Introduction

Certain factors such as the need to conserve environmental purity as well as the increasing pressure on fossil fuels have prompted the increased use of alternative sources of fuel, renewable energy to be precise. Renewable energy has been cited as not only cheap to exploit but also the most environmentally friendly sources of energy due to the reduced instances of environmental pollution associated with such energy (Pasqualetti 204). Solar energy, for instance, has been largely exploited globally due to its free availability, especially along the tropics where it is abundant throughout the year. Despite the increased preference of solar ...

Designing an Environmentally Sustainable Shipping Container in Kuwait

Introduction Constructing a structure that is to be used for a specific purpose can be considered as a major process, and therefore it needs careful planning and design; otherwise, it will not be to carry out the functions for which it was made for in the first place. Hence, the design phase is one of the most crucial stages of the entire construction process. When designing a structure or structure, there are certain factors that should be taken into consideration such as the budget, the location, the purpose, and its effects on its immediate environment. The interaction of these ...

Global Warming Phenomenon

The issue of global warming has been a critical problem across the entire world due to the effects associated with this condition. Global warming is caused by the increase in Earth's temperatures due to the effect of greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emitted from burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas to provide energy are responsible for trapping heat and preventing it from escaping from the Earth’s atmosphere. Human activities like cutting down trees and burning forests for farming activities has been attributed to the emission of greenhouse gases that are ...

A Fossil fuel power station is a plant location where fossil fuels are burned producing electricity. Such fossil fuels include petroleum, natural gas, and coal. There are power plants which are designed for continuous operations for large scale purposes called central station fossil fuel power plants. Fossil fuel plants in many countries are used in the provision of electricity. They have machines for conversion of heat energy from combustion of fossil fuels into mechanical energy that operates an electrical generator producing electric currents (Camus et al. 154). The Samso Island is planning to exhaust the application of fossil fuels ...

Results and Discussions

Introduction

Modern technological trends are moving towards the application of sustainable energy resources. Sustainable energy is that which is balanced on the lines of consumption and supply (Berndes, 2003). Concerning this, the utilization of such energy sources promotes the maintenance of controllable collateral implications. Sustainable energy leads to insignificant levels of environmental degradation. Additionally, the sustainability of energy resources can be understood according to their longevity. Such sources are deemed to fulfill the needs of the present while guaranteeing their progressive benefits into the future. Sustainable development has become a mainstream topic that is addressed in various forums globally. Hitherto, ...

It used to be so easy. For tens of thousands of years, humans used wood-burning fire to heat their dwellings, to cook their food, to forge simple tools. Tens of thousands of years before that, human’s ancestors harnessed the power of fire, giving them a hunting advantage over other animals. Then, the population started to increase, especially after the Plague had ravaged much of the world’s population. Wood became scarce, especially in places of dense population, such as England. The increasing rarity of the resource made the demand for another source of energy greater than the demand ...

Introduction

Geothermal energy refers to natural heat stored underground beneath the earth’s crust. On the ground surface the energy is evident in form of hot and altered ground, hot springs and fumaroles. The energy is tapped by sinking geothermal wells underground. The high temperature and pressure fluid is extracted and through carefully built wells and designed network of pipes and channels the hot steam to the plant turbine to generate electricity. The steam and water are extracted at very high pressure and temperature. The application of geothermal energy has gained popularity globally because of its environmental friendliness. There are ...
