The energy predicament that the world faces, composed of rising energy and overall resources consumption alongside with associated rise in negative environmental, economical and social impacts, is described with recent data. A brief discussion of the status, sustainability (economic, environmental and social impact), and challenges and prospects of fossil, nuclear (including nuclear water desalination)...
In recent years, renewable energy resources have attracted a lot of effort and attention, due to issues related to utilization of traditional fossil fuels. Global warming, major energy crises, and unsecure energy supply has motivated developed countries to speed-up the process of installing renewable technologies. On the other hand, deregulation of power systems, with the aim of more competitive and...
Biomass power plants are among the renewable energy sources to which China is committed. These projects will reduce the greenhouse effect from biomass caused by natural decay and uncontrolled burning, and also will reduce greenhouse effect related to the burning of fossil fuel for power production. A case study of straw power generation project in Xiajin country, Shandong province of China is discussed...
Biobased production of fuels from renewable resources has gained high research and development priority due to issues of national security regarding US fossil fuel consumption and concerns about the environmental impacts of burgeoning greenhouse gases. Currently, most ethanol production in the US uses corn as the feedstock. However, corn production significantly contributes to water quality degradation,...
The Pneumatic Energy (Compressed air) shall be generated through a Novel device, by conversion of Renewable energies in the area - Hydro, Tidal, Waves, Wind, Solar & Salt gradient, utilizing atmospheric air as working fluid. The Pneumatic energy shall be then put into air turbines to produce mechanical energy which shall be converted into electrical energy by conventional method using generators...
To combat global warming and the other problems associated with fossil fuels, there is a global drive to adopt renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, wave, tidal and biomass. But it is not all plain sailing for these renewable technologies, because, as with conventional energy production, there are environmental issues to be considered.The drive is on to hit ambitious renewable energy targets,...
