Introduction

The concept of sustainable development was first introduced in 1987 by the United Nations as part of the Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, in which it was stated that sustainable development implies “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (United Nations General Assembly, 1987). The World Conservation Strategy published in 1980 served as prelude to the conception of this notion, as the UN recognized the importance of minimizing the impact of human activity over the earth’s ecosystems and adopting models inclined towards sustainability ...

Introduction

Concerns with avoiding the adverse consequences of Global Warming and the effects of Climate Change has increased significantly over the past decades (Deutch et al.). The leading economies such as the United States are still reluctant to adopt comprehensive climate change policies despite pledging to do so. Nor has there been an agreement with the emerging rapidly-growing economies such as India, South Korea, China, Indonesia, and Mexico on the mechanisms to adopt Greenhouse Gas (GHGs) emission constraints (US Energy Information Administration [EIA]). With Global emissions of GHGs projected to continue to increase, there is the added urgency to not ...

Nowadays, almost everyone heard at least something about global warming. But, it is not only the change of the climate, but also, the consequences of it. Usually, the term is used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. However, not every scientist believes the global warming is real. But, the data and facts say the planet is warming. Interestingly, the humans knew about global warming even in the late 1800s, but did little to prevent it. So, today, ...

Abstract The purpose of this research paper is to introduce the different types of energy resources utilized worldwide. This paper discusses the history of the different resources used, starting with the utilization of conventional fossil fuel based technologies, the emergence of nuclear power and finally, the commercialization of renewable energy resources. The main objective of this research paper is to provide an insight on how these energy sources are accessed, utilized, distributed and developed. The paper also seeks to impact of the utilization of these various energy resources on the environment, especially the effect of continued utilization of ...

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY POLICIES

References13 Abstract Energy consumption and energy production is the major industry. Energy production and exploring ways of producing energy in an efficient way is necessary. Some countries prefer conventional sources and some have more natural resources so they prefer to produce energy through renewable energy resources (RES). So here in this paper we will discuss some of the energy production sources and their impact on the economy of the state. On the other hand, merits and demerits of the selected energy resource will be discussed. At the end, it will be concluded that which energy production source ...

[Author] 1. Introduction The Earth holds lots of energy, which can be converted to many forms. The world’s current need is to generate power from the available source; out of that the most used source for power generation is oil and coal [Solar power (Anon., 2009)]. The most of the scientists in the world are recommending not using coal or oil for generating power as it was changing the earth’s current temperature we call it as global warming. Most of the countries are now aware on the effect on using oil and coal for power ...

Introduction

During the creation of the world, the world contains some amount of resources to produce energy. The need for light during dark period forced many scientists to invent the flow of energy called electricity. The need for electricity forced humans to use non renewable energy resources like coal, petroleum etc. The Human fails to understand the non renewable energy resources are depleting in nature and it will diminish after some years. Now all of them are searching for renewable energy resources, among them solar energy is the good renewable energy resources that can be obtained from sun. The suns ...

Introduction

The U.S. is ranked at the second leading energy consumer with regards to consumption in the year 2011 while it ranks in the seventh position in the energy consumption per-capita. According to the Energy Information Administration, it is estimated that most of the energy consumed in the U.S. in the year 2011 came from fossil fuels at 25 percent, 21percent from coal while 23 percent came from natural gas. It is also estimated that nuclear power contributed 8 percent; hydroelectric dams supplied 4 percent of the energy while renewable forms of energy supplied a total of 8 percent mainly from ...

Energy fuel consumption- Statistic Project by using ANOVA table and Hypothesis

INTRODUCTION There is a lot to learn about the energy fuel consumption in Canada. Rather, the energy fuel consumption has got a list of salient features so as to find out the profits generated from this consumption. Canada is one of the largest energy producers and exporters of products in the world. The project aims at calculating the connection between different variables related to energy fuel consumption in Canada. Owing to my immense interest in learning about this field, I have collected a lot of raw material I have had a lot of interest in learning about the energy consumption industry ...
