    other renewables

    Biomass, geothermal energy, marine energies, wind and solar energies (thermal, thermodynamic and above all photovoltaic) are leaping in the global energy balance because they are deemed to be the most in line with environmental protection. Where is their technological evolution? How competitive are they? By what means, technical and organizational, can we overcome the intermittent nature of some of them?

    Biomass and energy: from primary resources to final energy products
    18 June 2020
    The ecological transition that is now being imposed on all societies, especially industrialized ones, requires an increasing use of renewable energy sources. Among them, alongside new techniques for producing electricity, biomass – historically used since the beginning of humanity – occupies a major place. But what is biomass? Originating mainly

    Dong is not a Chinese company. It is the acronym for Danish Oil and Gas Company, created in 1972 for managing oil and gas resources from the North Sea Danish sector, and for producing and distributing electricity as a utility owned by the Danish Government. Incidentally, they developed and constructed

    1. The devastating effects of household air pollution Indeed: “In developing countries, especially in rural areas, 2.5 billion people rely on biomass, such as firewood, charcoal, agricultural waste and animal dung, to meet their energy needs for cooking. In many countries, these resources account for over 90% of household energy

    To understand the place photovoltaic solar energy has made for itself in electricity mixes, it is essential to know the resource and principles of converting solar radiation into heat or electricity. (Read: Énergie solaire : les bases théoriques pour la comprendre), but it is also necessary to discover its origin and
