Index

Welcome to the Green Box' library which comprises two sections.

The Technical Review section includes reviews of specific technologies which are relevant to our project, the current status of these technologies, references and links.

The Assessment section includes methods we have developed for assessing the energy, economic, and environmental performance of the systems proposed in our project.

Technical Reviews

Concepts and systems

The requirements for sustainable energy
Combined heat and power systems


Biofuels

Biofuels potential and environmental aspects
Biodigester applications: Pig farms


Fuel Cells

The concept of Gibbs energy
Fuel cell reformers
Fuel cell construction and performance characterisation
Fuel cell control systems and ancillaries

Fuel cell commercial availability
Fuel cell economics


Environment

Environmental aspects and impact assessment


Assessment Methods

The assessment methods comprise a suite of stand-alone guidance notes and spreadsheets, and the "Overall System Assessment" proposal for incorporating the constituent spreadsheets for assessment of complete local energy systems.
