Energy Conservation is the practice of reducing the quantity of energy used. It may be attained through efficient energy use; in this case, energy use is decreased at the same time getting a same outcome as a result, or by reducing consumption of energy services. World leaders are hosting meetings and discussions to cope up with the energy crisis and depleting resources, students at the Indian Institute of Technology here attempt to find a single solution to all these issues relating to energy conservation. Although the Indian govt. is talking about 22-24 nuclear power units, that is the roadmap, because India has no way out of its energy crisis. It has been calculated that if India by 2030 has all the oil produced in the world, it will …show more content…
Energy conservation plays a very important role because utilization of non-renewable resources also impacts our environment. Specially, usage of fossil fuel supplies to air and water pollution such as carbon dioxide is produced when oil, coal and gas combust in power stations, heating systems, and engines of cars.
As we all aware of that carbon dioxide work as a transparent layer in the atmosphere that is part of the cause of the global warming of the earth, or we can also name it as the greenhouse effect. Global warming has its own consequences in our atmosphere. It has its deadly effects like spreading of different diseases, warmer waters and more chances of hurricanes, financial costs, polar ice melting, increased chances and intensity of heat waves. Ozone depletion is the reduction of the protective layer of ozone in the uppermost atmosphere by chemical pollution. Ozone layer is the protection line between earth and the ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun. People who have more exposure to UV radiation can have some health problems like DNA damage, skin cancer, aging and other problems related to
In Robert Bryce’s article “The Dangerous Delusions of Energy Independence” he explains the depths of America’s delusional perception of energy independence and asserts his evident disapproval of the subject. He begins by mentioning past presidents and their verbal concerns of an upcoming energy crisis leading into the similar views held by America’s majority. The fact that energy independence will make America self-sufficient, create new jobs, keep U.S. soldiers out of the Persian Gulf, and result in a thriving economy has become a generally accepted attitude. Bryce claims that this attitude has escalated since the attacks of September 11th due to the numerous news stories proposing that “buying oil from the countries of the Persian Gulf
I. Introduction Long ago, since ancient time humans have been using energy and striving for the betterment of themselves, it all began with the use of tools which led to the discovery of fire, from this great breakthrough, humans evolved exponentially. Eons have passed and humans are still using fire to ease their daily lives from cooking, mobility and electricity, but due to the increase in advancement of technologies, it has also increased damages to the planet, thus the governments had started to move towards a producing or replacing the old harmful substance to a less harmful ones, but since one of the most used and one of the highest cause of ozone depletion is chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), it has been banned from production due to the Montreal Protocol 1991, one of the causes as to why it was banned is one of the chemicals it contain is chlorine, once a certain condition is met it depletes the ozone layer, ergo with earth shield compromised more harmful ultraviolet rays will get into the planet, thus only the reservoir of CFC are being used today, now it’s a race against time to replace this CFC with other materials that is less harmful and either as or more efficient than it. There are not a lot of ways to replace chlorofluorocarbon. Some of the most prominent ones are hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and magneto caloric effect (MCE).
Burning fossil fuels is one of the main culprits that causes climate change because it releases gases into the atmosphere that trap in heat and create the greenhouse effect. According to Klaus S. Lackner, the director of the Center for Negative Carbon Emissions and a professor in School of Sustainable Engineering at Arizona State University,”Dumping carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases into the air raises their concentrations in the atmosphere and causes gradual warming.” This gradual warming is causing many horrific effects
The world is changing now. The climate around the world is rising due to all the greenhouse gasses that have been produced by generating electricity. 35% of the energy we use now is petroleum, 20% natural gasses, and 18% with
“Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.” Michael Burgess Prior to the introduction of nuclear energy, fossil fuel was thought to be the only available source in producing energy. Although fossil fuel, such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas, contains high energy value, it produces too many harmful byproducts that ultimately pollute our environment. With the rising concerns over global warming as more and more greenhouse gases accumulate in our Earth’s atmosphere, many voice such opinions that new alternative, yet sustainable method must be adopted to produce energy.
This graph shown below shows the oils production in 2015-2019 the production oil is reduced and by 2035-2050 the oil produced barrel per year is reduced from 60 billion barrels years to 10 billion barrels be year in
By releasing this gas into the air the natural greenhouse gases increase and cause many effects to happen. Carbon dioxide is also caused by removing natural resources from the land for agriculture. When the Earth starts to warm many other things do to, the ocean will become more acidic and glaciers might partially melt. If the oceans become acidic, fish and other sea creatures will have an unlivable environment. If glaciers start to melt arctic animals that rely on the ice may start to become extinct.

Introduction In today’s world, most developing countries are in a race to build up the necessary infrastructure to scale up there operations and become the next global superpower. In this process, a lot of energy is consumed – be it for transportation, manufacturing or construction. This rapid growth of energy use seen over the past two decades have raised concerns for governments and energy-related organizations alike. Questions with regard to the supply, sustainability and exhaustion of energy sources abound, and while most developed countries have taken active steps to reduce consumption of scarce resources, the position of developing countries in this regard is still lacking.
1. Introduction: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the important green house gases (GHGs) emitted in the atmosphere through various human and natural activities. The human activities include rapid industrialization and urbanization, deforestation, excessive use of fertilizers in agriculture, excessive use of fuels, papers and many other manmade resources whereas natural activities include volcano eruption, forest fires, earthquakes etc. Emission of GHGs in the atmosphere leads to global warming which is one of the primary reasons behind the atmospheric changes that affect the human life directly or indirectly. The consequences of global warming are extremely harsh seasons, untimely rains, extended summers and floods that results in human deaths, destruction of flora and fauna in addition to the huge economical losses.
Anything that has motion involved is kinetic energy. The motion can be able to produce kinetic energy. An object that is moving can be able to do work with anything it hits. The conclusion of its motion is the amount of work being done. Kinetic energy can be passed from one object to another by clashing towards each other.
Over half of Earth’s 7.6 billion people live within two miles of a freshwater source. The human race has always settle and developed in to great cities and small villages,almost all which, are next to water. Humans use water to hydrate, to irrigate crops, and lately, to harness clean energy. Harnessing water power is not new, in the first industrial revolution mills were built along a river for grinding power, later on dams were built to create large scale production of renewable electricity. But what if the technology used in dams were to be used sewage systems, water mains, and water pipes?
They can cause sunburn and many different type of skin diseases. Too long exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging, damage your eyes and immune system. "UVA waves from the sun penetrate beneath the epidermis into the dermis. There they destroy collagen and elastin tissue resulting
Therefore forcing manufacturers to create more things in factories using different chemical that usually result as deadly compounds in gaseous state in the atmosphere. Also, greenhouse gasses emitted by different countries are contributing a lot to climate change, for example, The United States alone produces 24,800 kg of greenhouse gasses, and Bangladesh produces 400 kg annually, yet, it’s suffers mainly because of its lack of initiatives taken. So, the in return the ozone layer is affected by the gasses. Sunlight, when it hits the surface, is either absorbed by the land and atmosphere or is reflected back into space. If, in case it’s absorbed, then some of the energy, in the form of heat is released back into the atmosphere.
For instance, in Vietnam fossil fuels is the main fuels to address basic demand and for export, but in 2030 Vietnam
