Emerging Sector

Why called the emerging sector? Why it has so demands now. Lets find out that. Today the global climate is suffering because of sudden carbon emissions that are taking place in recent years and aslo the cause to dangerous global warming. We are still figuring for the solutions for the drastic change of climatic conditions but we have an option which is in development in couple of years. Yes you have heard it right, Its the Green Energy. Today there are a lot options in the green energy and active development to save our globe at all costs. In the following and the coming Newsletter we'll get to know more about Green Energy and various factors of it.

Types

So far there are 6 types of green energy these are

1. Solar Power
2. Wind Power
3. Hydro Power
4. Nuclear Energy
5. Geothermal Energy
6. Biomass and Biofuels

So lets see one by one and its short description.

In the above types Solar, Wind and Hydro are the common types, but what are these?? In Solar Energy we harness the energy from sun and convert that energy into electricity either through solar cells or solar panels. In Wind Energy the blades are rotated by the force of wind after that the generator coverts it to Electricity. Hydro Power is the most used in India. In Hydro Power water from dams is release and thrown on turbine which is connected to generator and then electricity is generated. The next two types are not so common in India but have created a strong impact on the other nations. These are Nuclear and Geothermal Energy. Nuclear Energy is basically the use of nuclear reaction to produce electricity, although Nuclear Energy is not considered in Green energy but maximum waste from Nuclear Energy can be regenerated. Geothermal Energy is the energy under the Earth's crust. Geothermal Energy is very rarely used and also limited to few countries. The last two types are Biomass and Biofuels. In India these are the sole energy uses in villages and lower tier cities. Biomass power plants use wood waste, sawdust and combustible organic agricultural waste to create energy. Biofuels are the liquid form of biomass. Currently in Biofuels the use of coconut oil, ethanol is spreading more.

Beneficial to Environment

Today after realizing that we have caused a lot pollution and harm to environment we are racing to develop solutions which are not just green and clean but also affordable for human beings in the future. In the environmental perspective we will see that how its beneficial to environment. Today the world runs on so much chemicals, fuels which emit hazardous gases which keep lowering the quality of air in the environment. We use petrol, diesel in our day to day lives but don't realize the harmful effects on humans and environment. For this we are developing electric vehicles which not just environment friendly but also do help the environment get cleaner. Not just in the fuels part but also electricity harnessing part is we use a lot coal, and chemicals for generating electricity but we have clean alternatives such as the solar, wind and hydropower energy which is absolutely great alternative to coal and also helpful in mass setup. Also Nuclear Energy is can be used to harness large amount of electricity. Geothermal energy is aslo on of the biggest forms of the energy but is currently unexplored because of its limited resources.

In the next part we will talk about the limitations and the future role of Green Energy.
