diesel, petrol and natural gases, because all these fuels are non renewable forms of energy. These source of energy depleted very rapid rate and after some decades they completely exhausted so we should have to prepare to face this challenges. Alternative energy will become increasingly important as fossil fuel supplies inevitably run out or environmental damage sparks consumer awareness. The search for a viable energy alternative will continue until these alternatives can address the dynamic demands

ability to generate elecricity in a renewable, clean, economical, and environmentally protectable way.This resulted in a great deal of attention that focuses on research related to renewable energy technologies such as organic solar cells (OSCs). OSCs have the potential of providing law cost renewable energy with a reasnoable efficiency. The major limitations of OSCs are the narrow absorption range within the solar spectrum, the amount of charge carriers transported and collected at the electrodes

Africa use renewable energy sources as a solution to its energy crisis? The great demand for renewable energy sources has been on a rise in South Africa since it experienced its energy crisis, namely load shedding. The load shedding occurrence is due to the non-renewable sources of energy which are diminishing. Renewable energy is a clean energy source which can be generated or manufactured faster than it can be used up. Most renewable energy sources are clean sources of energy (e.g. they don’t emit

4.4 PV Sector As the country’s economy grows and rapid urbanization, the need of more energy is required to fuel the increased level of activity. One of the driver to deploy additional capacity from the urgent need of energy is to harness the country’s RE sector particularly the solar energy. Solar was forecasted to be an instant solution to the whooping energy supply challenge of the country, since it is considered as a cost-effective technology. Thus, the country founded a non-profit organization

1.1 INTRODUCTION: Solar energy has the greatest potential of all the sources of renewable energy. If only a small amount of this form of energy could be used, it will be one of the most important supplies of energy specially when other sources in the country have depleted energy comes to the earth from the sun. This energy keeps the temperature of the earth above than in colder space, causes current in the atmosphere and in ocean. It causes the water cycle and generates photosynthesis in plants

Biofuels are becoming an increasingly important alternative to traditional forms of energy Even though production of biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, is rapidly increasing, their contribution to total fuel consumption will remain limited. Biofuels are sources of energy produced directly or indirectly from organic material including animal waste and plant material. In order to be considered a biofuel, at least 80% of the fuel must be made from renewable materials. There are 3 main types of

machines that use electricity. That means, “generators would be useless, cars wouldn’t run and there would be no chance of making a phone call” (Tom Harris, 2003). An electromagnetic bomb uses an intense electromagnetic field to create a brief pulse of energy. In the United States, most e-bomb research has been carried out at the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. Researchers have been exploring the use of high power

Walt showed me renewable energy of CBF, which comprised of photovoltaic cells on the roof and two wind turbines. According to him, the photovoltaic solar panels on roof provided 80% of the electricity and the wind turbines produced 20%. This went against the previous predicted calculations

Midland Energy resource, Inc. i. 1 Let’s assume that the Midlands borrows its debt at the yield rate of US Treasury Bonds, which is theoretically the minimum choice, and Midlands is going to pay back the debt in a recurring annual payment. We can therefore estimate the amount of annuity that Midland is going to pay back annually. Although we are only going to analyze the single debt option, we should nonetheless keep in mind that Midlands may choose to use a combined debt strategy, which is
