business plan in the field of renewable energy 2013 Strategy Builders Consulting Inc. 2/5/2013 Introduction Sustainable development and renewable energy are among the most talked about topics at the moment. Renewable energy is the concept that the think tanks are throwing their weight behind‚ and the same is true for the European Union (EU‚ henceforth) The business model that we are going to propose‚ deals with promoting renewable energy resources‚ and has a lot of other elements to it‚ which

to the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide emissions account for 80% of global warming of GHG emission‚ as compared with 57% in the 1980s (Lashof & Ahuja‚ 1990). Panwar‚ Kaushik & Kothari (2011) also states that excessive fossil fuel consumption will have adverse impacts on the environment‚ and increase threat of global climate change. Fortunately‚ more and more countries are starting to be aware of climate change‚ which comes as a result of the increase of emission of GHG. Therefore‚ various

Assess the level of energy security in the UK Energy security is defined as the extent to which an affordable‚ reliable and stable energy supply can be achieved. Over the last few decades‚ the energy situation in the UK has constantly been changing‚ from producing enough oil and natural gas to be a net exporter of both fuels to now being on the brink of not importing and producing enough energy to meet the nations’ demands. The past decades of the UK’s energy were probably brighter days than what

FiberLaboratory The purpose of the research was to develop new foils model for headbox screen on higher consistency level of the feed flow than foil that is used today with target feed/accept consistency being approximately 2.0%. However‚ energy consumption and pulsation level should be in same range as today’s foil type has. The study was commissioned by Andritz. The study was carried out at Fiber-Laboratory in Savonlinna. The work was divided into four parts. First part was the test of Dolphin

1) first discuss how energy can be converted from one form to another‚ giving specific examples. Energy in a system may be transformed so that it resides in a different state. Energy in many states may be used to do many varieties of physical work. Energy may be used in natural processes or machines‚ or else to provide some service to society (such as heat‚ light‚ or motion). For example‚ an internal combustion engine converts the potential chemical energy in gasoline and oxygen into

green is not strictly a new technological concept‚ and any naturally occurring and theoretically inexhaustible energy such as wind‚ biomass‚ and solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ hydroelectric power that is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel is referred to as renewable energy. The relevance of these emerging fields became more pronounced when the need to produce clean‚ safe and efficient energy devices without trading off environmental friendliness arise. The current electricity production from fossil fuels

any information about how consumers actually use energy. That makes it difficult to develop more efficient approaches to distribution. The current system offers few ways to handle power provided by alternative energy sources. Without useful information‚ energy companies and consumers have difficulty making good decisions about using energy wisely. A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology to • save energy • reduce costs • increase reliability and transparency

Are the major oil companies putting their best foot forward on global climate change & the environment? Climate change is a serious global concern of both the public and the governments. With the increase in greenhouse gases (GHGs)‚ mainly carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and methane in the earth’s atmosphere. There is a widespread view that this increase is leading to climate change‚ with adverse effects on the environment. According to the IPCC official report website (2007): “Warming of the climate
