demonstrated to increase the temperature in the atmosphere and accelerate global warming. As gas prices steadily rise, people need a newer, cleaner source of energy. The alternatives are numerous and would be beneficial to the well being of the whole world. The human race must replace its fossil fuel use with renewable resources in order to
manufacturing to distribution. This strategy is driven by the ultimate goal of lowering manufacturing costs and costs of goods sold, thereby assuring the business’ sustainability, as Tesla’s core mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. This report will review and brief on the Tesla accordingly (i) innovative business model, (ii)critical success factors,(iii) Chemistry of innovation and (iv) innovation towards value configuration related to the EV’s.

The world has relied on the same sources of fuels and delivery systems for at least the past one hundred years. Since the turn of the Industrial Revolution, the world has been dependent on coal, oil, and other natural resources. These sources of fuel have worked fine for the world, until now. At the rate it that these fuels are used the world may one day run out of these precious resources. Our society must prepare now to utilize an alternate source for its fuel. The longer the world waits, the
Biofuels: Ethanol an Alternative Energy Source Abstract In today's society, when someone wants to go to the movies, work, school, library, or mall, they drive to their destination. The average amount of gasoline consumed per year is about 146 gallons in the U.S. (Biofuels for Transportation, p1). Discoveries of huge petroleum deposits kept gasoline cheap for decades and biofuels were forgotten (Leen, p1). However, with the recent oil prices, along with growing concern of global warming caused
Geothermal Energy Introduction The useful and super eco-friendly, and environmentally safe (for the most part), form of energy that is called Geothermal Energy has been used for thousands of years. The definition for Geothermal is “earth heat” so it is literally the heat naturally created by the earth that humans and other species have discovered to use to their advantage. The earliest known uses are located in china and are based since the 3rd century B.C. although at that time the energy was just
of attention to coating technology in the past 10 years. Solar energy is considered the future of alternative energy sources. It has been recognized as one of the most widely used renewable sources of energy in the few recent years for its non-polluting characteristics which combats the Greenhouse effect on global climate created by the use of fossil fuels, figure 1.6. The generation of solar power is done by converting the solar energy into electricity by using either photo-voltaic (PV) solar cells
Providing Alternative Energy and Gas Sources Off-site storage facilities, backup generators and LP gas can help any restaurant deal with service interruptions with minimal consequences. Enlisting Insurers as Business Partners Too many restaurant owners view insurance as a necessary evil instead of a business-building financial partnership, but I want to reassure you that the right insurance coverage can keep your business afloat in a sea of turbulent circumstances. The largest companies--including
anthracite is metamorphic. Anthracite is only found where pressure and heat were very great. It doesn’t produce as much heat as bituminous coal, but it burns longer without as much residue. There are anthracite fields in Pennsylvania and Great Britain (U.S Energy Information Administration). The formation of the other two fossil fuels (crude oil and natural gas) took millions of years just like coal. Oil and gas come from the remains of small animals and plants. Long ago, when the animals and plants died
The Alternative Energy Source to Oil Introduction 1.0 “Renewable Energy” is the term used to describe those energy flows that occur naturally and repeatedly in the environment, e.g. from the sun, wind and the oceans, and from plants and the fall of water. It also refers to the energy available from wastes and to the emerging clean technology of fuel cells. There are wide ranges of renewable energy sources/technologies, varying in technical and commercial viability. These include:
1 Introduction All the vehicle OEM 's are making a major effort to improve fuel consumption and reduce tailpipe CO2 emissions. One of the most common application for reducing tailpipe CO2 is using alternative energy sources than gasoline and diesel [1]. In accordance, this paper aims to present an outline design for a PHEV version of the Ford Focus family hatchback for the UK Market. 1.1 Manufacturer’s Corporate Position As quoted in official company page, Ford’s blueprint for sustainability goes
