ENERGY EFFICIENCY: MISSIONS AND MEASURES INTRODUCTION Talking about the importance of energy efficiency measures in India‚ the first thing that comes to the mind is JNNURM mission‚ a joint initiative by the Ministry Of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation and the Ministry of Urban Development on behalf of the Government of India. But before going to the details of JNNURM mission it is important to first understand the importance and need of Energy Efficiency in the Indian context. The need

Energy Alternatives: * Alternative energy is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. In a general sense in contemporary society‚ alternative energy is that which is produced without the undesirable consequences of the burning of fossil fuels‚ such as high carbon dioxide emissions‚ which is considered to be the major contributing factor of global warming. * This chapter discussed only a few of the possible alternatives to our current combustible energy generation system

Romar M. Cabinta EXERCISES 15 WORK‚ ENERGY‚ AND POWER A. CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS 1. Is work done when you move a book from the top of the desk to the floor? Why? Yes. It is because the displacement of the book from the top of the desk to the floor and the force that is applied to the book is parallel with one another. 2. State the law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy in two ways? The law of conservation of energy states that energy may neither be created nor destroyed.

International treaties aim to limit the levels of pollution‚ global warming prompts action to reduce the output of carbon dioxide and several countries have decided to decommission old nuclear power plants and not build new ones. Such development brings about the need to replace old energy production methods with new ones. While several are in development‚ including

ow‚ what do mean by this? This means that conservation of a unit of energy is cheaper and environmentally more desirable than to generate an additional unit. For‚ it is estimated that generation of every additional kilowatt for one hour of energy requires an investment of Rs. 7‚000 to 12‚000 in the form of new energy generation equipments. Excessive utilization of coal and oil for generation of electricity leads to the multiple problems of acid rain‚ and rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere

is an un-renewable fossil fuel which is known as a cheap and reliable energy source. It has many environmental impacts‚ both positive and negative. Coal has a great economical effect providing thousands of people with jobs‚ and harmfully leaving individuals with un-producible land. It has a social impact negatively when people live near coal mines. Coal is a flammable‚ mostly black rock‚ which has been located in 50 different countries around the world. Coal is known as a fossil fuel because it is
