Assessment of Natural Gas Loss from the Well-to-Tank Supply Chain of Natural Gas Based Transportation Fuels
Methane (CH4) is the primary component of natural gas and the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, following carbon dioxide (CO2), and is thus the focus of global efforts to reduce the warming of the atmosphere. The global warming potential of methane is over 25 times that of CO2. Methane also contributes to […]

Energy Forum 39: Microgrid and Smart Grid in an age of distributed production and renewable energies
Smart Grid is under development in many parts of the world, designed to replace the conventional power supply network. It is one of the leading issues in a modern energy economy and enjoys national priorities and massive investments. In Israel too, the issue is a high priority on the national energy agenda, even though the […]
Assessment of greenhouse gas emissions intensity from electricity generation in Israel
The Israeli energy market undergoes tremendous changes in recent years. While the vast majority of electricity was generated at Israel Electric Corporation’s (IEC) sites, in recent years independent power producers (IPP) are increasingly gaining market share. The fuel mix used for electricity generation in Israel in recent years has also radically shifted, with the natural […]
