Renewal energy resources and its role in environment control c

Renewal energy resources and its role in environment control 

   Renewable energy generation, such as solar, wind, and hydropower, plays a crucial role in reducing reliance on fossil fuels for electricity. By utilizing these clean energy sources, we can minimize greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change, while also saving fossil fuel resources. 
 
   Detailed look is as under:
1) Renewable Energy Sources:-
a) Solar Energy:-
       Converts sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells or solar thermal systems according to the Department of Energy. 
b)Wind Energy:-
    Uses wind turbines to convert kinetic energy into electricity, with wind power being a significant source of renewable energy according to the National Geographic Society. 
c) Hydropower:-
    Harnesses the power of moving water to generate electricity, with hydroelectric dams being a major source. 
d) Biomass:-
    Uses organic matter like wood, crops, and waste to generate electricity through combustion or gasification according to the National Geographic Society. 
e) Geothermal:-
    Utilizes heat from the Earth's core to generate steam and electricity, tapping into a constant energy source according to the Department of Energy. 
f) Other Energy resources:-
    Includes tidal and wave energy, which utilize the ocean's movement to generate electricity according to the National Geographic Society. 
2) Benefits of Renewable Energy:-
    a) Reduced greenhouse gas emissions:-
   Renewable sources produce significantly fewer emissions compared to fossil fuels, helping to combat climate change. 
    b) Reduced air pollution:-
   Lower emissions lead to cleaner air and improved public health. 
    c) Cost savings:-
    Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly cost-competitive with fossil fuels, offering long-term savings. 
    D) Energy independence:
    Renewable energy sources can reduce reliance on fossil fuel imports, enhancing energy security according to the Department of Energy. 
    E) Job creation:-
    The renewable energy sector generates numerous jobs in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance. 
3. Saving Fossil Fuels:-
      By transitioning to renewable energy sources, we can reduce the demand for fossil fuels, conserving these finite resources for future generations. 
Reducing the reliance on fossil fuels also minimizes the environmental impact associated with their extraction and combustion, such as habitat destruction and air pollution. 
    The shift to renewables can also help stabilize energy prices, as fossil fuel prices fluctuate due to geopolitical and economic factors. 
4. Examples of Renewable Energy Implementation:-
   Solar power plants:-
    Large-scale solar farms generate electricity from solar panels, with increasing adoption rates in various countries. 
    Wind farms:-
    Wind turbines are deployed in areas with high wind resources to generate electricity. 
    Hydroelectric dams:-
   Dams are constructed to harness the power of flowing water, generating electricity and providing other benefits like flood control according to the National Geographic Society. 
   Biomass power plants:-
    Utilize organic matter for electricity generation, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels according to the National Geographic Society. 
   
    In conclusion, transitioning to renewable energy sources is essential for a sustainable and environmentally responsible energy future. 
   By embracing renewable energy, we can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, mitigate climate change, and pave the way for a cleaner and healthier planet .
    India's net renewable energy generation has seen significant growth, with renewable sources contributing a substantial portion of the country's total electricity capacity. 
   As of October 2024, Renewable energy capacity accounts for 46.3% of the total installed capacity, reaching 203.18 GW out of a total of 452.69 GW. 
  
1) Solar Power: The largest contributor, with 92.12 GW installed capacity
2) Wind Power: A significant source, with 47.72 GW installed capacity.
3) Hydro Power: Large hydro projects contribute 46.93 GW, and small hydro adds 5.07 GW.
4)Biomass and Biogas: These contribute 11.32 GW.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan     Japan has developed a technology that allows houses to literally lift off the ground during earthquakes, protecting them from damage.    This is achieved using a system of compressed air and sensors that inflate an airbag under the house, lifting it a few centimeters during tremors. The house then gently settles back down when the shaking stops.      Japan has developed innovative earthquake-resistant technology that allows houses to lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage. This is achieved through systems like the one developed by Air Danshin, which uses compressed air to lift houses on airbags. When sensors detect tremors, the airbag inflates, raising the house a few centimeters and preventing it from shaking violently with the ground.    More detailed explanation: Airbag Technology:- Air Danshin has pioneered the use of large airbags placed b...
