Sind Kapitalismus und Nachhaltigkeit miteinander vereinbar? Falls ja: Mit welchen Folgen und Nebenfolgen gelingt es kapitalistischen Ökonomien, eine Antwort auf die multiplen ökologischen Krisen zu finden? Ist es ausgeschlossen, dass die "schöpferische Zerstörung" (Schumpeter) als Modus kapitalistischer Dynamik nicht auch den fossilen Kapitalismus "schöpferisch" zerstört und neue "Kombinationen von Dingen und Kräften" ersinnt, die den Kapitalismus tatsächlich ergrünen lassen? Oder gibt es materiale Schranken dafür, die in den stofflichen Eigenschaften von Öko-Systemen liegen? Scheitert der Kapitalismus letztlich an der ökologischen Frage?.

In the last few decades, electric drives have found their place in a considerable number of diverse applications. They are successfully replacing some other traditional types of drives owing to their better performance and excellent controllability. The introduction of electric drives is in most cases also beneficial from the ecological point of view as they are not directly dependent on fossil fuels and an increasing part of electric energy they consume is generated in renewable energy sources. This book focuses on applications of electric drives that emerged only recently and/or novel aspects that appear in them. Particular attention is given to using electric drives in vehicles, aircraft, non-road mobile machinery, and HVAC systems.

This open access book presents the evaluation of undiscovered oil and gas resources and reserves growth in 468 basins around the world, as well as the potential of unconventional recoverable resources of seven types, including shale oil, heavy oil, oil sands, oil shale, shale gas, coalbed methane, and tight gas. The evaluation methods used are innovative, incorporating both conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources evaluation methods that utilize plays as the fundamental evaluation unit based on various exploration maturity levels. The evaluation results obtained independent intellectual property rights and provide an overview of the future exploration potential and prospects of different regions. It is a valuable reference for researchers, practitioners, and students involved in petroleum exploration.

This open access book evaluates, from an economic perspective, various measures introduced in Japan to prevent climate change. Although various countries have implemented such policies in response to the pressing issue of climate change, the effectiveness of those programs has not been sufficiently compared. In particular, policy evaluations in the Asian region are far behind those in North America and Europe due to data limitations and political reasons. The first part of the book summarizes measures in different sectors in Japan to prevent climate change, such as emissions trading and carbon tax, and assesses their impact. The second part shows how those policies have changed the behavior of firms and households. In addition, it presents macro-economic simulations that consider the potential of renewable energy. Lastly, based on these comprehensive assessments, it compares the effectiveness of measures to prevent climate change in Japan and Western countries. Providing valuable insights, this book will appeal to both academic researchers and policymakers seeking cost-effective measures against climate change. .
