There is currently a lack of representative, systematic and harmonised greenhouse gas (GHG) observations covering the variety of natural and human-altered biomes that occur in Africa. This impedes the long-term assessment of the drivers of climate ch

Global population projections foresee the biggest increase to occur in Africa with most of the available uncultivated land to ensure food security remaining on the continent. Simultaneously, greenhouse gas emissions are expected to rise due to ongoin

In the case of the African continent, the estimates of most climate forcing components are associated with large uncertainties, above all the greenhouse gas budget. The EU-funded SEACRIFOG project is designing an observation network which aims at red

Biogas for mobility: Feasibility of generating biogas to fuel City of Johannesburg buses

Autor: Wim Hugo, Ryan Blanchard, William Stafford, Steve Szewczuk, Max Mapako

Publikováno v: 2017 International Conference on the Industrial and Commercial Use of Energy (ICUE).

Biogas is a renewable fuel that can be used for electrical power, heating/cooling, and as a transport fuel. This study assessed the feasibility of using biogas to fuel buses in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. The use of biogas for transportat
