The document defines and describes different types of energy, including electric, light, mechanical, thermal, eolic, solar, nuclear, potential, kinetic, chemical, hydraulic, sonorous, radiant, reaction, ionic, geothermic, mareomotriz, magnetic, and metabolic energy. It provides brief descriptions of each type of energy, explaining what it is and how it is produced or stored.
Geothermic energy uses heat from the earth to generate renewable energy. It works by tapping into underground reservoirs of hot water or steam to power turbines that generate electricity with no carbon emissions. While the upfront costs to build geothermic systems can be high, it provides a less expensive renewable alternative to fossil fuels once established with benefits like no water losses and being available as a baseload power source.
Looking at the investment per effective MW, geothermal energy is a very attractive investment.
In terms of investment per MW-peak, geothermal energy seems not to be especially attractive. However, utilization must also be considered. Taking utilization into account, geothermal energy is a very attractive investment.
Finally, the period after economic life makes geothermal energy really attractive.

There are two main categories of energy: renewable and non-renewable. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro can be continuously generated without depletion, while non-renewable sources like fossil fuels are finite. It is important to conserve energy because demand is increasing while fuel sources are limited and will eventually be depleted. Small actions like switching off lights when not in use, using public transport, and purchasing energy efficient appliances can help reduce energy consumption and prolong our remaining fuel reserves.
The document discusses the law of conservation of energy and examples of energy transforming from one form to another. It provides examples of potential energy transforming into kinetic energy when an apple falls from a tree and when a person swings on a swing. It also explains that when the swing slows down, friction causes the mechanical energy to be transferred to thermal energy in the form of heat. The document emphasizes that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but rather transformed between different forms, and the total energy in a system remains constant according to the law of conservation of energy.
This document discusses how to conserve energy through reducing consumption. It explains that energy can be converted between forms but not created or destroyed. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind can be replenished, unlike non-renewable fossil fuels which are limited. Conserving energy helps preserve resources for future use and saves money. Simple steps like turning off lights and electronics when not in use can help reduce energy waste at home, school, and in public places. Collective conservation efforts can help ensure a sustainable supply of energy for future generations.
This presentation discusses energy conservation. It defines energy as the ability to do work and outlines different types of energy sources, distinguishing between renewable sources like solar and wind, and non-renewable fossil fuels. The presentation urges conservation efforts, noting that demands are increasing while resources are limited. It suggests individual actions like using efficient light bulbs and unplugging unused devices to save energy and money. India relies heavily on fossil fuel imports, so increased conservation could help address future energy demands and reliance on foreign sources.
The document discusses biofuels as an alternative to fossil fuels. It notes that biofuels are produced from renewable biological resources like vegetable oils, ethanol from crops, and methane from waste. While biofuels have ecological benefits by reducing CO2 emissions and being renewable, their production price is still higher than petroleum. Wide adoption of biofuels could lead to intensive agriculture and potential use of GMOs.
This technique uses vertical drilling to capture geothermal energy for heating with a minimal surface area. Sensors made of polyethylene tubing are inserted into wells spaced 5-10 meters apart near or under a house. The wells are then sealed with a gravel/sand and bentonite mixture to conduct heat and protect against landslides. A water/glycol mixture circulates through the closed system of sensors to extract heat from the natural underground temperature of 10°C. A standard water/water heat pump is used along with a floor heating or low-temperature central heating system inside, providing excellent performance coefficients of 4 or more due to the constant underground temperature.
Germany has a total installed wind energy capacity of 27.981 MW as of June 2011, supplying 7.4% of its net electricity consumption. Capacity varies by state, with Lower Saxony producing the most at 6,664 MW and Berlin producing almost none. As wind energy technology improves and costs decrease, more large offshore wind farms are planned that will further increase Germany's wind energy capacity and contribution to its renewable energy goals.

The Scottish Government has set an ambitious target to generate half of the country's electricity from renewable sources like wind, solar, and hydro power by 2020. While Scotland has significant renewable energy potential, fully utilizing these resources would substantially impact the landscape and local communities. Developing renewable infrastructure requires weighing environmental and social considerations.
This document summarizes the results of a 15 person survey conducted in Moscow, Russia in June 2011 about attitudes towards renewable energy. The key findings were:
1) Most respondents (7) believed that climate change has been caused by a combination of human activities and natural processes.
2) The majority (6) thought that wind power will be the most important renewable energy source in Russia's future.
3) None of the respondents could see a wind farm from their house or school, and most (12) had a positive or didn't mind attitude towards wind farms.
The survey of 60 students at Balfron High School in Scotland found the following:
1) 31 students believed climate change has been caused by human activities, while 9 believed it was due to natural processes.
2) When asked to rank renewable energy sources based on their environmental impact, onshore wind was ranked as having the least impact.
3) Wind (onshore and offshore) and solar were most often cited as the most important renewable energy sources for Scotland's future.
4) 48 students could not see a wind farm from their house or school, while 12 could. Of those who could see a wind farm, most had a positive view of them.
