Identify three renewable energy sources and assess their potential to replace fossil fuel The rapid depletion of fossil fuels has given serious warning that the era of using conventional energy is coming to an end. Due to the energy shortage‚ a need to find replacement of fossil fuels has appeared. Moreover‚ problems such as various pollution and serious climate change have occurred‚ which makes renewable and less pollution energy source alternative choices. Therefore‚ three options can be suggested

the impact of the social systems that constantly surround us. The systems that we associate with are much bigger than ourselves. In fact‚ they define who we are not only as individuals‚ but also as part of a society. Allan Johnson‚ author of The Forest and the Trees‚ does an incredible job of investigating on the importance of looking at society through an outside lens; taking a step back and analyzing the social systems we are all involved in. He shows that in doing so‚ we are able to learn more

Proposal for Renewable Energy Systems with application to Rural Area in Asia by Buku Raz Abstract This study is based on optimization and simulation modelling of renewable energy system in rural area in India. The model we have designed provides an optimal system configuration based on hour-by-hour data for energy availability and demands. This model produces a minimum cost design for an energy system as well as the capacities of each technology. This tells us how to configure the system

Introduction A forest is a complex ecosystem which is predominantly composed of trees‚ shrubs and is usually a closed canopy. Forests are storehouses of a large variety of life forms such as plants‚ mammals‚ birds‚ insects and reptiles etc. Also the forests have abundant microorganisms and fungi‚ which do the important work of decomposing dead organic matter thereby enriching the soil. Nearly 4billion hectares of forest cover the earth’s surface‚ roughly 30 percent of its total land area.The forest ecosystem

Temperate forests correspond to forest concentrations formed in the northern and southern hemisphere‚ or in temperate regions. Main characteristics include: wide leaves‚ large and tall trees and non seasonal vegetation. Temperate forests can be further distinguished by weatherpatterns and geographical features that favor the predominance of certain kinds of trees. In temperate coniferous forests‚ evergreen coniferspredominate‚ while in temperate broadleaf and mixed forests‚ a more even distribution
