The UK government had made concerted efforts over the years in developing a definite course of action for the Renewable energy industry in the UK in light of changing conditions of the industry. This was done in order to guide and determine the conditions of engagement while proposing future directions and decisions. The intentions of these high level overall plans were to provide clear goals for the relevant stakeholders including, regulators, generators, suppliers and consumers.
(c) Clients can replicate these processes at home, by creating Hydroponic Greenhouse Gardens, and providing fruits and vegetable for their families. Also by hooking their home power grid to renewable energy sources, they can reduce their dependency on fossil fuels.
This is my placement report which will talk about my year long industrial placement as a full time employee at the Midlands and Lancashire commissioning support unit as part of my course of study on the BSc Hons Computer Science. During the report I will introduce the company and share some background information in regards to what the company is all about. This report will mainly revolve around my placement position at the Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning support unit and the work I have been involved with during my time at the company. In relation I will report about the training and work experienced I gained as a computing professional and how this industrial placement proved to be an priceless experience as it enabled me to become a more proficient individual and computing professional
My individual seminar paper is written on EDF Energy. This is one of UK’s largest energy companies and its large producer of low carbon electricity. They generate around one fifth of the UK’s electricity. They supply electricity and gas to around 5.5 million residential and business customers, making them the biggest supplier of electricity by volume.
It has recently come to light that Glasgow and the West of Scotland have been using a great deal of our earth’s precious finite resources. To combat this we must take advantage of our valuable surroundings and look for long term replacements such as solar, wind and tidal power as well as geothermal and hydroelectric sources. In the interest of our planets wellbeing and our country’s economy, the engineers at SECC have created the following report. Our aim is to help you realise the potential of these alternative sources and push for them to replace the power plants burning through our finite resources.

Through investigating whether Radcliffe on Trent could go ‘of the grid’, the economic, environmental and social aspects will be considered. Each topic will be looked at in turn with reference to a variety of sources. In the paper the technology available will be looked at individually without considering individual properties and ways they will be able to make their properties more energy efficient. It also only considers domestic properties, excluding commercial and public buildings as well as street lighting etc.

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.

Green building encompasses everything from the choice of building materials to where a building is located. At the moment Gallagher’s are finding that converting roofs so that solar energy panels can be installed requires operatives with skill and experience levels that are above the average, they are dealing with this by advertising for people with those particular skill sets.
According to the Bid Manger, at the outset consortium members reviewed the “Local Authority Requirement" and decided on the strategies to meet them. For sustainability, the decision was to achieve BREEAM “Excellent” on the new-built projects, and “Very good” on the refurbishment. The consortium also decided to exceed the authority’s planning requirements of 10% renewable energy generation. Two biomass boilers were installed on the two new-built PFI projects which provided around 98% of their heating requirement. The team was, therefore, able to achieve 24% renewable energy generation across the estate. The team also introduced further improvements to the buildings insulation and achieved
Energy, especially from fossil fuels, is a key ingredient for all sectors of a modern economy and plays a fundamental role in improving the quality of life in less developed economies. In 2007, India is ranked fifth in the world in terms of energy demand; accounting for 3.6% of total energy consumed, and is expected to grow at 4.8% in the future. India imports 70% of the oil it uses, and the country has been hit
