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

matter and energy cycle throughout systems. The cycling throughout networks can be explained by the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy‚ which states that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed‚ only changed. This cycle applies to many things‚ such as energy cycling through a food web‚ carbon traveling through the biosphere in the carbon cycle‚ and the movement of energy and materials that are used during photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The cycling of matter and energy is essential

Renewable Energy in Malaysia Energy is a key driver for economic growth‚ constituting about 20% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2010‚ the total primary energy supply was 3127.7 petajoules. The main energy sources of commercial energy supply were crude oil‚ which accounted 44.7% and natural gas which accounted 41.6%. These sources remain major ones. However‚ the share of coal and coke increased from 9.1% in 2005 to 11.2 % in these years and only 2.5% came from the non-fossil source of hydro

Energy is an important part of our life‚ and no human being in the 21st century can live without it‚ energy now a day means electricity and electricity is running our world‚ with no energy there will be no electricity and then no hospitals‚ no technology and we will go back to stone ages. Energy sources on planet earth can be classified into two types‚ “renewable” and “nonrenewable” energy sources‚ they both differ in many aspects‚ both of them have advantages and disadvantages‚ and both of them

sparing the energy. Cities must be planned in such a way that the commuting distance is minimized. In industry many things could be done to reduce waste of energy or to economize energy. The maintenance may be tightened; waste heat must be utilized properly. If systems arc streamlined‚ economy in fuel could be obtained. Instead of using materials requiring higher energy‚ those which require lower energy can be used. By effecting minor changes in the existing plants‚ economy in energy could be achieved
