causing climate change by burning fossil fuels and cutting down trees. Too bad trees don’t provide us with Wi-Fi or money‚ we’d be planting them like crazy‚ unfortunately‚ however‚ they only provide us with the oxygen that we breathe. There shouldn’t be any debate about whether global warming is real or not‚ we know its real‚ there’s numerous evidence to support that‚ instead it should be what we’re going to do about it. Coal‚ the world’s dirtiest fossil fuel‚ accounts for about 30% of carbon emissions

Biomass energy systems are among the alternative systems under development. There is enormous biomass potential that can be tapped by improving the utilisation of existing sources‚ developing more efficient and advanced technologies to convert raw biomass into easy-to-use carriers (electricity‚ liquid or gaseous fuels‚ processed solid fuels) and by increasing

12 References 13 Introduction Biodiesel is a fuel derived from vegetable oil or animal fats that can be an additive to or entirely replace conventional petroleum diesel fuel. In the United States‚ the majority of biodiesel is made from soybean or canola oils‚ but is also made from waste stream sources such as used cooking oils or animal fats. Biodiesel is a diesel replacement fuel that is manufactured from vegetables oils‚ recycled cooking greases or oils‚ or

what alternative energy is and what it means to you. A. According to the Oxford Dictionary‚ alternative energy is energy generated in ways that do not deplete natural resources or harm the environment‚ especially by avoiding the use of fossil fuels and nuclear power (Alternative‚ 2012). 1. However‚ I’d like to point out that worldly scholars have not decided upon a unanimous definition. B. The Department of Energy makes a great point in stating “renewable energy technologies have

There are more of the renewable fuels to use like biofuels and biomass we have to wonder how all of this will affect the ever changing of the environment. There are several different environmental problems of biofuels and biomass in the world. We often wonder about the comparison of
