Solar energy ------------------------------------------------- Solar energy‚ radiant light and heat from the sun‚ has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar energy technologies include solar heating‚ solar photovoltaics‚ solar thermal electricity‚ solar architecture and artificial photosynthesis‚ which can make considerable contributions to solving some of the most urgent energy problems the world now faces.

assess personal energy use and speak about the forms of energy that I currently rely on and the sources they originate from. It also talks about renewable energy sources that would be most and least appropriate to use in a certain location. Then it refers to the advantages and disadvantages of the energy source that I currently use‚ also about renewable ones that have been identified. The last part of the paper addresses energy conservation and its impacts on the environment. Energy is embodied in

Alternative Energy for Future Nowadays the most common energy resources come from Fossil Fuel‚ which according to research it shows that more of 85% of all energy that is consumed in the United States. It takes millions of years for the Fossil Fuel to actually develop and ready to be used‚ and the main concern of Fossil Fuel is that it cannot be consumed over and over again or reused. Through this analysis it can be assumed that because it takes millions of years for the fossil fuel to develop‚

This paper states why energy insecurity is a problem in Indonesia‚ how it was identified‚ its causes and the current responses to solve this problem. The engineering solutions would focus on sustainability and affordability‚ without compromising future generation energy needs in Indonesia. International Energy Agency defines energy security as the “uninterrupted availability of energy sources at affordable prices”. Currently Indonesia faces the lack of long term energy security. This is evident

Proposal Energy Audit: An energy audit is an inspection‚ survey and analysis of energy‚ flows for energy conservation in a building‚ process or system to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). Energy audit identifies opportunities for financial savings by elimination of wasteful use of electricity‚ coal and fuel oil‚ without affecting the process or quality of product. Need for Energy Audit: It has been established that Energy savings

to have an ever-increasing need for more energy. Both households and industries require large amounts of power. At the same time our means of production face new problems. International treaties aim to limit the levels of pollution‚ global warming prompts action to reduce the output of carbon dioxide and several countries have decided to decommission old nuclear power plants and not build new ones. Such development brings about the need to replace old energy production methods with new ones. While

Energy crisis is a major challenge that should be overcome in modern times when people have embraced the use of electric devices in performing various activities. Consequently‚ the use of these electric devices leads to heavy consumption of electric power that calls for the adoption of energy efficient appliances. Energy efficiency refers to reduced use of energy in a given service (Dorsi & Krigger‚ 2008). The reduced consumption of energy is as a result of technological advancement as well as from
