especially with the rising energy demand of developing countries such as China and India. On top of this, energy demand is expected to grow by almost half over the next two decades. The charts below shows the trends of worldwide energy consumption and the energy consumption of three big giants, USA, China and India till 2040. At present, we rely on coal, oil and gas (the fossil fuels) for over 80% of our current energy needs – a situation which shows little sign of changing over the medium-term

Sun: The Earth’s Most Vital Source of Alternative Energy Our modern industrial civilization is to a large extent based on using fossil fuels. Still, due to overpopulation, climate change, and the scarcity of resources, one of the most precious and efficient sources of energy, oil, has already started to exhaust (Bode, 2005, p.81). This fact has caused scientists globally to seek for substitutes to fossil fuels to avoid economic and industrial collapse. Experts in the field of sustainable energy

Introduction 1. [pp: 2Albert]Albert Einstein once said: “The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.” 2. Nuclear power is a source of energy that occurs when a neutron is launched at an unstable atom like uranium or plutonium. A cool fact about nuclear power is that it is a scientific discovery that was funded by the military. The US called it the Manhattan project. The project existed

In these times with the areas of iron ore use increasing, it is very important to use raw material that not only increase the productivity but also produce a better quality iron. In order to get good quality of iron with efficient cost of production we have to choose the right raw material. Blast furnace raw material has changed in character greatly in the last 2 or 3 decades recent decades. Formerly, they used raw material as raw iron ores only, but now most of the raw ores are replaced by prefluxed
