P1.2 a.
Make an overview for your country of available biomass types (quantity
and quality in terms of heating value) and their prospected prices. Make
a graphic representation of your findings.
b.
Compare your findings with the potential of solar and wind energy. What
can you conclude? What could be reasons to use biomass for energy supply
in the context of the situation in your country?
P1.3
Compare the world
s current need for food supply and energy supply on an
energy content basis.
'
P1.4
Based on a literature survey, make a critical comparison between different
energy demand and supply scenarios for the future; take 2050 as the reference
time scale.
P1.5
Review the literature on primary energy consumption expectations, now dis-
tinguishing the world regions.
P1.6
If you have access to analytical equipment in your lab, with, e.g., an infrared
spectrophotometer (online, gas specific) or an FTIR spectrophotometer, you
can determine the CO
2
concentration in the air and monitor the cycle in a year
'
s
time. What is the background of this yearly variation?
