Many things these days are taken for granted and used with great liberty‚ but none more prevalent than the consumption of petroleum based fossil fuels worldwide. As stated in The International Energy Outlook 2006 (Energy Information Administration‚ 2006a)‚ "World oil consumption rose by about 1.2 million barrels per day in 2005‚ after an increase of 2.6 million barrels per day in 2004". Current projections indicate increasing demand for oil by the transportation sector‚ where there is currently not

Future of Nuclear Energy- Thorium According to the United Nations‚ we are expecting the world population to reach approximately nine billion in 2050. Because of this rapid increase in world population‚ humans have been looking for cheap‚ safe‚ and environmentally friendly energy sources to satisfy the population’s necessities. For the past few decades‚ the human population has been using coal‚ oil‚ and gas as our energy source‚ but we quickly found out that was not enough. One of the other

the World with Renewable Energy For the longest people around the world have been trying to use renewable energy to help the planet. The energy system of the 20th century is based primarily on the use of fossil fuels (coal‚ oil and gas). These represented in 2008‚ 81% of all energy consumed‚ the remaining 19% originated in “traditional biomass”.

Renewable Energy Sources are defined renewable non-fossil energy sources including wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ wave‚ tidal‚ hydropower‚ biomass‚ landfill gas‚ sewage treatment plant gas and biogases. In Hong Kong‚ the energy consumption is highly relied on non-renewable resources such as coal‚ natural gas‚ oil etc. However‚ if we only depend on those resources continuously‚ it may have a high risk of deficiency. Because of the limitation of the Non-Renewable Resources‚ Renewable Energy Sources have

Patrick Meehan Jeb Waldschmidt ENGL 102-05 3-26-05 Natural Gas and the Future of Energy Until recently natural gas was considered the dirty brother of oil. Natural gas was often stranded and left undeveloped‚ often wasting it. Oftentimes natural gas was considered unusable ’ and worthless ’ compared to oil. But now that the oil is running out a new light is being shown on natural gas. Today natural gas is very much in favor as a clean fossil fuel‚ especially for

Types of Energy Energy resources are materials or processes in nature that can be used to do work. Generally speaking‚ energy sources can be divided into two categories‚ non-renewable energy resources‚ and renewable energy resources. Non-renewable energy resources are resources that cannot be replenished in a short period of time (for example: oil‚ natural gas‚ uranium‚ coal). On the other hand‚ renewable energy resources are resources that can be replenished within a short period of time (for example:
