consumption and/or reduced consumption fromconventional energy sources” ("Energy conservation," 2011). The twotypes of energy are renewable and nonrenewable. Renewable energy sources areconstantly renewed or restored and include wind (wind power), water(hydropower), sun (solar), vegetation (biomass), and internal heat of the earth(geothermal). On the other hand, nonrenewable energy sources are naturalresources that cannot be replenished. Fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coalare the most commonly used types

document is to discuss the challenge of indoor air pollution in the region of sub-Saharan Africa. Solid fuel is the major source of this indoor air pollution and particle suspension in the air of these homes. In this region where the population is too poor to be able to afford more efficient and sustainable or less hazardous fuel sources, they are forced to rely on hazardous sources. Solid fuels come in many forms but all carry inherent health risks. Dung from livestock is flammable but releases carbon

with one of the complex decisions on owing a right vehicle. The main aim is to decide the best suitable car for our family, which meets the intended expectations. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is based on pair-wise comparison of each alternative, is used to structure the approach towards the decision. At the end of the calculation we check the consistency of results using the Consistency Ration (CR). The decision parameters and ratings awarded for analysis are purely based on my perspective

number source of energy (http://powerscorecard.org). Fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon deposit, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas, derived from the accumulated remains of ancient plants and animals and used as fuel. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases generated by burning fossil fuels are considered to be one of the principal causes of global warming. Coal is one of the most used because you can find it anywhere but it is the most dangerous. Coal is primarily used as a solid fuel to produce

Sugarcane bioethanol in Brazil Meghan Rens 2013952327 7.12.2013 1553 words INTRODUCTION Sugarcane bioethanol is the most successful alternative fuel to date. Unfortunately, only Brazil and its favourable weather conditions, expansive territory, and large unskilled labor can provide the ideal situation needed for the exploitation of this renewable energy. Being the second largest producer in the world and the first net exporter, bioethanol is largely used for domestic consumption in Brazil

totally depleted. His theory was met with ridicule, however in the 1970’s the US reached its peak of 10 million barrels per day, and has been in decline since 1972. Hubbert’s curve has been applied to a world oil supply, and other primary energy sources, such as coal and natural gas. The predictions vary as to when the world will reach its peak; however one of the most comprehensive studies surrounding the issue was completed by the UK Energy Research Council, which predicts the peak to be by 2030;
