Reasons for the Need of Green Energy

Natural resources used in the energy


generation process is on the decline

Increasing pollution caused by the non


renewable sources

GREEN ENERGY

13

Green

energy comes
from natural sources
such as sunlight, wind,
rain, tides, plants, algae
and geothermal heat.

These

energy resources
are renewable.

SOLAR POWER

15

Solar power is the


conversion of sunlight
into electricity, either
directly using
photovoltaics (PV), or
indirectly using
concentrated solar
power (CSP).

It can be used for


pumping water,
refrigeration,
communication, and
charging batteries .

WIND POWER

16

Wind turbines
converts the kinetic
energy in the wind
into mechanical
power that runs a
generator to
produce clean
electricity.

wind energy
contributes only 1%
of global electricity
generation.

WATER POWER

17

Hydroelectricity:

Hydroelectricity
uses the energy of
running water to
make Electrical
energy.

Hydro-electric
stations are built
where there is
Running water is
stored.

POWER /T IDAL POWER

Waves are generated by the


wind as it blows across the sea
surface. Energy is transferred
from the wind to the waves.

Wave energy has the potential to


be one of the most eco friendly
forms of electricity generation.

The first tidal power station was


the Rance tidal power plant built
over a period of 6 years from
1960 to 1966 at La Rance,
France.

19

The pelamis is an offshore


wave energy converter that
uses the motion of waves to
generate electricity.

The machine operates in


water depths greater than
50m and is typically
installed 2-10km from the
coast.

On average one machine will


provide sufficient power to
meet the annual electricity
demand of approximately
500 homes.

Pelamis wave energy converter

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

20

The term Geothermal


originates from two
Greek words 'GEO' and
'THERM'.

The Greek word geo


means the earth and
therm means heat
from the earth.

Geothermal energy is
energy derived from
the heat of the earth.

BIOFUEL

21

Fuel made from


biological sources like
Straw, Wood, Wood
waste, Sugarcane and
By products from
agriculture industry.

Ex: corn, sugarcane,


soybean

GREEN BUILDING

22

Hindrances

High initial cost of setting up the projects

Emerging technology, so risks involved

Doesnt cater to the promoters short term


interest of profit making

Advantages

Reduces cost of operation in the long term

Consumers now more environment conscious

23

GREEN BUILDING
Green

building is the
practice of increasing
the efficiency of
buildings and their use
of energy, water and
materials and reducing
building impacts on
human health and
environment through
better design,
construction, operation,
and maintenance.

24

M ATERIALS USED FOR GREEN


BUILDING

Less volatile organic


compounds paints.

Bamboo flooring.

Woven wool for carpeting.

Ecological concrete.

dicalcium silicate:
2CaO.SiO2, instead of
cement).
Paper insulation panels.

1.BAHRAIN WORLD TRADE CENTRE,


MANAMA

It is the first
skyscraper in the world
to integrate wind
turbines into its design.

The

turbines supply
about 15 percent of the
electricity used by the
skyscraper
approximately the same
amount of electricity
used by 300 homes.

27

2.S KYSCRAPER FARMING

A futuristic concept converts skyscrapers into crop


farms that could help reduce global warming,
improve the urban environment, and help feed the
worlds growing population.

How it would work

SOLAR PANEL- Energy is supplied by a rotating


solar panel that follows the sun; drives interior
heating/cooling system.

GLASS PANEL- Clear coating of titanium oxide


collects pollutants and makes rain slides down the
glass where it is collected and used for watering.

28

ARCHITECTURE- Circular
design allows maximum light
into centre.

ECONOMY- The plan


combines farming with
office and residential
stories.

IRRIGATION- Filtered,
sterilized wastewater from
sewage system can be used
for irrigation.

3.NATIONAL LIBRARY, SINGAPORE

Building is oriented away from


the east-west sun, combined
with sun shading features on
the west face of the building
as an additional shield against
solar heat gain.

An open area between the two


blocks, which allows natural
ventilation and day lighting.

Extensive landscaping, and


roof gardens are utilized to
lower local ambient
temperature.

Use of rain sensors as part of


the automatic irrigation
system for rooftop gardens.

Product

Product dimension includes providing and using


engineering with market-driven trends for green product
attributes such as energy savings, organic clothing, low
volatile organic compounds, green chemicals etc.

Greener selection and use of resources results in savings


from less waste, less chemicals and less processing.

Wal-Mart has made tremendous strides in greening their


transportation, energy usage, facility design and adoption of
some greener products such as organic clothing.

GREEN CHEMISTRY

32

Design of processes to maximize the amount of raw


material that ends up in the product.

Use of safe, environment-benign substances,


including solvents, whenever possible.

Design of energy efficient processes.

Best form of waste disposal, not to create it in the


first place.

33

GREEN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Also

called green computing it


describes the study and the
using of computer resources
in an efficient way.

Green

IT starts with
manufacturers producing
environmentally friendly
products and encouraging IT
departments to consider more
friendly options like
virtualization, power
management and proper
recycling habits.

34

P RINCIPLES

DFE(D ESIGN FOR ENVIRONMENT )

EPA's Design for the Environment


(DfE) works in partnership with
industry, environmental groups,
and academia to reduce risk to
people and the environment by
finding ways to prevent pollution.

DfE has evaluated human health


and environmental concerns
associated with traditional and
alternative chemicals and
processes in a range of industries.

36

W HAT D OES THE DFE L ABEL


M EAN ?

EPA allows safer products to carry the


Design for the Environment (DfE) label. This
label enables consumers to quickly identify
and choose products that are safer for them,
their families, and the environment.

When you see the DfE logo on a product it


means that the DfE scientific review team
has screened each ingredient for potential
human health and environmental effects .

GREEN
NANOTECHNOLOGY
Green nanotechnology refers to the use of

nanotechnology to enhance the environmentalsustainability of processes currently producing negative


externalities.

Aims to minimize potential environmental and human

health risks associated with the manufacture and use


of nanotechnology products, and to encourage
replacement of existing products with new nanoproducts that are more environmentally friendly
throughout their lifecycle.

APPLICATIONS

40

The use of green technology can reduce the amount of


waste and pollution and provide early warming
message that is created during production,
consumption, and impact of natural disaster.

This special issue provides an international forum for


scientists, engineers, researchers, technocrats, and
academicians for consolidating research activities and
findings in all experimental, theoretical, and practical
aspects of green science, technology, and engineering
into a single and unique reference source.

41

GREEN NANO TECHNOLOGY


Green nanotechnology
refers to the use of
nanotechnology to
enhance the
environmental
sustainability of
processes producing
negative externalities. It
also refers to the use of
the products of
nanotechnology to
enhance sustainability.
BCM 501

Ex: One major project that is


being worked on is the
development of nanotechnology
in solar cells. Solar cells are
more efficient as they get
tinier and Nanotechnology is
already used to provide
improved performance coatings
for photovoltaic (PV) and solar
thermal panels.

PV covered with nanotechnology


coatings are said to stay cleaner
for longer to ensure maximum
energy efficiency is maintained.

Although there are some defects of green


technology, everything done should have both
positive and negative impacts.

Global warming and energy crisis cannot be


solved with one or two years.

It really requires our determination and continue


effort in improving the situation.

Green technology will definitely be the solution


that gets the potential in helping us to solve
those problems and improve our environment
