Abstract:

“Energy poverty constitutes one of the main issues of our times. The way in which people have access to energy can strongly affect their living standards and the world’s economy. This work is aimed at quantifying those impacts by analyzing the distribution of energy across a population from an economic point of view. The territory considered in the analysis is Mexico, a fast-growing economy characterized by strong inequalities. This thesis firstly introduces the theme of energy poverty and its definition, followed by a discussion of how energy poverty can be measured. Secondly, selected energy

Energy poverty is a topic often neglected in the discussion about global climate change. Apocalyptic prophecies about the negative future effects of climate change ignore the suffering of people around the globe whose lives could be drastically improved with access to reliable sources of energy. Though energy poverty from a global perspective is much more serious than energy poverty from a domestic perspective, high home energy bills are a serious cause for concern for many Americans.

Abstract:

This research explored the gender dimension of energy poverty in rural Bangladesh. Women’s energy poverty in their everyday lives was investigated and its effects compared with men’s experience. The research also scrutinised whether energy poverty was derived from or reinforced by energy injustice, and explored whether energy poverty has any relationship with the economic situation of women. A qualitative research approach was used, consisting of in depth interviews and observation methods. The research revealed that women’s ‘energy profile’ is not the same as men living in the same household

Energy is the driver of activity in every economy and, therefore, its importance cannot be overemphasised. However, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces general problems of access to modern energy. Most households and industry in SSA use traditional and unclean energy resources for activities such as cooking, lighting and drying of farm produce. Many households in less developed countries have very limited choices with regard to alternatives to traditional energy supplies.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Low-income households in the Western Cape primarily use small electrical kettles to heat water for bathing and cleaning. This energy usage pattern is problematic in that; • It is based on unsustainable energy sources that cause environmental degradation, • Electricity is becoming more expensive in South Africa which strains the limited income of poorer households and • The national utility, Eskom, is struggling to meet the demand for electricity. If energy-intensive development paths are followed these problems will esca

Abstract:

Can rural renewable energy projects simultaneously meet the multiple goals of sustainable development, climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation? If so, under what conditions? Rural communities throughout Latin America have increasingly suffered the impacts of climate change and few policies exist to help them adapt to these impacts. The basic infrastructure and services that they frequently lack can be provided by low carbon technologies, potentially funded by international carbon finance flows that could enable the Millennium Development Goals of economic growth and poverty all

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to quantify the social cost of air pollution in Bophelong Township. Bophelong is a dominantly Black low-income settlement located on the South-western part of the Emfuleni Local Municipality in the Vaal Triangle. In 2006 the Vaal Triangle was the first region in the country to be declared an Airshed Priority Area in terms of the National Environmental Management Act (39/2004). Economic literature reveals that there is a strong positive correlation between poverty and pollution. It is on this basis that the study provides a theoretical background to poverty and polluti

Abstract:

Includes abstract.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 58-63).<br>Solar energy is abundantly available in South Africa, but it is a highly under-utilised resource. One way of efficiently using the resource is solar water heating (swh), a natural process whereby hot water for domestic and/or industrial use is heated by the sun. In 2009, a national swh strategy was drafted by the Department of Energy, which specifies a target to install 1 million heaters in households by 2015. Provincial and local governments have also developed their own swh strategies and the roll out of swhs has st

Comment assurer un approvisionnement énergétique fiable et garantir un accès universel et abordable tout en luttant contre le changement climatique ? L'utilisation exclusive de sources renouvelables est-elle la solution ou est-il préférable de maintenir une matrice énergétique diversifiée ? Cette thèse utilise la diversité comme un indicateur clé dans l'analyse du trilemme énergétique en utilisant un nouveau modèle économétrique. La recherche révèle l'importance d'utiliser une approche inclusive, ainsi que la pertinence du nouveau modèle développé en observant, pour le pays sélectionné et la p

Aquesta tesi té per objectiu ampliar el coneixement sobre la pobresa energètica i la seva relació amb la salut a la Unió Europea i a Barcelona, tenint en compte les desigualtats socials. Per tal d’assolir aquest objectiu s’han dut a terme quatre estudis. El primer estudi analitza l’evolució temporal de la pobresa energètica, la seva associació amb la salut i l’impacte en salut que comporta, als països de la Unió Europea abans i durant la crisi econòmica del 2008. Es mostra un increment generalitzat de la pobresa energètica i del seu impacte en salut arran de la crisi econòmica. Aquesta evolu

Le phénomène de la Précarité Energétique (PE) ne cesse de gagner du terrain, il concerne 20,4% de la population françaises en 2016 contre 18,4% en 2013 (ONPE ; 2016). Ce constat oblige une attention particulière à la question de la performance énergétique des bâtiments.Malheureusement, cette performance est limitée aujourd’hui à la seule question de l’efficacité énergétique, or, il faudra prendre en compte la sobriété énergétique et le comportement des acteurs pour atteindre une vraie performance. Pour ce faire, nous avons mobilisé le parc de la copropriété qui est un parc avec une gouvernance
