Brazil is a Latin American country known as the biggest country in South America and the fifth largest in the world. Brazil is also a political and economic leader in South America in terms of international trade. Brazil is about to become a dominant power on the international scene. One of the great advantages Brazil has for energy potential comes from having several different climate zones. A dry‚ sunny climate in the center gives opportunity for the solar sector to be developed‚ and windy coasts

Compared to the West‚ India’s energy consumption is growing at break-neck speed. As India’s poor millions advance out of poverty‚ they are consuming more and more power‚ outstripping national power production. The negative gap between consumption and production has been increasing exponentially in the past two decades‚ forcing the government to buy increasing quantities of power from abroad. This trend is set to continue‚ with the country doubling it’s energy consumption in the next 20 years. Finding alternatives

Sustainability in Hotels the hospitality sector are relatively straightforward to record and interpret (e.g. occupancy percentages‚ capitalization rates‚ RevPAR‚ etc.)‚ sustainability has remained intrinsically difficult to quantify. Sustainability issues touch on nearly all aspects of hotel ownership and management‚ necessitating the alignment of environmental‚ social‚ and financial factors to promote responsible business operations over time. Despite the lack of clear‚ universally accepted metrics

This rising demand for cooling and air-conditioning in buildings involves unfavourable fossil fuel consumptions as well as upcoming stability problems in the electricity supply in Mediterranean countries‚ which in turn demands for costly upgrading of the grids to handle electricity peak power demand situations. On this account the use of solar thermal energy

With our present distribution networks‚ we can get fossil fuels of all kinds around the world. That makes it easy to employ them‚ no matter where you are. Thus‚ there is a huge dependence of fossil fuels. That means‚ as energy is running out‚ everyone will suffer the consequences. Not only will it raise the demand and price‚ but will also affect the political stand point of each nation- especially‚ the third world countries. As the demand of energy increases and the supply becomes more limited‚ nations

ABSTRACT This report presents the emphasis on implementation of renewable energy resources in India. A detailed analysis of the renewable energy sector shows there are less policies and investments in the innovation of this energy. India has limited energy resources and one day it will only depend on renewable energy resources. For this‚ Indian government should implement several measures like sustainable planning; reasonable budget etc. so that renewable energy sources optimally utilized and conserves

Emeritus in Physics at Corpus Christi College‚ Oxford‚ expects the world energy use is doubling every fourteen years and the need is increasing faster still and he insisted in 2008 that the world oil production‚ a main resource of fossil fuel‚ is expected to peak in ten years and thereafter fall (Hodgson‚ 2008). More than 90% of greenhouse gas emissions come from the combustion of fossil fuels (Wikipedia‚ n.d.). Therefore‚ consumption of fossil fuel resources leads to global warming and climate change
