RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES ABSTRACT The electricity requirements of the world including India are increasing at alarming rate and the power demand has been running ahead of supply. It is also now widely recognized that the fossil fuels (i.e.‚ coal‚ petroleum and natural gas) and other conventional resources‚ presently being used for generation of electrical energy‚ may not be either sufficient or suitable to keep pace with ever increasing demand of the electrical energy of the

Global warming is an issue that has been plaguing the earth for several decades. Some effects of global warming are apparent as witnessed by increasing temperatures‚ bigger storms‚ heat waves‚ torrential rain pour‚ melting of glaciers in the Antarctic and rising sea levels. The cause of global warming is the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) through burning of fossil fuels. Petroleum products are the most notorious fossil fuel used by mankind for activities of daily living and development of nations

What is a renewable source of energy? Energy is essential for life. We use it in factories‚ in cars‚ airplanes‚ trains and ships. To heat food‚ light our houses etc. However‚ energy consumption is different in different countries. Since always human beings have used energy sources to do work or produce heat. Firstly‚ they used domestic animals or their physical forces. After‚ they used the wind and the water. Then‚ they exploited the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. In the near future we

As we know‚ the United States consumes more power than any other country in the world. The success of the U.S. can be directly related to its power consumption. Most of our electricity that power our homes comes from burning fossil fuels (Coal‚ oil etc.) that puts Co2 in the atmosphere‚ this is causing major pollution. The U.S. has mainly refused to take this matter seriously‚ as showed by their refusal to ratify the Kyoto Protocol

Effect of Fossil Fuels on Biodiversity & Alternative Energy Resources Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits derived from the remains of ancient plants and animals under enormous amounts of heat and pressure. Oil‚ or petroleum‚ is one of the most common fossil fuels utilized by people all over the world on a daily basis. Crude oil is a smelly‚ yellow-black‚ viscous liquid composed of mostly nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ and sulfur‚ which is found in underground reservoirs. Oil is nonrenewable which means once it

The Need For Responsible Energy Usage Fossil fuels: the world ’s primary energy source‚ a precious resource capable of powering both vehicles and economies. This nonrenewable fuel source is created by dead animal and plant matter that has become fossilized through the application of pressure and heat in Earth ’s crust over millions of years. Once thought to be in abundance‚ this depleting fuel source has both consumers and producers worried about its future‚ as most modern transportation technology

Introduction India’s energy sector is currently confronted with multiple challenges‚ which stem not only from supply-side constraints but also from demand pressures imposed by a buoyant economy and a growing population. As per recent Planning Commission estimates‚ if economic growth is sustained in the 7-8 per cent range‚ the energy demand would rise by at least 5.2 per cent annually. In the face of relatively inflexible supply options‚ the gap between energy requirement and availability
