Paper No.9408 Abstract One seventh of total energy consumption is from biomass which is the main energy resource for over 1.5 billion people in the world. Biomass energy is the only one which has both the property of fossil fuel and characteristics which mean that it can be stored‚ renewed and transferred. It is less restricted by natural conditions.

Then it has explained the 3 factors resulting in this severe scenario‚ containing soaring population‚ economy growth as well as disparity and imbalance between energy consumption and production. As one of the industries which consume a large amount of energy‚ it is urgent for transport sector to figure out some methods to cope with energy crisis. Alternative energy sources‚ energy-saving vehicles‚ public transport system

Fossil Fuels which include Petroleum and Natural Gas were formed million years ago from the remains of plants and animals‚ are responsible 40% and 20% respectively for the world ’s energy. They were first discovered about 700-900 years ago‚ however since the first modern petroleum industry began in 1859‚ the demand for fossil fuels has escalated beyond our control. It had taken 50-300 million years to form‚ and yet we have managed to burn roughly half of all global oil reserves in merely 125 years

1. Introduction The environment in South Africa is fairly fragile within the context of water and electricity. The CIA (2013) describe South Africa as a country which has a semi-arid climate and has a natural hazard of prolonged droughts. The CIA World Fact Book further illustrates that South Africa is ranked the eighteenth biggest consumer (by country) of electricity globally. 90% of South Africa’s electricity is derived from coal burning power stations (EIA‚ 2013). It follows that national‚ corporate

From the past decades‚ energy has been a huge help on the economic growth. Through the distribution of energy to the world it has been providing much efficient growth on discovering new technologies and giving job opportunities that drastically helped our local and global economy. Because of the vast growth of our economy‚ the consumptions and energy demands has been growing

During President Bush’s visit to Pakistan earlier this year‚ he and the Pakistani president committed to developing alternative energy sources. Pakistan’s current and future energy needs was the topic of another Asia Program conference on June 23. Fueling the Future Natural gas and oil supply 80 percent of Pakistan’s energy needs but current energy consumption vastly exceeds the supply. For
