The fossil fuels, namely, coal, oil, and natural gas have historically been the most common energy resources used to meet our ever increasing energy needs. Despite the availability of newer, more sustainable en
Photovoltaics (PV) is accepted as an important part of any strategy to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. The world's PV capacity passed 100 GW, according to new market figures from the European Photovoltaic Industry Association, which makes a substantial contribution to reducing the world's...
Introduction to Renewable TechnologiesRenewable Technologies are becoming increasingly important as concerns about climate change, the use of fossil fuels, and population growth become foremost in the public eye. So, how do we address the world’s growing concerns about energy sources? Uncover the ...
Fortunately, that won't happen for a few billion years so it's reasonable enough to talk of renewable energy as being unlimited.Fossil fuels versus renewables Different countries get their energy from different fuels. In the Middle East, there's more reliance on oil, as you'd expect, while...
Discover the technology for producing and delivering electricity in this easily accessible introduction to power systems Electric Power Systems underlie virtually every aspect of modern life. In the face of an unprecedented transition from fossil fuels to clean energy, it has never been more essential ...
It also introduces the grand themes of this textbook: providing basics of machine learning and natural language processing, arguing for the importance of augmenting human analytic capabilities with what machine learning has to offer, and introducing the challenges that might occur when applying machine ...
In an era in which the consumption of fossil fuels is a prime topic of concern, few people realize that the oil we currently exploit comes mostly from Cretaceous deposits of marine algae. Moving from ancient times to the present, the algae remain more important than most people realize. ...
Although the global recession that year, combined with the high price of import of fossil fuels (on which Malta is heavily dependent due to lack of explored natural resources), impacted the local economy, the country’s deficit has remained well within the EU’s deficit limits. The key ...
Some of the most interesting opportunities in these sectors involve carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, as well as technologies for shifting from fossil fuels to hydrogen.The risks from these new technologies, combined with capital requirements and the shee...
(biomass) to burn in our power stations instead of fossil fuels. And we can harness the huge reserves of heat trapped inside Earth, known as geothermal energy. Together, these energy sources are known asrenewable energy, because they will last forever (or, at least as long as the Sun ...
