Non-renewable resource

Historically the humanity has been conditioned to use fossil fuels and its derivatives, but the finitude of this natural resources incentive the development of new types of energy, mainly the renewable ones. In addition, the overwhelming of the atmosphere with carbon dioxide makes this new kind of energy a new hope because is commonly seen as the solution to the environmental problems. As a result, the benefits are considered the only point of view in many discussions about the theme, even…

a very practical use of energy sources since nonrenewable resources are limited. Renewable sources can be replenished and have a much smaller chance of running out than nonrenewable sources. Solar energy is one of the least used energy sources that people have access to in the world; it is also one mother Earth is relying on to save the nonrenewable fuels, such as coal. Renewable energy sources, like solar energy, are very useful resources that many do not take advantage of because of the…

treated as having an equal intrinsic value and not living independently of each other within an integrated ecosystem. To illustrate, it implies that the natural system is composing of many individual parts, such as species including both human and non-human, water, air, land, etc. At the same time, not only we do not have ability to dominate the nature in which we are inhabited, but also we have to work in harmony with other members that are also living in the system. Furthermore, it is also…

Renewable energy is naturally replenished and a reliable source to alleviate carbon levels on the world scale. Sustainable energy increases the option for hydro, wind and solar projects that are becoming more dominant in developed and developing countries. Countries have their own role is assisting their self-energy needs, but simultaneously needs to contribute to reduce greenhouse gas and carbon emissions globally. China has one of the largest economies in the world, they burn the most…

This is because Green buildings blend the unique construction features that ensure efficient use of resources such as water and energy. For example, by using task lighting strategy and a lot of daylight, green buildings immensely reduce the amount of power used in lighting systems, this allows users to save their water and energy bills. Given that operating…

The U.S for countless years has worked with engineers and researches to develop multiple sources of renewable energy. Some are considered to be more efficient and inexpensive than others; hydroelectric power being one of them. Hydroelectric power utilizes one of the largest natural resources in the world, water. Although it has a high percentage of efficiency it has its drawbacks. The drawbacks can be environmental, and technical, however, there are a larger number environmental factors that…

Oil and coal have been sustaining our province for decades. These resources have always been a reliable go-to in Alberta’s economy. But how much longer will these last? Oil and coal are in fact, a non-renewable resource. Sooner or later these two resources that have brought Alberta fame and fortune, will diminish. Wind energy is the perfect solution for our next economic boom. Wind is a form of solar energy that is caused by many different attributes of the earth and atmosphere. These…

energy resources (wind, biomass, solar and hydro systems) in forms of distributed energy resources (DERs) or distributed generators (DGs) [1]. However, these distributed generators come with safe and efficient system operation challenges, which requires effective management, these challenges or issues can be addressed by Micro Grid system (MGs). The micro grid system is a combination of distributed energy resources (DERs) that are collections from diesel…

releasing carbon dioxide with alternatives that do not release carbon dioxide (altenergy.org). We call this process alternative energy sources or renewable resources (altenergy.org). According to Alternative Energy Organization, Alternative energy sources have no undesired consequences on the planet, unlike fossil fuels do. Alternative energy sources are renewable and are thought to be “free” energy sources (altenergy.org). According to British Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell, two of the world…

Firstly, let us take a look at fossil fuels and inventions that led to their heavy usage. Fossil fuels are combustible organic deposits, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal or natural gas by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth 's crust over hundreds of millions of years. Due to the development of steam engine in 1712, the popularity of coal as an energy source increased rapidly, and is one of the most used fossil fuel today for the production…
