In this regards, renewable energy such as landfill gas (LFG) has become one of the most attractive options to sustain Taiwan's continued economic development. Considering that approximately 35,379 tonnes of MSW is generated daily in Taiwan and disposed of in local landfills, LFG from sanitary landfills is one of the most attractive options to be developed...]]></description><pubDate>31/01/2009 09:38:41</pubDate><author>T.A.

The practical realization of this concept depends on the timescale to which it is applied.

Water is one of the most abundant resources on earth, covering three???fourths of the planet's surface. However, about ninety- seven percent of the earth's water is salt water in the oceans, and a tiny three percent is fresh water.

The major component of any solar system is the solar collector. This is a device which absorbs the incoming solar radiation, converts it into heat, and transfers this heat to a fluid (usually air, water, or oil) flowing through the collector.

PEMFC technology was initially developed for military and spacecraft applications at General Electric (USA) in the 1960s. Unfortunately it was abandoned in the 1970s, probably due to the issue of high cost.

It is typically expressed in US dollar per metric tonne of carbon. If the social cost of carbon is evaluated along an emission trajectory that is Pareto optimal, then the social cost of carbon equals the Pigou tax. The social cost of carbon is thus a measure of the seriousness of climate change, and a yardstick against which to judge actual and proposed climate policy.The social cost...]]></description><pubDate>18/08/2008 21:42:04</pubDate><author>Richard S.J.
