WNA | Annual Symposium 2004 | Electric Power Required in the World by 2050 for Electric Power and Hydrogen Fuel (3387 words) |
 | The future sustainability of energy supply with introduction of a new large industry to produce a new transportation fuel is dependent on both the growth of world population and the affluence growth in vehicle ownership. |
 | This problem was examined by Kruger (2001) in estimating the energy requirement for rapid growth of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry over the next 50 years to replace production of fossil fuel internal combustion engine vehicles by the major automobile manufacturers of the world. |
 | These facilities would be located in large area industrial parks in remote high solar insolence areas with a central cluster of nuclear power plants surrounded by a field of photovoltaic cells, possibly with a bank of wind power mills on the high side, and the generator and electrolysis (or thermochemical) equipment near the delivery side. |
| ALN No. 54: Govender: Fire management in Kruger Natl. Park (3422 words) |
 | The Kruger National Park is one of the largest proclaimed and therefore officially protected natural areas in the world. |
 | This period within the park's history, with very low numbers of staff in the early years and large tracts of land with no firebreaks, is often described as an era of uncontrolled and sporadic burning by local inhabitants and lightning. |
 | During the early part of the period after establishment of the Kruger National Park in 1926 there was no official policy for burning range (also referred to as "veld" in South Africa). |
