Energy Pollution
Almost all energy production and use involves some form of pollution of our environment. Each different source of energy, from fossil fuels to nuclear, pollutes in a different way and to a different degree. Just how much pollution and what type of pollution is acceptable and which source of energy should be used has generated a lot of controversy.
If you drive by a nuclear power plant, you might see the huge cooling towers that are required
to cool the hot reactor. The water from these cooling towers contains excess heat energy and is
released into the local rivers or lakes. The warmer temperatures that are created allow organisms
that would not normally thrive to grow and kill off some of the previous inhabitants.

Key Benefits
Renewable energy is energy which can be replenished at the same rate it is used. Renewable energy sources contribute approximately 25% of human energy use worldwide. The prime source of renewable energy is solar radiation, i.e. sunlight. The Earth-Atmosphere system supports approximately 5.4 x 1024 joules per year in the solar radiation cycle (Sorensen, 2004).
Mankind's traditional uses of wind, water, and solar power are widespread in developed and developing countries; but the mass production of electricity using renewable energy sources has become popular only recently, reflecting the major threats of climate change due to pollution, concerns about the exhaustion of fossil fuels, and the environmental, social and political risks of fossil fuels and nuclear power.
Projects We Are Looking For:
"Solar energy"
In this context, "solar energy" refers to energy that is directly collected from sunlight. However, most fossil and renewable energy sources are ultimately derived from "solar energy," so some ascribe much broader meanings to the term.
Solar energy can be applied in many ways, including to:
- generate electricity using photovoltaic solar cells
- generate electricity using Space Solar Power Satellite in geostationary orbit and beaming it down via microwaves
- generate electricity using concentrated solar power
- generate electricity by heating trapped air which rotates turbines in a Solar updraft tower.
- heat buildings, directly. Careful positioning of windows and use of brises soleil can maximise inflow of light at the times it is most needed, heating the building while preventing overheating during midday and summer.
- heat foodstuffs, through solar ovens.
"Wind power"
Wind power is the world's fastest growing electricity generation technology. Wind is a renewable resource because it is inexhaustible. It is a result of the sun shining unevenly on the earth. The corresponding daily and seasonal changes in temperature consistently generate wind, producing a fuel source that can never be depleted.
State-of-the-art wind power plants use large spinning blades to capture the kinetic energy in moving wind, which then is transferred to rotors that produce electricity. At the best wind fuel sites, wind plants today are nearly competitive with the conventional natural gas-fired combined-cycle plants -- even when natural gas prices have recently been at historically low levels. Regions where average wind speeds exceed 12 miles per hour are currently the best wind power plant sites.
Wind plants produce no air pollution. They use no water, and there is no need to tear up the land to extract the wind resource that produces wind power. Nonetheless, there may be environmental problems associated with some wind plants.
"Biofuel"
Biofuel is any fuel that derives from biomass, including living organisms or their metabolic byproducts, such as cow manure. Typically biofuel is burned to release its stored chemical energy. Research into more efficient methods of converting biofuels and other fuels into electricity utilizing fuel cells is an area of very active work. Biomass, also known as biomatter, can be used directly as fuel or to produce liquid biofuel. Agriculturally produced biomass fuels, such as biodiesel, ethanol and bagasse (often a by-product of sugar cane cultivation) can be burned in internal combustion engines or boilers.
Biogas is a biofuel produced through the intermediary stage of anaerobic digestion. Biogas consists mainly (45–90%) biologically produced methane.
