With an increasing awareness in the fight against global warming and greenhouse gas emissions‚ governments around the world are looking for alternative sources of energy. These include wind‚ solar and hydro energy sources‚ known as renewable sources (Able to be regrown). However‚ one fuel source in particular is currently being used and produced to power both vehicles and electrical generators around the world; biofuels. Biofuels are renewable gas or liquid fuels made from plant matter such as corn

Many researchers are trying to find new renewable energy sources to help diminish carbon emissions‚ which cause global warming. Carbon dioxide (C02) is released from human activities as well as using fossil fuel these are the causes of global warming and the green-house effect (European commission 2003). The release of green house gases has risen because of increasing population and technology development which has resulted in high demand for the use of fossil fuels. This is a serious issue in many

Nowadays the amount of energy we use varies inversely to the environmental impact on our planet. And the consequence of overusing the energy may be not so positive. We have to do the actions towards to create more sustainable environment. In order to help our planet to survive the actions should be done in individual‚ local‚ national‚ and international levels. First of all‚ the sustainable development of our earth is started from the least. Consequently every human in this world should ask himself

Forms of Energy Energy exists in many forms‚ and when these change‚ energy is conserved. Different forms of energy include the following: Mechanical Thermal Chemical Electrical Electromagnetic Nuclear energy All of these types of energy have the ability to do work‚ which is also the definition of energy. Additionally‚ they have other properties‚ which are specific to their own specific form. Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is energy in the
