    Of these, the major one is carbon dioxide which accounts for six times more global warming than the other GHGs combined. Carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. We also increase the amount of carbon dioxide through deforestation. Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. When a forest is cut, not only will carbon dioxide be released if we…

    since the dawn of the industrial revolution, man has struggled to search for a sustainable resource to quench the insatiable energy needs of the society and this has led to a heavy reliance on fossil fuels whose resources are non-renewable – they cannot be replenished. The realization that some of these fossil fuel resources may not last long enough and are well on their way to depletion or may eventually be too expensive to retrieve has led to even more panic as people face the energy dilemma –…

    Coal, oil, and natural gas are proven technologies, are much cheaper than any other energy source, and provide massive amounts of electricity. Due to the aforementioned consequences of relying on fossil fuels, however, it is time to find a new energy source. Nuclear energy is often seen as dangerous, with its opponents warning of possible apocalyptic explosions and Chernobyl-esque radiation poisoning. This interpretation, however, is terribly flawed…

    Cliff Montage suggests Allan Savory’s idea that adjusting the ecosystem’s biodiversity might prove to be more prosperous for the climate without cutting down on the energy demand of the world population. Confinement of livestock has been the primary contributor to the process of desertification. When herds of large animals are forced to be confined within a space, as opposed to being truly free range, it has an adverse effect on the biodiversity. This leaves an imbalance within the ecosystem.…

    The burning of fossil fuels for energy is still the world’s primary source of CO2 emissions. As a result, solar technology has become a primary candidate in the era of finding new ways to create emission free energy. Solar power harnesses the energy of the sun’s rays to generate electricity that is considered environmentally friendly, or “green,” due to the almost nonexistent emission of CO2 throughout the process. The electricity produced by solar farms can then be added to the grid and…

    processes cause the global warming that continues to affect our environment. Greenhouse gases are the main cause of global warming. Human beings have raised carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with their activities, such as deforestation, and burning fossil fuels. The other major causes of global warming is population growth, pollution, and industrialization. These changes are resulting rise in sea level, melting glaciers, damage of the ozone layer, unseasonable rains, and also increasing many…

    been utilizing fossil fuels to create the required energy to power our homes, cars, and businesses. Regrettably, our reserves of fossil fuels are running low, and they have been viewed to increase the temperature in the atmosphere and accelerate global warming. As more people in the world utilize our energy reserves, people need a newer, cleaner source of energy. The substitutions are plentiful and would be beneficial to the wellbeing of the whole world. Humanity must replace its fossil fuel use…

    2.1. Na-ion Batteries (NIBs) Na-based batteries are not new. Back to the 1970s, Na-ion and Li-ion batteries were investigated in parallel.5,6 The investigation of Na-ion batteries significantly decreased after the success of commercial application of Li-ion batteries in the 1990s. Na-ion batteries have a very similar working principle as the Li-ion batteries. As shown in Figure 2.1, each electrochemical cell is basically composed of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a membrane…
