GC: n CT: The population problem isn’t just a matter of the number of people. People consume food, fresh water, wood, minerals, and energy as we go about our daily lives. And producing food, pumping groundwater, harvesting wood, mining minerals, and burning fuel all deplete our resource base and produce

GC: n CT: Energy crops are grown specifically for use as fuel and offer high output per hectare with low inputs. Research into which strains perform best under UK conditions and typical outputs expected for different UK sites has been performed on a number of potential energy crops. S: BEC

GC: n CT: Energy density and the cost, weight, and size of onboard energy storage are important characteristics of fuels for transportation. Fuels that require large, heavy or expensive storage can reduce the space available to convey people and freight, weigh down a vehicle (making it operate less efficiently), or

GC: n CT: Over recent years, EU economies have been exposed to energy price increases leading to adverse effects on consumers and industries. Some economies have also been confronted with disruptions to gas supply, affecting gas-dependent industrial activities and households. Arguably, the EU economy will continue to be exposed to

GC: n CT: Energy efficiency is “using less energy to provide the same service”. There are other definitions, but this is a good operational one. The best way to understand this idea is through examples: When you replace a single pane window in your house with an energy-efficient one, the

GC: n CT: To meet its energy needs, each country uses the energy available to it in differing proportions. This is what we call the energy mix. Since the 19th century, the energy sources used to meet global demand have been mostly fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). These

GC: n CT: The energy pile, also called heat exchanger pile, is a pile equipped with individual or several pipe circuits in order to enable exchange of heat with the surrounding soil. The function of energy piles is dual. The first function consists of transferring load from a construction into

GC: n CT: The rising cost of the energy bill brings additional pressure to household budgets’. As a result, some European households are spending a higher share of their budget on domestic energy services. Bearing the rising cost of the energy bill is particularly hard for low-income households, who may,

GC: n CT: At present there are four important energy resources: petroleum, coal, natural gas, and uranium-235. In the future oil shale and uranium-238 will probably join this list. On the demand side, the model specifies five demand categories: electricity, industrial heat, residential heat, and two transport categories.

GC: n CT: This analysis reviews and synthesizes the literature on the net energy return for electric power generation by wind turbines. Energy return on investment (EROI) is the ratio of energy delivered to energy costs. We examine 119 wind turbines from 50 different analyses, ranging in publication date from

GC: n CT: Energy saving is an important issue to both the environment and the economy. As most of us are using computers and their associated peripherals, such as monitors and printers, we can all contribute to saving energy by turning on their energy saving features. This will save a

GC: n CT: Which Energy Source is Best? It depends. Many alternative sources of energy are still being researched and tested. Technologies are continually being developed and enhanced to improve energy sources. Not all energies are ready for mass consumption, so you have to ask the right questions to find

GC: n CT: Energy storage — a key technology for global energy sustainability. The quality of life today is dependent upon access to a bountiful supply of cheap energy. For a sustainable future, the energy should be derived from non-fossil sources; ideally, it should also be reliable and safe, flexible

CG: n CT: Energy transition refers to the global energy sector’s shift from fossil-based systems of energy production and consumption — including oil, natural gas and coal — to renewable energy sources like wind and solar, as well as lithium-ion batteries. The increasing penetration of renewable energy into the energy

GC: n CT: Before its use in a reactor, uranium must undergo four processing steps to convert it from an ore to solid ceramic fuel pellets. These processes are: mining and milling, conversion, enrichment and fabrication. Mining and Milling Uranium miners use several techniques to obtain uranium: surface (open pit),

GC: n CT: Thermodynamics is a branch of physics which deals with the energy and work of a system. Thermodynamics deals only with the large scale response of a system which we can observe and measure in experiments. In aerodynamics, we are most interested in thermodynamics in the study of

GC: n CT: The government is working to protect our environment by reducing pollution, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill, protecting areas of parkland, wildlife reserves and marine biodiversity, and enforcing regulations that kecep our water and air clean. We also help communities avoid or recover from flooding

GC: n CT: According to some EPA guidelines due to the importance of accurate cost information in making the decisions sketched out above, the term “environmental cost” has been introduced into the vocabulary of environmental managers. Today we are starting a series of posts related to the definition(s) and the

GC: n CT: Environmental Impact Assessment. One of the EPA’s key roles is to provide Government with advice on the environmental acceptability of development proposals and statutory planning schemes. Development proposals include proposals for mining, industry as well as infrastructure such as ports, railways and pipelines. Planning schemes include both

GC: n CT: Although some researchers believe that environmental sensitivities may have strictly psychological origins, a 1994 review of psychological studies found methodological and logical problems in the then current psychological research. Environmental sensitivity reactions to inhalation challenges may mimic panic disorder, which is classified as a psychiatric condition. However,

GC: n CT: Environmental sustainability involves making decisions and taking action that are in the interests of protecting the natural world, with particular emphasis on preserving the capability of the environment to support human life. It is an important topic at the present time, as people are realising the full
