Moving Toward Net-Zero Carbon Society
Abstract: Climate change has caused severe flooding and droughts, crop yield prob-lems, and habitat changes, which pose a serious threat to the ecosystem and humanity. As a result, stakeholders are reconsidering environmental management policies and economic development limitations. This chapter introduces the overview of the book that explores achieving net-zero emissions through carbon pricing, carbon trade schemes, renewable energy transition, ecological conservation, and carbon sinks. It also examines the economic and social impacts of introducing carbon-neutral poli-cies in the Asia-Pacific region. The urgency of addressing climate change and finding solutions to mitigate its effects on the environment and society is emphasized.

Medium Voltage Application Guide
Introduction
This reference guide is designed to help engineers in the field of medium voltage select and specify the right MV
equipment for their application. This guide provides an overview of all the main components in a motor control system, in a format that is readily understood by people with limited or no experience with motor control in general and soft starters in particular. We hope this document will help:
consulting engineers wanting to specify motor control equipment
technical departments using motor control equipment
maintenance engineers at locations with soft starters installed
We would welcome your feedback so we can continue to improve this guide. The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. The information contained in this manual is subject to change at any time and without prior notice. In no event will responsibility or liability be accepted for direct, indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.

Electrical System Commissioning Manual
Introduction
The purpose of electrical testing on systems and their components is two-fold. The first is to check the installation of the equipment and perform component and systems tests to ensure that, when energized, the system will function properly. The second is to develop a set of baseline test results for comparison in future testing to identify equipment deterioration. The system should be initially checked for damage, deterioration, and component failures using specific component checks, inspections, and tests defined by the equipment manufacturer. Then the interconnection of the system components should be checked, using de-energized and energized methods, to verify the proper interconnection and operation of the components, including on/off control, system process interlocks, and protective relaying functions. Once the above tests are complete, the system can be energized and operational tests and measurements should be performed.

System Protection
Purpose
•Then we examine how a protection system operates. The primary purpose of the protection system is to detect faults and, as rapidly as possible, "clear" faults.
•Faults are physical conditions that cause a device, component, or element to fail to perform in the required manner; for example, a short circuit or a broken wire.

bp Energy Outlook 2024 Edition
Global developments and events in recent years have highlighted the considerable challenges facing the global energy system and those of us who work within it. Despite marked increases in government climate ambitions and actions, and rapid growth in investment in low carbon energy, carbon emissions continue to rise. Indeed, other than the
Covid-induced fall of 2020, carbon emissions have risen every year since the Paris climate goals were agreed in 2015. The carbon budget is running out.

Green hydrogen: A Critical Balancing Act
In the global discourse on climate change, hydrogen emerges as a highly contested energy carrier, igniting heated debates and capturing headlines worldwide. While some fervently tout it as a “miracle fuel,” others raise caution flags,
branding it as a costly double-edged sword intertwined with the fossil-fuel industry.
