The main purposes served by using renewable energy are many such as generation of power

University of Massachusetts Boston prides itself on its accomplishments when it comes to sustainability. The school is built on a landfill site and sustainability has been integrated as a guiding principle in the development of the university (1). Green design has been integrated into the development of the university’s campus center building as well as the new buildings being constructed and renovations being done following the master plan. UMBe Green is the university’s sustainability program which centers

Modern lifestyle is completely dependent on reliable energy supply. We cannot imagine world, its further development and constant economic growth without security of energy supply. But new reserves of fossil fuels are becoming more difficult to find, what makes energy industry to invest in and use unconventional resources such as shale gas and oil sands. Prices of oil, gas and energy itself will get higher but the demand of energy does not seem to decrease. What is more, the European Union hence

and modern energy services: This target directly addresses the global issue with energy access to the poor, while also emphasizing the need to make global energy production to safer and more advanced. This includes the need to diversify the sources of energy services so that the dependency on specific harmful sources of energy, such as, coal, natural gas, or oil, is reduced. 7.2 Increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix: Although non-renewable energy sources provide

base for realizing a variety of functions and management objectives, such as energy efficiency development, operation cost reduction, demand and supply balance, emission control, and utility maximization. A common surface understanding about Smart Grid is that only the energy, information and communication infrastructure underlying the Smart Grid is smart. This is not true. The more accurate assessment is: With the development of new management applications and services that can leverage the technology
