Carbon Sequestration by hamiel.3 — last modified 2007-08-29 14:07

As defined by the U.S. Department of Energy, carbon sequestration is one of the most promising ways for reducing the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In fact, even under the most optimistic scenarios for energy efficiency gains and the greater use of low- or no-carbon fuels, sequestration will likely be essential if the world is to stabilize atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases at acceptable levels.

Solar Energy by hamiel.3 — last modified 2007-08-17 11:43

Solar energy is a source of energy that uses radiation emitted by the sun. It is a renewable energy source that has been used in many traditional technologies for centuries. It is also in widespread use where other power supplies are absent, such as in remote locations and in space. Solar energy is currently used in a number of applications: heat , electricity generation, transportation, desalination of seawater, photosynthesis by plants

Wind Energy by hamiel.3 — last modified 2007-08-28 15:51

Wind is a renewable energy source that emits no pollution. It is the fastest-growing "green" energy in the U.S. and provides light to the Statue of Liberty. Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into more useful forms, usually electricity, using wind turbines. Most modern wind power is generated in the form of electricity by converting the rotation of turbine blades into electrical current by means of an electrical generator. Wind farms—clusters of huge windmills—produce electricity by using the motion of their blades to spin a shaft connected to a generator. Experts estimate that the electricity created in 2006 by America's wind farms will displace some 15 million tons of carbon dioxide. Over five million acres of forest would be needed to absorb that much CO2. Some people oppose wind farms because they occupy large tracts of land and can sometimes harm birds, but most agree that their environmental costs are much lower than those of fossil fuels.

Biomass by hamiel.3 — last modified 2007-08-28 14:42

Biomass, in the energy production industry, refers to living and recently dead biological material which can be used as fuel or for industrial production. Most commonly, biomass refers to plant matter grown for use as biofuel, but it also includes plant or animal matter used for production of fibres, chemicals or heat. Biomass may also include biodegradable wastes that can be burnt as fuel. It excludes organic material which has been transformed by geological processes into substances such as coal or petroleum.
