Photosynthesis and Other Sources of Solar Energy
The sun provides an incredible amount of energy, yet barely exploited. Just to make it clear, plants (biomass) use barely a thousandth of the energy emitted to them by the sun. In this sense, solar power can be considered as being limitless for plants. When talking about energy people seldom make the interconnection between a [...]

Tuesday, February 16, 2010
The strong step taken to urge sustainable energy will practically protect the environment as alternative sources of energy are going to be harnessed. There will be a shift away from over-exploited conventional energy sources. The use of sophisticated technology to produce, transmit and convert electricity will decrease wastage of energy. This is likely going to [...]

Tuesday, February 9, 2010
In search for bio-fuel algae comes to the forefront as an environmental solution. However, algae might not be providing a purely green solution. Yet, it is a very strong source of biomass Algae has a strong advantage over other potential bio-fuel such as soya beans, maize and oilseed rape (canola) as it does not threaten large [...]

Wednesday, February 3, 2010
The greatest restraint for bio-fuel as an alternative source of energy is the land it occupies. However, seaweeds can be planted at sea. Bio-fuel has hardly taken-off the ground due the massive land that it will require. It would produce social and environmental cost as deforestation would be one its hindrances for success. The price of [...]

Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Alternative energy has many connotations and sources. The supply of renewable energy is categorized as an infinite yet in face of oil crisis nuclear energy is considered as one. Environmental or economic May-day conditions should be a viable camouflage to categorise nuclear as a renewable source of energy. It is delusionary to present nuclear [...]

Earth from an aerial view is increasingly having blue roofs. There are those who are taking environmental protection seriously while others are ignoring that they can make a difference. It is a fact that small actions brings along huge changes. Going green is an all-encompassing solution for individuals. There is a broad perspective of benefits [...]

Friday, January 22, 2010
It is tough to determine the ruling source of energy for the future. The use of renewable energy such as solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, wave and tide are at rise. However, in the fight against rising threats of climate change more intriguing technologies such as nuclear fission and fusion energy are at the doorstep. [...]

Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Around the world, biomass as a source of energy is becoming omnipresent. In countries, like Germany with an abundance of wind power along Hamburg to Berlin there is a huge utilization of “biodiesel”. The total consumption of biodiesel per year represents more than 3 percent of its total consumption. Biomass has its origins from the past. [...]

Friday, December 18, 2009
With the price and controversy that comes with conventional power generation, consumers and suppliers both are scrambling to find new methods to produce electricity. One of the less heard about forms of alternative energy is biomass, which is the production of power and current from plant waste, or in certain situations, plants that are raised [...]

Friday, November 20, 2009
When you change organic material into fuel, you are creating biofuels. Biofuels are being used as an alternative form of energy to lessen the need for fossil fuel consumption by our society. Biofuels include using plant derivatives like sugar cane, vegetable and corn oils. Not all of these ethanol mixes are engineered to be used [...]
