in engines. Reduction in embodied energy There is a close relationship between the energy we use and global warming. We can therefore try to reduce the amount of energy we use in construction by specifying materials that have lower embodied energy. Natural timber products are excellent examples as they absorb carbon during growth and cost little to convert into a useable construction product. Cement –based products‚ contain high levels of embedded energy‚ careful consideration should be given

Solar energy is significant in our lives and easy to use because sun is an inexhaustible supply. People are now trying to replace the energy sources with solar energy to keep earth clean and to save money. Solar energy is important in many different areas. Plants and animals use solar energy to continue their lives. Most of their cells need solar energy to produce nutrients. The importance of solar energy increased when people understood that they can convert it to convenient energy. Another fact

Energy Policy in EU The European Union has entered a new and crucial stage in energy policy. After the adoption of legally binding targets to address climate change‚ energy security and competitiveness‚ the 27 member states are now turning their attention to the implementation of these targets. However‚ with an unfinished internal market for gas and electricity and with member states continuing to focus on bilateral energy relationships with supplier countries‚ the EU is still at the very beginning

Question: Energy is the main culprit of environmental degradation. Energy usage is undeniably a major contributor of environmental degradation‚ as large quantities of carbon dioxide and other waste products are emitted that ultimately causes a multitude of environmental problems‚ especially global warming. Energy and the environment are inextricably linked due to a carbon dynamics‚ where energy usage results in carbon dioxide emissions which accumulate in the atmosphere (Appendix A). Over time

Alternative energy resources What are Alternative energy resources?? It is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. It is a form of energy derived from a natural source‚ such as the sun‚ wind‚ tides‚ or waves and are also known as “Renewable Energy” that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment. They are considered alternatives because they can be future replacements for the fossil fuels that now meet a considerable portion of our energy needs. What Energy Resources
