Thermal Energy Storage - IRENA

Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating and cooling applications and power generation.

Measuring Small-scale Biogas Capacity and Production

In some countries, biogas contributes significantly to the national energy balance. It may be used both as a fuel and to generate electricity. To produce these statistics, biogas data collection should focus on plant capacity and production of biogas and electricity.

global carbon cycle. Also, ifnot used for electricity generation, the biomass would have decayed, thus emitting an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. In contrast, coal and other fossil fuels contain carbon that has been"locked-up"for millions ofyears. Therefore, when fossil fuels are used to generate electric power,
