Briefing papers. Enabling a transition to low carbon economies in developing countries: Case Study: Bangladesh DR GREGORY OFFER, Department Earth Science and Engineering, Imperial College London DR NAFEES MEAH, Department Energy & Climate Change ALEXIA COKE, RESOLVE, Centre for Environmental Strategy, University of Surrey Abstract There is little doubt that energy demand is expected to grow rapidly in most developing countries over the next decades. For Bangladesh, economic growth has been accelerating and it is expected that the population will grow from an estimated 150 million people in 2008 to 200 million by 2050, with almost half of the population living in urban areas.
An examination of options for meeting the expected energy demand for 2050 on the assumption that economic growth will continue is necessary in order to plan infrastructure investments that will still be functioning in 2050. A simple scenario was constructed to predict the energy use in 2050. Lawrence Jones, ALSTOM Grid, Washington DC, USA. About the Solar Farm | Sheffield Solar Farm. The Sheffield Solar Farm forms part of Project Sunshine, which aims to harness the power of the sun to tackle the increasing food and energy needs of the world’s population in light of uncertain climate and global environment change.
Funded by the Higher Education Innovation Fund, to promote knowledge transfer and new links between industry, society and academia, the Farm will allow real world testing of photovoltaics . The 58m2 silicon photovoltaic solar panel installation includes a test bed to compare new and existing photovoltaic technologies, linking laboratory testing to field application. The data collected will be distributed to researchers, installers, policy makers and the public. Power generation data from the Farm will be continually accessible on line, along with the sun’s irradiance (both direct and diffuse), temperature and wind. The main solar panel installation and test bed. The Technologies The Farm will offer a comprehensive range of photovoltaic technology.
