These emissions come from the burning of fossil fuels, such as gasoline from cars, or deforestation. This process traps unwanted heat that would otherwise leave the earth, causing a rise in temperature. Global Warming can affect the temperature and weather of the earth and cause many devastating consequences all around the world. The most common greenhouse…

    China for one can certainly not be allowed to monopolise the mining and processing of fossil fuels in the region otherwise there will absolutely be conflict between lesser nations for control of what is remaining. Additionally global mining companies must not be allowed to purchase and retain ownership of renewable energy technology in order to stage its replacement of fossil fuels in order to manipulate the price of remaining supplies. This should be government owned and publicly…

    Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is one power technology of those attractive new energy storage technologies. It aggregated those vehicles with battery (Hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and plug- in hybrid electric vehicles) into the grid as a distributed resource of energy load, storage and generation device. It is not only adding the ability to deliver power from vehicle to the grid, but also can apply the power flow (Lund & Kempton, 2008). V2G technology provides potential solutions…

    with a cost because its burning and continued popularity is a major factor contributing to global warming (IPPC). It also has a negative impact on the economy. In its composition, only 565 gigatons out of 2765 of carbon dioxide contained in the fossils is burnt before its negative effects on the globe turn irreversible (McKibben, 2012). In 2011, the rate of emission of carbon dioxide was 36.1 gigatons, and there was a prediction that the figure keeps rising by day (McKibben, 2012). As a result,…

    alternative resources that we use today include nuclear energy, hydro energy, wind energy and hydroelectric energy. Alternative resources is termed to configure the differences between fossil fuels and how they contribute to society. These forms of energy are not traditional forms from which you get out of fossil fuels, but they prove to be cleaner and much safer for our environment. Renewable energy sources create energy in many different forms and ways. For example, the way that…

    occurring, human activity greatly increases this and disturbs the atmosphere. Ways in which human activity contributes to high co2 emissions includes the burning of fossil fuels. In order to have things like electricity we need to burn fossil fuels, although renewable sources of energy have risen and may soon help reduce the amount of fossil fuels that are burned. We are aware that renewable energy is important and we are currently working on ways to maximize the amount of energy we can…

    I. Introduction One of the most important issues within the field of environmental protection is the issue of discovering a way of properly regulating carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants. Carbon dioxide is primarily produced as a byproduct of combustion of fossil fuels in power plants in order to provide heat to turn water into steam, that can drive the turbines that create electricity. According to the Environmental Protection Agency in 2012, humans produced 5,400…

    “The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that about 11% of world marketed energy consumption is from renewable energy sources” (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2014). Renewable energy is often referred to as green because it is a strong for the environment, or so we think. Media covers a wide variety of global warming and greenhouse gas stories, but nobody seems to have a solution to the problems. This could be in large, because being green is such a vague topic. To…
