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…

carbon-based resources since the combustion of fossil fuel is considered a major factor responsible for the climate change. More importantly, it is not impossible to transform the world energy pattern from using fossil fuels to renewable resources from wind, solar and biomass if it is not intended to collide with the economic development. In other words, sometimes exploiting and consuming fossil fuels will provide more short-term economic profits than that with the renewable resources. However,…

alternative energy. Pros of renewable energy is, it is available all over the world because there is sun and wind. There is no chance of renewable energy becoming depleted in the future. Renewable energy can boost economic growth and increase job opportunities ("Renewable Green Energy"). There are many pros of renewable energy but there are always cons too. There are also cons of renewable energy such as technology required to gather renewable energy is costly. Some renewable energy sources are…

OVERVIEW Coal, gas, and natural gas are the fossil fuels which are currently the world’s primary-energy source. Fossil fuels are made millions of years ago from organic materials such as plants and animals. Fossil fuels are finite resources and can cause irreparable damage to the environment. Fossil fuels are considered to be responsible for global warming. There are many activist and campaigns launched calling for divestment from fossil fuels, especially from large companies and…

Renewable Energy Sources At the beginning of the 21st century, mankind started using new technologies in order to harvest energy from environmental sources other than fossil fuels and natural gases. These environmental energy sources include solar, wind, water, biomass, and geothermal. These sources are more commonly known as renewable energy sources. Renewable energy is a theoretically inexhaustible energy source. It is an energy source that is not depleted when used. A good way to look at a…

GoGreen research on Apple Apple is a world famous technology company 1. What product the company produces and how Apple producing mobile phones and computers, the pollution happened as the electronic producer. Korean company LG made LCD Panels, Samsung made Batteries, and SK Hynix made Chipset. Taiwan company TSMC made DRAM & Flash Memory of the iPhone. A French-Italian company STMicroelecronics produced the Gyroscope in iPhone. 85% of all are assembled in China Foxconn. 2. What externalities…

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…

has increased the use of alternative 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…

The current generation uses electricity more than any previous generation. With the use of cell phones, cars, laptops, etc. energy is something that is used all twenty four hours of the day, this makes it easier for energy to be wasted. “The U.S. has an energy efficiency of 42 percent, which means 58 percent of all the energy we produce is wasted!” ( Battaglia, Sarah) There have been very creative ideas of evolving the currently used energy that is at this point depleting, but they have not been…

statistic made by IEA, Hydro/renewables/other energy sources are always the main energy during 1973 to 2012 ( about 50000 Ktoe per year) in Sweden. While natural gas always keeps the highest consumption in Minnesota ( about 480 Trillion Btu a year). The second largest energy consumption in Sweden is nuclear (around 35000 Ktoe per year) and the third energy is natural ( about…
