the ministry of new and renewable energy. At present‚ India’s installed power capacity is 2‚10‚645 MW with renewable energy contributing 26‚900 MW or 12.4%. From various energy technologies‚ a capacity addition of about 30‚000 MW has been planned during the 12th Plan period 2012-2017. The focus is now on mainstreaming renewable energy technologies so that it becomes cost-effective. Of this‚ 69% is generation from wind and 4.5% from solar. Incidentally‚ India was the first country to set up

Energy From the moment we wake up in the morning until the time we go to bed each night‚ we all use different forms of energy to perform our daily activities. On a daily basis I use energy for transportation to commute to and from work and run errands; for cooking meals using either my gas range‚ microwave or charcoal grill; for heating my home in the winter and cooling my home in the summer; for daily showering‚ and for lighting my home in order to be comfortable and productive. Most of the

consider other alternative energy sources for use in order to reduce energy expenses. Users particularly in low income households continue to use a variety of other energy sources. Other sources include solar energy‚ wind energy‚ hydrocarbon fuels wood‚ coal and paraffin and own power generation using generators. GRID ELECTRICITY Grid electricity from Eskom is the most common source of energy for household consumers in South Africa and in 1997 it provided around 66% of the overall household

past weekend rather than the company‚ our recent meeting regarding the issue of maximizing energy efficiency has interested me into researching wind turbines and other sustainable practices. As a manager and colleague‚ I believe it is not in the company’s best interest investing into wind turbines at this time and also due to Carbondale’s low average wind speed. However‚ I believe there are alternative energy-saving options that could be implemented to lessen Groggs peak energy expenses and specifically

For instance‚ there are wind farms. The wind is a renewable energy that is often overlooked. With new technology‚ it’s possible to harness the wind and convert it into a power source. The United Kingdom has managed to do this with success. In the southeast coast of England‚ the government was able to build an off-shore wind farm with over 100 turbines‚ which harvests the power of the wind. The Thanet wind farm‚ as they named it‚ is capable of producing enough energy to power over 200‚000 households

Do you remember in 2010 when every news station and every newspaper across the country had a headline about the BP oil spill? Do you think if America would have started converting to another resource such as wind‚ this would’ve still happened? Are oil and oil based products are taking over the economy? Think about everything you used today that uses or is made with oil such as gas‚ plastic‚ ink‚ and tires. Americans consume petroleum products at a rate of three-and-a-half gallons of oil and more

stonework. This pollution issue can be mainly avoided by using a flue gas desulphuration. This eliminates sulphur dioxide gas before being released into the atmosphere using a “scrubber” system which sprays alkaline calcium hydroxide solution through power station emissions and converts the gas into gypsum (calcium sulphate). This is a useful product for the building trade being the main constituent of plaster. However this process does not prevent carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere which is the

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources which are continually replenished such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources‚ with 10%[discuss] of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.[2] The share of renewables
