities for a response diversity research agenda in ecology
Oikos, EarlyView.Response diversity describes variation in ecological responses to environmental change. Response diversity is expected to drive ecological stability since a wider variety of responses to one or more environmental factors should stabilise fluctuations of ecosystem functions. However, uptake of empirical response diversity research has been slow. Here we

Review on Mercury Control during Co-Firing Coal and Biomass under O2/CO2 Atmosphere
Applied SciencesCombining biomass co-firing with oxy-fuel combustion is a promising Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) technology. It has the potential to achieve a large-scale reduction in carbon emissions from traditional power plants, making it a ...

Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting Mediterranean shrub
Oikos, EarlyView.Fire and drought increasingly co‐occur, exposing plants to greater drought stress during post‐fire resprouting. Yet, the effect of this combination of disturbances on plant fitness remains poorly understood. Here, we examine how post‐fire resprouting influences reproductive success under drought conditions in the Mediterranean shrub Anthyllis ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Biocomposites produced with agro‐industrial waste from castor hulls and pinewood bonded with urea‐formaldehyde adhesive, intended for application as thermal insulation in buildings. ABSTRACT The production of composite particleboards with agricultural waste has been the focus of many studies that aim to address environmental problems due to waste ...

The Effect of Co-Combusted Biomass-Coal Fly Ash on the Behaviour Portland Cement
This project has investigated the hydration behaviour of pfa-OPC blended cements, comparing conventional pfa with that obtained from co-firing of coal with biomass (palm kernel expeller).
