What are the types of green energy?
There are few green energy types which includes solar energy, wind
energy, geothermal energy, nuclear energy and hydro energy. Let us
differentiate them to understand their distinction.
1. Solar energy – It is a form of green energy that has been
harnessed by humans since ancient times. This kind of energy uses the
radiant light and heat from the sun. This kind of energy is being used
today most especially from small island that doesn't have electricity
yet.
2. Wind Energy – This kind of energy form is a conversion of
wind energy into a useful form of energy. There are cities in different
countries that use this kind of form of energy in order to sustain their
energy need. Wind energy uses wind turbines to make electricity, wind mills for mechanical power, wind pumps for pumping water or drainage or sails to propel ships etc…
3. Geothermal Energy – Geothermal, from its root words geo
which means earth and thermos which means heat is thermal energy stored
in the earth. Geothermal energy is a kind of energy source that
determines the temperature of matter. The Geothermal energy of the earth
originates from the original formation of the planet; it comes from the
radioactivity decay of minerals, from volcanic activity, and from solar
energy absorbed at the surface.
4. Nuclear Energy – This kind of energy is produces by
controlled non expensive nuclear reactions. Commercial and utility
plants currently use nuclear fission reactions to heat water to produce
steam which is then used to generate electricity.
5. Hydro Energy – Hydro energy or what others call
hydroelectricity is the term referring to electricity generated by
hydropower. The production of electrical power through the use of
gravitational force of falling or falling water. It is the most widely
used form of green energy.
The ultimate goal of green energy is by and large create energy with
as little as pollution as possible produced as a by-product. We cannot
deny that every form of energy collection will result in some pollution
or destruction to the atmosphere or environment. Nevertheless, green
form of energy are well known for contributing less negative impact than
those other form of energy.
What is the purpose of Green energy?
We all know that aside from air that we need in order to live, energy
is something that this world should not run out in order to continue
its every advance. This planet is incessantly being destructed by human
without them knowing it for the longer time. Greenhouse gases, an
example of a by-product of traditional sources of energy such as fossil
fuels are thought to be causing the frightening global warming. It is
incontestable that mother earth is heating up in a hasten pace which is
why the demand for green energy sources are implausibly growing.
What are the other sources of green energy?
Aside from solar, wind nuclear, hydro and geothermal form of energy, a green energy
source can be a building that is designed in a way that it keeps itself
cool in the daytime in order to conserve electricity. This kind of
architecture or building design will let you have a fine temperature at
daytime and heated in the night through its architecture rather than
having air-conditioning or heating system. The conservation of energy
through architectural design becomes itself a source of green energy.
Likewise there is another way for to conserve energy, for example a
community or small town can be covered with solar panels for the purpose
of collecting energy to be used for generating energy. There are
problems that we are facing regarding energy concerns and it is good to
know that there are alternatives that we can use that produces less
negative effect to the environment. I was quite amaze by the fact the
energy can be derived from these given God's grandeur and just recently I
have stumbles upon another form of green energy: the waste to green energy.
Waste to Green energy: What is it?
Waste to green energy is a form of green energy source that derived
from garbage. How is it possible? With the technology called biosphere,
garbage is being converted to energy through a process that harnesses
the combustibility of waste to create a heat source that produce an
extremely hot stream that will then generate green energy.
We are all aware that waste is one of the foremost problems that we
have. It is one cause of multiple illnesses and catastrophes that we
continuously countenance. Land depletion is the number one problem that
we encounter because of landfills for hoarding waste which is why this
type of green energy source is something that shouldn't be ostracized.
One Goal of Green energy or green technology is to take obtainable fossil fuel energy technology
and clean it up by focusing alternative form of energy that is greener
and cleaner. The success of each type of energy depends upon the
aptitude to take out damaging by-products from fossil fuels while not
only being energy efficient but by being able to produce cost efficient green energy that doesn't compromise environmental conservation.
