Efficient Energy Source
According to the statistics from International Energy Agency fossil fuels
constitute the primary energy source of the communities around the world,
despite the fact that extraction, processing, and distribution of fossil fuel
have significant negative impact on the environment. According to
International Energy Agency's report in 2010 the main source of energy
consisted of petroleum %32.4, coal %27.3, natural gas %21.4, amounting
to %81.1 share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.
(petroleum %32.4, coal %27.3, natural gas %21.4, bio-fuels and waste
%10, nuclear %5.7, hydro %2.3 and geothermal/solar/heat/wind %0.9).
These statistics are evidence of the fact that the world community are and
will continue to be heavily dependent on the fossil fuel to function. In another
word, we are stuck with them.
However, over the past 20 years, nearly %75 of human-caused emissions
came from the burning of fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuel produces
about 21.3 billion tones of carbon dioxide per year, but only about half of
that amount can be absorbed through natural processes. Carbon dioxide is
one of the greenhouse gasses that contributes to the global warming. Also,
combustion of fossil fuels generates sulfuric, carbonic, and nitric acids,
which fall on earth as acid rains, impacting both natural areas and the
built environment. Fossil fuels also contain radioactive materials, mainly
uranium and thorium, which are released into the atmosphere.
As it was mentioned in the Energy Sustainability section, efficiency is
capability of performing or functioning in the best possible manner with
the least waste of time, material, and energy to produce the desired
result. Energy efficiency refers to use of less energy for provision of the
same service. Something is more energy efficient if it delivers more
services for the same energy input, or the same service for less energy
input. For example, when a compact florescent light (CFL) bulb uses
less energy than an incandescent bulb to produce the same amount of
light, the CFL is considered to be more energy efficient.
Energy efficiency offers a powerful and cost-effective tool for achieving a sustainable energy future. Improvements
in energy efficiency can reduce the need for investment in energy infrastructure, cut energy bills, improve health,
increase competitiveness and enhance consumer welfare. Environmental benefits can also be achieved by the reduction
of greenhouse gases emissions and local air pollution. Energy security can also profit from improved energy efficiency
by decreasing the reliance on imported fossil fuels.
Therefore, to achieve energy supply sustainability and make it green, an overhaul in the way that energy is consumed
is as important as correcting the way it is supplied. As it was stated before, reducing the amount of energy required to
perform tasks is one method of increasing efficiency. But in certain circumstances reducing amount of energy
consumed is not viable or at least reducing it below a certain level is not practical. For instance even energy efficient
light bulbs require a certain amount of electricity to function. An alternative method for increasing energy efficiency in this
circumstances is to increase the amount of work performed for the given amount of energy consumed. For instance, if
consumed energy could instantaneously be recycled and renewed right where is is consumed and be reused to perform
extra work, enhancement in energy efficiency, ensued from the increase in the amount of work completed for the amount
of energy spent, would be a safe claim.
On the other hand, since the negative environmental impact of the recycled energy through our method is negligible,
it also is safe to say that pollution rate through ReNewin energy recycling method is reduced nearly by %50 for any given
amount of energy consumed. And that is a significant step forward in attaining energy supply sustainability and making it green.
Here at Team ReNewin we have achieved just these by recycling fossil fuel energy.
