TL;DR: The storage of thermal energy in the form of sensible and latent heat has become an important aspect of energy management with the emphasis on efficient use and conservation of the waste heat and solar energy in industry and buildings as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The storage of thermal energy in the form of sensible and latent heat has become an important aspect of energy management with the emphasis on efficient use and conservation of the waste heat and solar energy in industry and buildings. Latent heat storage is one of the most efficient ways of storing thermal energy. Solar energy is a renewable energy source that can generate electricity, provide hot water, heat and cool a house, and provide lighting for buildings. Paraffin waxes are cheap and have moderate thermal energy storage density but low thermal conductivity and, hence, require a large surface area. Hydrated salts have a larger energy storage density and a higher thermal conductivity. In response to increasing electrical energy costs and the desire for better lad management, thermal storage technology has recently been developed. The storage of thermal energy in the form of sensible and latent heat has become an important aspect of energy management with the emphasis on the efficient use and conserv...

TL;DR: This article examined the causal relationship between renewable and non-renewable energy consumption by sector and real gross domestic product (GDP) in the US using annual data from 1949 to 2006.
Abstract: This study examines the causal relationship between renewable and non-renewable energy consumption by sector and real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the US using annual data from 1949 to 2006. The Toda-Yamamoto long-run causality tests reveal the absence of Granger-causality between commercial and industrial renewable energy consumption and real GDP, respectively. Bidirectional Granger-causality exists between commercial and residential non-renewable energy consumption and real GDP, respectively. Finally, the results indicate unidirectional causality from residential renewable energy consumption and industrial non-renewable energy consumption, respectively to and real GDP.

TL;DR: In this article, a methodological framework is developed to provide insights regarding the suitability of multi-criteria techniques in the context of renewable energy planning, and a comparative matrix is created with the various appropriate multicriteria techniques and their performance.
Abstract: This article develops a methodological framework to provide insights regarding the suitability of multi-criteria techniques in the context of renewable energy planning. The second section presents main characteristics of the particular decision-making process. The third section presents the main multi-criteria analysis methods, and the fourth section reveals the requirements of the techniques for renewable energy planning and the main attributes under which these methods should be evaluated. Subsequently, in the fifth section, a comparative matrix is created with the various appropriate multi-criteria techniques and their performance. Finally in the sixth sec tion, we present our conclusions.

TL;DR: This article examined the causal relationship between biomass energy consumption and real gross domestic product (GDP) within a multivariate framework and revealed unidirectional causality from biomass consumption to real GDP supportive of the growth hypothesis.
Abstract: This empirical note utilizes US annual data from 1949 to 2007 to examine the causal relationship between biomass energy consumption and real gross domestic product (GDP) within a multivariate framework. Toda-Yamamoto causality tests reveal unidirectional causality from biomass energy consumption to real GDP supportive of the growth hypothesis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the dynamic causalities between economic growth, financial development, international trade, tourism expenditure and/on the CO2 emissions in Greece over the period of 1970-2014.
Abstract: This paper investigates the dynamic causalities between economic growth, financial development, international trade, tourism expenditure and/on the CO2 emissions in Greece over the period of 1970–2014. For this purpose, the Zivot-Andrews unit root tests and the Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) models were applied. The Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and the robustness of causality test results indicate that Greece’s economic growth, financial development, international trade, tourism expenditures, and CO2 emissions are co-integrated in the long run. The empirical findings show that economic growth, financial development, international trade, and tourism expenditures caused increases in Greece’s CO2 emissions. It should be noted that tourism, as a leading sector in the Greek economy, has serious negative environmental impacts for Greece in the long run. Therefore, the policy makers of Greece should strongly take into consideration this threat from the tourism sector as the whole Greek eco...
