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”. (8%) used mainly in developing countries‚ nuclear (6%) large hydropower (2%) which are a renewable source of energy‚ and new renewable (3%) which includes

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

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:

Renew the Energy Crisis: The Bright Future of Renewable Sources The growing energy crisis has drawn the whole world’s attention. Voices coming from various roles in society have offered speakers’ worries‚ warnings‚ and solutions. Among them‚ Richard Heinberg‚ a leading educator on peak oil‚ is regarded as the world’s most effective communicators of the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels. In his book‚ The Party’s Over‚ Richard Heinberg emphasizes the emergent condition that energy resources

provide the basic building blocks for a myriad of items we use every day. In the kitchen‚ your coffee pot‚ drinking cups‚ egg cartons and cooking utensils are probably made from petroleum products. Your refrigerator shelves‚ dish sponges‚ trash bags and non-stick pans are also derived from petroleum products. As you drive or ride the bus to work‚ do you realize the dashboard‚ upholstery‚ windshield wipers‚ brake fluid and sun visors in the vehicle are also derived from natural gas and oil?

may not be possible in the coming century." It is vital to switch to renewable sources of energy which draw upon the natural forces on Earth to convert energy to be used for the processes which oil currently powers. The greenhouse effect means that when oil is burnt it releases CFCs into the atmosphere which reflects the heat from the sun back onto Earth. Although China and the Gulf region’s growth is stimulated by non-renewable resources‚ and despite natural disasters such as the BP spill‚ Piper
