Germany Will Continue Lead The Revolution Carbon Emission Reduction

Industries and Electrical generation are estimated to produce “a little over 50%” of greenhouse emissions, making it the biggest problem (Petterson

Though humanity still has developed industrial systems, there have been laws and social norms put in place to protect the environment. Odum discusses fuel-powered systems in industrial areas, “they require so much energy and create so much waste heat and pollution, that they have an enormous impact on the other two environments.” In 1993, this was true since the primary use of energy was coal, oil, natural gas, all carbon emitting energy sources. However, countries like China, Germany, the United States have reduced the emission coming from these fuel-powered systems in the past 25 years. There are now other options for environmentally clean power, people are recycling their trash, using less water, and cutting back energy usage.

On the same note, the energy revolution spoken of above brings forth another advance in the ongoing global climate situation. The nature of the Kyoto Protocol calls for nations to increase research and eventually semi-convert their energy usage to accommodate for cleaner energy. Products such as solar power, wind power, biomass, geothermal power, and hydropower are now widely being studying to create processes that use less coal, oil, and natural gas in production. Altogether the results have

Renewable energy has currently become a significant aspect in the countries generation, combination, and a constitution focus of government policy for energy, and environmental protection. As a result of public’s growing responsibility for the environment and constantly binding rules, and regulations of emission in the electric power industry, government has facilitated policies to boost the amount of renewable energy in the electricity generation portfolio. Additionally, the generation of electricity from renewable resources creates insufficient, and frequently, zero emissions of pollutants that comes from traditional fossil fuel production technologies. The additional use of renewable energy aids utilities in their emission agreement obligations. Furthermore, the anticipation of agreement with any future carbon emissions management would further toughen the incentive to move towards cleaner electricity creating technologies (Langwith, 2009).

There are about three universally used fuel sources for energy around the world which are: coal, oil, and natural gas. There has been a global increase in energy consumption throughout the world. Energy consumption is a topic that will impact the world. Greenhouse gasses are gasses that trap heat in the atmosphere, in turn, releasing carbon dioxide. This essay will discuss the common fuel sources, emissions, and total energy consumption by the United States and Brazil.

The purpose of the following blog post is to introduce the reader to the relationship between our global Economy, the Energy that we produce and the Environment we are part of, also known as the three Es. My goal is to give my readers a better understanding of the connections these three different areas have and how they relate to one another. Furthermore I would like to enable readers to comprehend the increasing challenges all three E’s are facing, and the implications these may have on our future.

The discussions surrounding climate change have been given significance in the recent decade, owing to the drastic changes in climate patterns as well as the realization of the reality of climate change in various nations. Around the globe, countries are responding to the climate question using various policies aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change as well as reducing the causal effects of the shifts in climate. Various nations have put in place policies that are continuously analyzed to determine their impacts on the management of the changes that are arising from climate shifts. In this article, two countries will be keenly analyzed; the United States of America and Germany. This paper seeks to determine their existing policies in each country with regards to climate, as well as explain the differences or similarities in the policy areas. Comparisons will also be made of the two nation’s policies, and a subsequent evaluation carried out. Various reports and journal articles which provide analysis of the two nations’ policies will be analyzed.

“Germany’s energy poverty: how electricity became a luxury good” by SPIEGEL Staff is about how electricity in Germany has become more expensive than the consumer can afford. Germany expansion of wind and solar power has come with a hefty price tag for consumers and it’s negatively impacting the poor. German consumers are paying the highest electricity prices in Europe. The government is failing to get the costs of its energy policies under control, thus leading to increases in prices. After the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan two and a half years ago, Chancellor Merkel quickly decided to begin phasing out nuclear power and lead the country into the age of wind and solar (SPIEGEL Staff, 1). The Germans are now realizing that this policy is not working and it is affecting the relationship between the public and the government. In the near future, an average three person will spend about 90 euro a month for electricity that is twice as much as in 2000. Two-third of the prices increase due to new government fees. The reason why most people are very upset with the policies and the rising prices is mainly because the government pensions and social welfare payments have not been adjusted. This is making it hard for them to

Germany has been an economic power house for decades, ever since the German reunification, the country has become an active member in several influential intergovernmental organizations, such as European Union (EU) and United Nations (UN). As a highly developed country, it upholds a universal health care system, tuition-free higher education, and most importantly, a well-established environmental protection program. The Energiewende, or the Energy transition, is a sophisticated long term plan that hopes to minimize the usage of coal and other non-renewable energy by the end of 2050. The plan began in 1990 and the country has made constant progress ever since. While renewable energy technologies develop and Germany continues to dominate the world as an innovative green leader, new problems also arises. However, with the help of its well-developed laws and the cooperation of various sectors involved, it is likely that Germany is able to remain a powerful green leader and complete its energy transition by the year 2050.

Environmental problems are controversial topic that is increasingly gaining more recognition.. There are many environmental issues in the world today, most of which are caused by anthropogenic effects meaning the influence or impact humans have on the world. Global warming is one of the majors issues. Global warming is the increase of the average global temperature due to the increasing amount of greenhouse gasses being trapped in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gasses are emission of carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels and also, deforestation. In this essay, I will talk about global warming with goes with climate change, and our ecological footprint, such as energy usage from the three main sociological perspectives.

The most of global energy production produces from fossil fuel such as coal, oil and natural gas. The vast fossil fuels generate energy which use for many purposes for instant residential, transportation and industrial sectors. While the rate consumption of fossil fuel higher than their formation leads to oil price crisis. Another concern of fossil fuel combustion is the impact on the environment. Global warming is a significant problem which results in increasing concentrations of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. These problems drive researchers and societies to search alternative energy such as switching to renewable energy or carbon-free energy to replace fossil fuels. For example Nakata et al., (2011:465) show ‘low-carbon society’

So, This Master course offers everything I need to become an expert in Energy and sustainable development .The program is taught through collaboration between academics with world-class expertise in diverse aspects of sustainable development and gives students an opportunity to learn about a wide range of problems in Energy and sustainable development and their application. Furthermore, the outline of this program provides a balance between technical issues and technologies uses for applying sustainability management development besides addressing cultural and sociable factors in relation with polices framework. In my university years, I was active in the activities that in relation with society matter. So, the environmental matters and raising awareness about this issue were considered as goals of our activities at my Faculty. Therefore, I have learnt the basics of Environmental matters and society challenges in relation with Energy and environment Challenges along with skills to review and measure the challenges. I was involved in some experience that related to make green environment such as participation in planting tree to combat desertification that is consider one of the big challenges in my hometown city Ghat which located in the heart of the desert in the South West of Libya. Furthermore, the problem of conventional energy, especially of cut off the electricity power during summer time was the real motivation to think

Another key task is the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions since the energy transfer to renewable and clean energy sources will help to get rid of emissions from power plants based on coal and natural gas. In Germany, 30 % of CO2 emissions accounted for the production of electricity (Energiewende 27). According to the Chairman of the Expert Council on Ecology, Martin Faulstich, Germany can achieve a full transition to renewable energy sources (i. e. rejection of nuclear power, oil, gas, and coal) by 2050. In accordance with his words, the plan is feasible from a financial point of view, and in the long term this strategy is economically more profitable. The program of energy sector modernization in Germany, which provides that the share of renewable energy, including biogas, geothermal, hydroelectric, wind, and solar

Energy Plan (CEP), which targets the year 2030 to have cut carbon dioxide emissions by thirty-two
