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

The government expects enormous increases in solar and wind power capacity for 2018 — solar will increase from 54.6 MW in 2012 to 627.5 MW in 2018‚ while wind will reach 8‚922 MW from its current 1‚332 MW in the same period.

China’s Pollution Problem China‚ one of the worlds largest industrial powers‚ is now facing a difficult situation. China’s industries rely largely on coal power which emits harmful gases‚ causing intense air pollution. The Chinese government‚ in fear that the country would fall in a recession‚ has not done much to stop these industries‚ so China has become the second largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world. The types of pollution created by this include air pollution and water pollution‚ both

Most Energy Efficient How does a wind turbine’s output vary with wind pressure (height of water)‚ the flow rate‚ size of the motor‚ and type of blade? Introduction There are many types of energy used today: Fossil fuels‚ coal‚ nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ geothermal energy‚ hydrogen energy‚ hydroelectric energy‚ wind energy‚ and biofuels and biomass. Non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels and coal are diminishing since it cannot be recycled‚ unlike wind energy (renewable). Also‚ use of
