Green Technologies Green technology, also known as environmental or clean technology, minimizes impacts on the environment and natural resources. It’s based on concepts such as conserving water and energy, reducing waste and pollution, harnessing renewable energy sources, finding ways to reuse materials, and developing less polluting technologies. Green technology is everywhere these days; in the news, politics, fashion, and of course technology. Green Technology is becoming so widespread

For taking the stance for nuclear power, Stewart Brand presented a powerful argument. He said that nuclear energy plants can be safe and the emissions can be contained. When comparing nuclear energy with coal energy, greenhouse gas emissions are much more limited by nuclear energy. Brand also made the point that nuclear energy is more effective than renewable energies like wind and solar. This is why nuclear energy accounts for 19 percent of the United States base load electricity. This is also why

The Biophysical Foundations of Indian Cities Imagining Bangalore What do we not see on this map (or any other map)? Bangalore (like any other city) is a living organism • This is from my nephew’s 1st grade science book – Living things breathe – Living things need food – Living things excrete – Living things grow (usually only for a part of their lives) – Living things die The Problem • We understand a lot about Bangalore’s circulatory system – The flow of rupee and (especially) dollar

Most of global energy production is produced from fossil fuel such as coal, oil and natural gas. The vast majority of fossil fuels generate energy which is used for many purposes for residential, transportation and industrial sectors. The rate of consumption of fossil fuels is higher than their formation and that lead to the oil price crisis. Another concern of fossil fuel combustion is the impact on the environment. Global warming is a significant problem which results in increasing greenhouse gases

Justin Smith ENGB 5142 The Role and Challenges of Renewable Energy Energy is readily available everywhere and comes in various forms. Our universe was created when an infinitely large ball of energy suddenly collapsed and appeared as a small single speck that still contained vast amounts of energy and very low volume. Energy is a property of matter that allows life to occur. Energy sources can be transferred. Stated more eloquently in the First Law of Thermodynamics, “Energy cannot be

Ecological Footprint Since the industrial revolution, human’s demand for natural resources is greater than ever. Consumption and waste are extremely high in some countries and this is negatively impacting on our natural environment. If human’s develop the world by destroying the environment, that will not be lasting and sustainable development. We need to find the way to deal with the human development and also preserve the natural resources. The definition of the ‘ecological footprint’ is a way

IMPLEMENTATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENCT AND RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES TOWARDS ACHIEVING ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS ABSTRACT As the energy consumption, industrial production and automobile usage around the world increases gradually, the efforts to meet the steadily increasing energy demand would leave the environment devastated. Traditional buildings consume as much as 40% of the primary energy consumed worldwide and are major contributors for greenhouse gases. Hence, with the intention of reducing
