Green Energy
Green energy or renewable energy is a great solution, not only to fight climate change and global warming, but also to improve the environment of our planet. This energy is generated from naturally sources as there are: solar, wind,geo-thermal,hydro... these sources have no or little impact on the environment.
Green energy will become more important in time, because the more conventional energy sources like fossil fuel will run dry. When this will happen? Some scientists Say in about 20-50 years . But fact is: no one really knows. That the fossil fuel reserves will be ending on day ,that's definitely a fact.
How many green energy sources are there?
There's Biofuel...to start with
Biofuel
or bio gas generated from a
biogas plant
,are much cleaner energy source then the conventional electricity gaining from fossil fuels, like coal and oil.But there's much more that biogas has to offer..
Then there's also wood. Wood is in fact
Biomass energy
It's the oldest form of energy and probably the first used by humans..We all know it by the name of "wood", and wood gas.
During the second world war, wood gas was quit common for use.
Now there's an renewed interrest in these sort of technique.
The
"Wood gas" Generator
is back again.. But will it stay that way? We'll wait and see..
Solar energy,
More and more people find the way to solar power. You see more and more houses with on the roof 12 to 16 solar panels. The cost of these panels are still quit high. Probably the prices of these panels, when solar energy become more common,will go down.
Solar power here..
Also, if you resides in a country were they give subsidies to keep costs low,and to promote renewable energy resources. Then, solar energy will pay you back double in time. Here are some
Solar energy resources...
Wind energy
To gain electricity
by wind power
that more and more companies going to use. More and more business companies knowing that being "green" is sort of publicity for the company too.
Windturbine information
A windmill is quit expensive. But, honestly... the electricity bill is also. Business and managements understands how important it is of working on the environmental image of the company. Its a win win situation.
People see that company as a company that takes some responsibility. Go
One: You win the hearts of the people. They see your company as environmental responsible one.
Two: Your company wins with saving on energy bill. True, The expenses to building a wind turbine are huge, but the profits that the company will generates in time, and not to mention the publicity of "going green" will be a lot more.
Hydro energy!
The power of water has been used for over thousands of years. In Imperial Rome, as well as among other ancient people, water were used to powered mills produced flour from grain, and were also used for sawing timber and stone.Now hydro power is about gigantic dams and green electricity... More
Hydro power plants..
Tidal energy is a relatively new and still in a development stage form of "green energy".Engineers world wide trying to solve the problems to make electricity from the up and going tides. More about
Tidal energy!
Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy
can be used for heating houses, and when conditions are optimal ( enough heat) for producing electricity. Geothermal power plant technologies being used to convert hydrothermal fluids to electricity. The conversion technologies are dry steam, flash, and binary cycle.
Hydrogen Fuel
Vehicles are being test-drive or test-flight on this new green energy form "Hydrogen fuel" and hydrogen
Fuel cells: Cars,motorcycle's,buses,aircrafts
To end with...
More and more governments starts to be aware of the importance of supporting the use of green energy, and this also in our homes( solar energy,wind power..). Some governments have drafted specific definitions for renewable energy or similar that may be eligible for subsidies and support for related technologies.
So,all things are changing the good way to support the use of green energy.
This has all to see with the "Fight climate change" movement that is growing. Although the fight is not won yet,it seems to go the right direction..
