natural gas has generated impacts to not only the environment, but the cultural services as well. The demand for oil is projected to steadily increase at an average rate of 1.6% annually as more developing countries begin implementing carbon-based fuel systems (International Energy Agency, 2009). With the demand increasing for a less sustainable and stable resource, societies must begin implementing renewable solutions to ensure future energy demands can be met. Demand for Energy The time between World
ancient times, human had two types of energy. The two types are conventional energy and renewable energy. At that times with the available knowledge which guided human to use solar, wind and water energy which are named as renewable energy. Renewable energy defined as the energy which produced daily from nature itself without any direct cause by humans or life creatures. The second type of energy is the non-renewable or the conventional type which is the energy kind which cannot be recreated and it
Solar energy is one of the useful resources, which do not impact on the environment. Today, some consumers use fossil fuel, which is nonrenewable and cause pollution, rather than other sources. Fossil fuel can make the air unhealthy by releasing carbon dioxide; therefore, solar energy is great because it is renewable energy and it is replaced. Solar energy as the same other sources has many uses, some of them can be dangerous especially if consumers use it in a wrong way and some of them can be useful
What are the Environmental Advantages of Solar Energy? Solar energy is one of the useful resources, which do not impact on the environment. Today, most people use fossil fuel, which is nonrenewable and cause pollution, rather than other sources. Also, fossil fuel can make the air unhealthy by releasing carbon dioxide; therefore, solar energy is great because it is renewable energy and it is replaced. Solar energy has many uses some of them can be dangerous and some of them can be useful and helpful
that each individual play a role in its conservation. With the right initiatives and values, there are a number of simple tasks households can undergo and incorporate within their daily routines to assist in the preservation of nature (Nováček,2013). By supporting sustainable energy sources, cutting unnecessary energy consumption, reducing, reusing and recycling, buying local to support the local economy, and most importantly; educating others, individuals in the developed world can reduce the pressures
much of it. Solar power’s importance, though, is above what anyone could have ever imagined. There is active solar energy which is when solar power is converted into light, heat, cause air-movement for ventilation or cooling, or store heat for future use. Less thought of, the other type of solar energy is passive energy, which most take for granted. Solar power provides life with heat, light, and now, electricity. Solar power also plays a role in 4 of the 5 areas of green technology: energy, green building

The maximum recovery is thirty percent of the oil in the well. Secondary recovery pumps water or gas into the well to force oil out. Through this, an additional ten to twenty percent can be recovered. There are severe environmental impact from fossil fuel use. These impacts are found in all stages, recovery, transportation, refining,storage,and end use. During recovery of coal, the earth suffers destruction of topsoil as well as acidic run off creating orange creeks and land subsidence. Petroleum production
realize the negative impacts caused by excess greenhouse gases, numerous initiatives have been put in place. The Canadian government has vowed to decrease carbon emissions by 30% in 2030 since 2005 [4] (refer to figure 2.2). They invested $2 billion (Canadian government) in Low Carbon Economy Trust to fund projects that reduce carbon and subsidies for reducing fossil fuels consumption. The Canadian Energy Strategy was initiated to protect energy preservation, strengthen energy conservation, and introduce
Carbon Footprint The overall Vision and Mission of the Martin County Strategic Energy Master Plan establishes a county-wide Carbon Footprint baseline and creates strategic goals designed to produce reductions in of Greenhouse Gasses and Carbon Emissions and concludes with the recommendation of financially feasible best practices and technology to bring about reductions in the County’s Carbon Footprint. This process is critical, because it measures the past, current and future carbon footprint
