Ramping up Heat Pumps in Moldova: A Roadmap Heat pumps in Moldova
…chapter then discusses the status of heat pumps in Moldova and their potential, addressing the applications for which they are most suited in the Moldovan context. Heat pump applications Heat pumps have been widely recognised as a key technology for decarbonising heating in buildings, industry and district heating systems. Global and European scenarios, from the International Energy Agency to the European Commission, acknowledge their key role in transitioning from fossil fuel-based heating systems. The IEA identifies heat pumps as the “central technology” for decarbonising heating in buildings.To understand their benefits, a brief overview of their operation is required…

Outlook for Biogas and Biomethane Assessing the sustainable potential and cost of feedstocks for biogas and biomethane
…primarily methane (CH₄) and CO₂. Methane yield, by contrast, accounts only for the methane portion, which is the component usable as fuel. For this report, we considered the methane yield per tonne of dry matter for a range of different feedstocks. Emerging market and developing economies account for 80% of the global potential for biogases, which is concentrated in countries where the agricultural sector plays a prominent role in the economy. India, Brazil, and China lead the way with high biogases potential from cereal crop residues, sugar crop residues, and manure respectively, derived from existing large-scale agricultural industries. …

Universal Access to Clean Cooking in Africa Clean cooking infrastructure
The right ingredients Extending access depends on new infrastructure, with differing requirements across technologies and regions. This chapter maps for the first time ever Africa’s existing clean cooking infrastructure, highlighting gaps and key considerations for expansion.Widening liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) distribution in sub-Saharan Africa requires the buildout of infrastructure. This includes additional primary storage – which is concentrated in oil producing states today – and improved port infrastructure, as 50% of LPG demand in the region is imported. On the distribution side, additional bottling facilities and specialised vehicles for safe transportation are required. With nearly 20 plants operating, cylinder manufacturing…

Outlook for Biogas and Biomethane Introduction to biogas and biomethane
…membrane separation or pressure swing adsorption. Biomethane can also be produced through gasification of solid biomass followed by methanation, although this is far less common. Consumption of biogases is increasing. However, biogases are still a relatively small part of the global energy mix – representing around 3% of total modern bioenergy production. Biomethane use has increased at a rate of 20% annually over the past 5 years, although from a low base (it is currently around 1% of natural gas demand). Most markets rely on public incentives to provide support and certainty to biogas and biomethane producers. These include: production targets…
