Essays on Alternative Energy

Alternative energy, the gateway to the future and the wiping away of the reliance on limited resources of fuel. Oil, is a limited resource and it is something world needs constantly. Transportation, heat, and power, are all fueled by this substance. With everyone drawing from...

Green energy comes from natural sources such as sunlight, wind, water and, biogas. These energy resources are renewable, meaning they’re naturally replenished. They are the safe way to produce energy that will not harm the world and the atmosphere. One of the technology trends making...

Solar Power means the conversion of the energy of sunlight into electricity. It can be done in two ways which are one using photovoltaic’s and two is using concentrated solar power which uses lenses or mirrors and tracking system to focus a large area of...

Solar energy is the energy that is in sunlight. In it substitution, to save natural resources and without a long scientific innovations it has been found that Solar energy can be used to generate electricity using the solar panel and solar battery. It gets involved...

Green energy is a natural sources of energy such as sunlight, wind, water, biogas and more. These sources of energy resources are renewable, meaning they are naturally replenished. They are a safe way to produce energy that will not harm the world and the atmosphere....

Historical Background Over the last few decades, concerns have been raised on whether renewable energy is green and beneficial, especially during this period when there are heightened efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Several bills have been sponsored to address the problem of sustainable energy...

Ocean waves are usually induced by winds blowing over the surface. The flow of wind power is metastasized to the waves and more powerful circulation of the wind provides more energy in to the waves. So, wave power is defined such as a power which...

Alternative Energy Sources Because land and space are resources as finite as those resources which they contain, there is no doubt that an expansion in one industry would hinder the ability of another to operate. In the article by James Lovgren, the oil and natural...

Since ancient times, the world has used fossil fuels including oils, gases, and coal to power most of our energy anywhere from cooking a meal to flying planes across the world. In recent years, global issues have accrued from these fuels not being renewable sources...

Over the years people have had a misconception about climate change, but what is really climate change? Practically, is a change in the weather, this is the case due to the amount of rain a place gets about in a year. Also, it could happen...

Biogas is a type of renewable energy that belongs to the category of biofuel that is naturally produced from the decomposition of organic waste in the absence of oxygen, which is referred to as anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion is a natural form of waste-to-energy that...

Industry Background India is presently ranked fourth in the worldwide wind energy installation list, with an estimated capability of approximately 1271 MW installed on 28 February 2001, a figure behind Germany, Denmark and the US. The Worldwatch Institute in Washington acknowledges India as a ‘wind...

The benefits of solar energy do not require direct sunlight or a specific temperature. Some people have achieved better nutrition and better results on gray days. You can protect the planet by using solar panels to heat the water. For this, you need to remember:...

From the very beginning of the mankind, power generation and using it efficiently has been one of the most burning issues. For the past thousands of years, various sources of energy have been used for power generation. But alongside them a new form of energy...

Can alternative energy effectively replace oil? Energy is something that everyone in the world needs, and this is why all of the top earning companies in the world drill, make, and refine oil. Of course, a big concern nowadays is that all of the oil...

Solar Energy The Earth provides a home for us but is currently filled with a lot of CO2 which could soon hurt our world. The CO2 in the air is causing extreme heat leading to global warming. Many people are concerned about this and want...

In this part, we are going to examine hydroelectricity as an alternative source of power to fossil fuels in terms of Turkey’s technology assessments for climate change. Turkey has rugged terrain conditions and more than 25 river basins. (International Hydropower Association, 2014) That makes Turkey...

A Thermal Power Plant converts the heat energy of coal into electrical energy. Coal is burnt in a boiler which converts water into steam. The expansion of steam in turbine produces mechanical power which drives the alternator (generator) coupled to the turbine. Thermal Power Plants...

The United States currently utilizes a wide variety of energy sources to power itself. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that 2016 energy consumption looked like this: Natural gas – 33%Petroleum – 28%Coal – 17%Renewable energy – 12%Nuclear electric power – 10% For the...

The development of solar cell technology began in 1839 the search for the French physicist Antoine-César Becquerel. Becquerel observed the photovoltaic effect during experimentation with a solid electrode in an electrolyte solution when he saw that a voltage developed when the light fell on the...

Our world’s advances in energy efficiency has been crucial to our technological, economic and social development. Creating energy has powered our advancements in modern machinery as well as stimulating our economy by creating jobs and improving our quality of life. But with these advancements came...

India is a net importer of petroleum, gas and other gaseous hydrocarbons. It is expected that India’s import of hydrocarbons would amount to 300-500 billion dollars annually by 2030. To get rid of this energy dependence, India should Invest in Fuel Exploration Technology: That India...

Abstract The need for energy from sources with less environmental effect has brought the scientists’ attention and greater investment interest in the wind farms sector; which is a solution for the generation of electricity based on the power of the wind but these sectors consider...
