Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas: electricity generation‚ hot water/space heating‚ motor fuels‚ and rural (off-grid) energy services. About 16% of global final energy consumption presently comes from renewable resources‚ with 10% of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly

INTRODUCTION Energy is the basic necessity for life. But for energy no form of life would have ever emerged. We all know energy for providing us light and comfort. It can help us to cool down during summers and feel warm during winters. It also helps us to go from one place to another. All automobiles need energy to run; but even otherwise all other means of transport need energy. But even though we use it every moment of our life and learn about it at school it often remains a riddle

EDF Energy My individual seminar paper is written on EDF Energy. This is one of UK’s largest energy companies and its large producer of low carbon electricity. They generate around one fifth of the UK’s electricity. They supply electricity and gas to around 5.5 million residential and business customers‚ making them the biggest supplier of electricity by volume. The market segments they target; 1. They target individual home owners through SME. 2. They also target business organisations

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

KINETIC ENERGY Objects have energy because of their motion; this energy is called kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of the objects having mass m and velocity v can be calculated with the formula given below; K=1/2mv² Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity; it does not have a direction. Unlike velocity‚ acceleration‚ force‚ and momentum‚ the kinetic energy of an object is completely described by magnitude alone. Like work and potential energy‚ the standard metric unit of measurement for kinetic energy is
