Sustainable energy and environmental impact: role of renewables as clean and secure source of energy for the 21st century in Jordan

“…New approaches and modern technologies are needed to further exploit the full potential of biomass energy sources (Van de Velden et al, 2008. In the last two decades, conversion of various biomasses into bio-fuel has called numerous researchers' attention to the fact that bio-fuel is renewable, biodegradable, and does not contribute to a rise of CO 2 in the atmosphere (Jaber et al, 2004;Zou et al, 2010).…”

Energy analysis and exergy utilization in the transportation sector of Jordan

“…The enormous increase in the number of operating vehicles has contributed to a significant increase in the local energy demand and an increasing amount of damage to the natural environment as a result of polluting emissions. This is ensuing principally in the Amman-Zarqa region, in the middle of the kingdom, where about 60% of the national population and nearly 70% of the urban populations live (Jaber and Probert, 2001;Jaber et al, 2004). Transportation is the largest single consumer of energy in Jordan, in 2006, with a share of around 37% of the total final energy consumption in the form of diesel, gasoline and jet fuel (MEMR, 2007).…”

Economic viability and geographic distribution of centralized biogas plants: case study Croatia

“…Farming sector, in general, is a large producer of manure (Jaber et al 2004;Svensson et al 2006;Uddin et al 2010) and thereby also a large producer of greenhouse gases (Fan et al 2007;Bauer et al 2010). Methane production from animals on farms should be seen as an opportunity in utilizing green and sustainable energy (Ucekaj et al 2010;Dikshit and Chakraborty 2006) which would contribute to the reduction of green house effect.…”
