Renewable Energy The use of renewable energy is probably one of the very few solutions for the energy needs of the future. It is considered as a form of safe‚ clean‚ and non terminating energy. In addition to all of that‚ renewable energy always brings marvelous economic benefits to any industry that uses it. Although renewable energy is expensive‚ time consuming‚ and less reliable sometimes‚ yet it still stands out as the solution for the energy needs of the future with respect to a safer environment

A vegetable oil is a triglyceride extracted from a plant. Such oils have been part of human culture for millennia.[1] The term "vegetable oil" can be narrowly defined as referring only to substances that are liquid at room temperature‚[2] or broadly defined without regard to a substance’s state of matter at a given temperature.[3] For this reason‚ vegetable oils that are solid at room temperature are sometimes called vegetable fats. Vegetable oils are composed of triglycerides‚ as contrasted with waxes which

Review on Sources In South Africa Electrical Energy is supplied mainly in the Form of grid electricity provided by ESKOM. However‚ consumers still consider other alternative energy sources for use in order to reduce energy expenses. Users particularly in low income households continue to use a variety of other energy sources. Other sources include solar energy‚ wind energy‚ hydrocarbon fuels wood‚ coal and paraffin and own power generation using generators. GRID ELECTRICITY Grid electricity
