Sustainable energy

After reviewing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal on “Affordable and Clean Energy” (United Nations), I have observed that the majority of the targets listed are truly not measurable. By incorporating the words “increase” and “double”, the targets 7.2 and 7.3 appear to be the only two targets which one can use a clear standard unit of comparison. The target 7.1 uses the concept “universal access” as its amount to achieve by 2030. Although, an amount can be given of the number of people who do

Policy brief on sustainable energy/green industry Puerto Rico Purpose section According to United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) the term green industry is defined as an industry that ensures sustainable and viable future with no harm on our environment (UNIDO 2016). In Puerto Rico, manufacturing industry accounts for about 46.3 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This indicates that Puerto Rico is highly dependent on different manufacturing industries for its revenue. Similarly

Can Sustainable Energy and Fossil Fuel Co-Exist? In recent years, the question of America’s power source has been the topic on more than a few dinner and boardroom tables across the country. In fact, it is even talked about in the offices of governors and the POTUS. The reason why so many people are raising this question is the rise in petroleum prices and the depletion of natural resources. The rising prices of petroleum is not a new thing; It has happening for decades, but the American people

Roles of Energy in Sustainable Development Goals Introduction History of sustainable development Sustainable development is the ‘development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generation from meeting their own needs ‘(Brundtland, 1987). This concept has developed more from the intergenerational framework as indicated in the brundtland report to incorporate the three pillars (social, environment and economic) as a whole through series of

generate sustainable energy from renewable resources as he stated in his articles "THE PROBLEM OF INCREASING HUMAN ENERGY" (Century Illustrated Magazine, June 1900) and "OUR FUTURE MOTIVE POWER" (Everyday Science and Mechanics, December 1931) will be shown throughout this essay. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American physicist, inventor, and electrical and mechanical engineer who is best known for his works with electricity and the alternating current (AC). Although his work in the energy industry

Problem Statement Providing sustainable energy to support the growing population of the world has been a debated issue for many years. As prices for oil rise or unsustainable forms of energy become no longer available, the need to provide society with a new form of sustainable energy becomes a necessity. Although energy can be provided by other sustainable means (wind, solar, and water energy), those resources require specific locations to work, for example, a mountain canyon with strong winds

Sustainable Electric Energy in Germany: Can we all be Green? Sustainable Energy Sustainable energy, also known as renewable energy, is energy that can be replaced (Selin, Rafferty, & Pallardy, 2008). It can be made from the sun, the wind, plants and more. Unfortunately, sustainable energy is like a footnote in the global energy plan, which is largely made of up of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are power sources like, oil, gas, coal, these all come from the earth and are in limited supply (i.e. can

Background Energy is the driver of global economic development and prosperity [1]. It fuels the manufacturing processes; it keeps buildings warm or cool, and powers a huge array of electrical appliances from lighting and refrigeration, through to the proliferation of modern consumer electronics [2]. As nations develop and their economies grow, so too does the consumption of resources in general and energy resources in particular. Consequently, the efficient exploitation and development of a nation’s

Michael Luo Mr. Goodman R/W 15 September 2014 Energy issues Personally, when talking about Energy issues, I need to analyze the topic from two aspects, ‘The history of energy’ and ‘Prospective and challenge of the new sustainable energy. The following I will show the relative information in details With the invention of steam engine and the development of technology, humans go into the first industrial revolution, which means going from hand production to machines. During the period of time, England

Water, Energy and Food nexus: A tool for Sustainable Resources Management Background: Introduce the research topic. Place the project in academic or professional context by referring to major works by others on the subject. Water is a very basic element of life: it is needed for everyday activity: domestic, industrial, agricultural and recreational. No life can flourish or even exist without water. Water is essential for all communities: primitive and developed. The higher the development level,
