nuclear plant may be having better viability with respect to coal -based plant‚ if it located at more than 1‚000-1‚200 km away from coal deposits. It is surprising and many may not be knowing that despite substantive coal reserves (though of low quality coal)‚ India today imports nearly 10 million tonnes of coal annually and this figure could increase eightfold by 2012! Coal can’t remain the source of energy for a long time in India. However‚ coal still serves as a

trees. It slowly destroys everything. Industrial countries should control their level of pollution and try to reduce it. At the moment‚ 94 % of the world’s energy comes from oil‚ gas and coal. But these ‘fossil fuels’ won’t last for ever. There’s only enough oil and gas for the next 50 years. Coal will last longer — perhaps about 300 years. And then? Well‚ one answer is nuclear energy. But‚ today‚ after Chernobyl‚ many people think it’s too dangerous. There are four solutions. They all use

In today’s world‚ we are struggling to produce‚ export and harvest nonrenewable resources such as crude oil‚ coal and nuclear energy. People of the world depend on these resources to survive from day to day‚ either putting gas into your vehicle to get to work or producing coal to run our electricity. While most of these resources take thousands of years to form they cannot be replaced as fast as they are being consumed. We as consumers need to reduce our dependency on these non renewable resources

2014 Pick Your Poison Nuclear power plant or coal-burning power plant? There’s no denying the controversy that arises any time power plants come into discussion‚ but there are many recent discoveries causing more people to sway in one direction. We must take all factors such as emissions and other environmental effects into consideration. Upon doing research‚ it is clear that nuclear power is far safer‚ and could benefit the state more than burning coal ever could. Nuclear power plants are much

The need arises for sea transport when one country has a shortage of something‚ such as iron-ore‚ grain or coal‚ and another country has a surplus. These three types of commodities make up the dry-bulk industry. As such‚ when analysing the demand level of sea transport‚ we realize the overall level of demand for sea transport activity has

CHAPTER 01 INTRODUCTION 1.1 FLY ASH India produces about 70 million tons of coal ash per year from burning about 200 million tons of coal per year for electric power generation. Coal-ash management posses a serious environmental problem for India and requires a mission-mode approach. Considerable research and development work have been undertaken across the country towards confidence building and developing suitable technologies for disposal and utilization of fly ash construction

Part One - Introduction Fossil Fuels are the most important energy sources in our world today. The overwhelming majority of the huge amount of energy used in the world comes from the burning of three major fossil fuels: coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy‚ and there is no other . They are formed over a very long period of time; the fossil fuels on earth today were formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago. These fossil

Pakistan is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of natural resources but also one of the poorest among them in their management. The country is abundant in the vital resources including that of energy‚ agriculture‚ minerals‚ population‚ and geography‚ but unlike the developed countries‚ these have not been properly exploited due to poor management. This dismayed situation is caused due to several‚ both chronic and acute‚ flaws which have led to poor governance of country since its
