“…Such figures support the thought that an increase in energy use leads to an increase in GDP. As such, many sources in literature point out that the advancement of society in the twentieth century was aligned with a rise in energy consumption [23] and that further advancement of these societies requires more energy [24]. Thus, decreases in J Environ Sci Public Health 2018; 2 [2]: 96-135 energy consumption will endanger the attainment of sustainable development [25].…”

Energy intensity can be dropped without harming the economy through energy reduction. Actually, the economy could grow while reducing energy use, if the economy's base is transformed into knowledge-based industries (those with so-called increasing returns). Such a transition in itself provides opportunities for learning, skill and knowledge creation, network building, etc., and involves education and research institutes, small, medium and large business, industries and trade networks and proactive Government departments. Subsequently, businesses erected due to and during the transition towards an energy-efficient economy could export their products and services, thereby contributing further to the nation's economy. This has been explored for Suriname using a top-down approach (ACEEE 2015 International Self-Scoring Tool) and bottom-up approaches to quantify reduction opportunities in each sector. Results show that reduced energy usage directly and indirectly amounts to US$ 194,188,398.10, with an investment of US$ 29.55 million. Furthermore, 274 jobs can be created by transitioning to an energy-efficient economy with an export market size of US$ 34 billion (based on gap analyses). However, this requires a dramatic shift in strategic direction, policy frameworks for energy and other fields. However, the investment can add to GDP and can transform the economy into one with increasing returns.

“…Energy is an important factor to maintain the development of society, and it is the most important factor to restrict the development of productive forces, while ensuring steady and healthy growth of the economy [12,[27][28][29]. At present, the energy demand of Shandong province is increasing annually, the demand gap is large, and the main source of supply depends on a single supply.…”

To scientifically predict the future energy demand of Shandong province, this study chose the past energy demand of Shandong province during 1995-2015 as the research object. Based on building model data sequences, the GM-ARIMA model, the GM (1,1) model, and the ARIMA model were used to predict the energy demand of Shandong province for the 2005-2015 data, the results of which were then compared to the actual result. By analyzing the relative average error, we found that the GM-ARIMA model had a higher accuracy for predicting the future energy demand data. The operation steps of the GM-ARIMA model were as follows: first, preprocessing the date and determining the dimensions of the GM (1,1) model. This was followed by the establishment of the metabolism GM (1,1) model and by calculation of the forecast data. Then, the ARIMA residual error was used to amend and test the model. Finally, the obtained prediction results and errors were analyzed. The prediction results show that the energy demand of Shandong province in 2016-2020 will grow at an average annual rate of 3.9%, and in 2020, the Shandong province energy demand will have increased to about 20% of that in 2015.

“…Power generated by nuclear plants is clean and economical, but the long-term disposal of nuclear waste and unforeseeable accidents (e.g. Three Mile Island in 1979, Chernobyl in 1986, and Fukushima in 2011) are major obstacles to wider application [2].…”

Electrochemical tests were conducted to assess the corrosion performance of a developmental multiphase cermet nuclear waste form in different conditions. Corrosion currents were monitored as the surface equilibrated in an acidic brine solution during potentiostatic tests at different imposed potentials. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to quantify differences in the electrical properties of surfaces stabilised at different potentials. The passivating oxides that will stabilise the surface under disposal conditions are formed and maintained during testing. The measured corrosion currents were two orders of magnitude lower for passivated surfaces than for polished surfaces over a wide range of redox conditions. The electrochemical results were correlated with microscopic analyses of the corroded surfaces and physical models of the surface passivation and degradation processes are proposed. The measured corrosion rates are suitable for the long-term performance modeling of cermet nuclear waste forms.
