Sustainable energy planning with sustainable aviation fuels, low-energy buildings, decarbonisation, micro-hydro and PV
Main Article Content
Abstract
This 48th volume of the International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management presents the most recent work on energy planning with a focus on production of aviation fuels, where biomass resources in Indonesia are assessed, and buildings’ energy demand in cold climates, providing a framework for assessing this. Further work present work on wider energy system decarbonisation choices, district heating system decarbonisation choices, electricity system decarbonisation choices as well as more targeted analyses of hydro power in Indonesia and block chain-assisted PV-based micro systems in Ethiopia.
