[DISSERTATION PROJECT] | To assess the viability of an E Waste collection centre in Hinjewadi | ACKNOWLEDGEMENT It gives me great pleasure in expressing my gratitude to my professor‚ Dr. Prakash Rao also the Head of Department – Energy & Environment‚ for his valuable teachings and guidance throughout the program. Without his supervision‚ this endeavor would have been a futile exercise. I would also like to thank all the E-waste dealers around Pune whom I contacted‚ for providing me

So many of the products that we use on a daily basis are powered because of electricity‚ which in turn is generated because of energy. American’s use a mixture of different energy sources to cool and heat our homes‚ offices‚ and means of transportation. We also use energy sources to illuminate and power these same places. Oil has provided the United States with less than 50% of energy needs and supplies

Coal is an un-renewable fossil fuel which is known as a cheap and reliable energy source. It has many environmental impacts‚ both positive and negative. Coal has a great economical effect providing thousands of people with jobs‚ and harmfully leaving individuals with un-producible land. It has a social impact negatively when people live near coal mines. Coal is a flammable‚ mostly black rock‚ which has been located in 50 different countries around the world. Coal is known as a fossil fuel because

Its objective is to produce an environmentally-safe fluid waste stream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste (or treated sludge) suitable for disposal or reuse (usually as farm fertilizer). Using advanced technology it is now possible to re-use sewage effluent for drinking water‚ although Singapore is the only country to implement

Hazards of Electronic waste Electronic waste‚ e-waste‚ e-scrap‚ or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) describes loosely discarded‚ surplus‚ obsolete‚ or broken electrical or electronic devices. Informal processing of electronic waste in developing countries causes serious health and pollution problems. Some electronic scrap components‚ such as CRTs‚ contain contaminants such as lead‚ cadmium‚ beryllium‚ mercury‚ and brominated flame retardants. Even in developed countries recycling

Because it has no danger to human life like nuclear powerplants‚ it is free to use and it has no waste. There are three types of alternative energy sources: Solar‚ wind and water. This report will be about solar energy. Its purpose is giving some information about solar energy to mechanical engineering students and engineers and calling attention on solar energy. The

Topic Canada should subsidize renewable energy options such as wind and solar power in order to increase the share of renewables in Canada’s energy balance. Introduction Canada government subsidizes a number of socially beneficial services‚ including health care‚ education and energy services. Subsidies to the energy sector mainly are for oil and gas production‚ however‚ they are not all socially beneficial[figure 1]. In fact‚ they have negative impact for the environment and hinder

immediate action to incorporation renewable energy sources is crucial. Specifically‚ the government should stop giving subsidies to oil companies and instead be using taxpayers’ money to develop solar energy‚ such as‚ solar thermal energy in order to establish a sustainable‚ clean‚ responsible and efficient form for energy for generations to come. While solar energy startup and even maintenance costs can be just as expensive as oil and coal production‚ solar energy is undoubtedly worth the price in the
