TL;DR: The energy demand and supply projections of the Swiss government funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy and carried out by a consortium of institutes and consulting companies are based on two types of energy models: macroeconomic general equilibrium models and bottom-up models for each sector as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the waste management of post-consumer plastics in Germany and its potential to save fossil fuels and reduce CO 2 emissions is discussed. But the authors do not support a general recommendation of energy recovery, mainly due to the large difference between the German average and the best available waste-to-energy facilities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the energy saving potentials in the complete conversion chain from primary energy to energy services in the main sectors of economy: buildings, transport and industry, and highlighted the possible benefits which could be obtained from new materials, new technologies and an intensification of product and capital use.

TL;DR: In this article, the technical and economic potentials of wind power, the recent development, existing obstacles, and related policies in China are discussed and the barriers to further commercialization of the wind power market are important and may deter the 100 GW capacity target of the Chinese government by 2020.

TL;DR: In this article, a material flow simulation model is used to analyze the production of plastics products, their use and residence times in the economy and finally to calculate the present and future amounts of waste.
