Energy Conservation
Where do you see areas for energy conservation?
Net energy: Energy given versus energy used
Active Solar Heating System
Passive Solar System: All about structure, and position
Photovoltaic cell (solar cell, collector)
Windfarm
Geothermal Energy
Hydroelectric Power PlantHydropower
Fissionable Isotope
Critical mass
Hazards: Meltdown (China
syndrome), storage, radiation
Nuclear change with energy
release
Nuclear Fusion: Ohhh the potential
Biofuel
Problem: More CO2 footprint used to develop the fuel, competition for food
Liquid Natural Gas
Why: Easier storage and mobility, slightly less volatile
Coal Gasification
Cleaner fuel
Cogeneration
Combined heat and power
Synfuel
NOT made from crude oil
Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG)Gas from coal
Crude Oil
Hydrocarbon with a lot of energy available in it for combustion and plastics
May be harmful to your health
Coal uses
Bitument and Oil Sand
Oil Sand
Oil Shale and Kerogen
