Kilowatt

What’s a Kilowatt???Power= E/T

Energy Conservation

Where do you see areas for energy conservation?

Net energy: Energy given versus energy used

Active Solar Heating System

Passive Solar System: All about structure, and position

Photovoltaic cell (solar cell, collector)

Windfarm

Geothermal Energy

Hydroelectric Power PlantHydropower

Fissionable Isotope

Critical mass

Hazards: Meltdown (China

syndrome), storage, radiation

Nuclear change with energy

release

Nuclear Fusion: Ohhh the potential

Biofuel

Problem: More CO2 footprint used to develop the fuel, competition for food

Liquid Natural Gas

Why: Easier storage and mobility, slightly less volatile

Coal Gasification

Cleaner fuel

Cogeneration

Combined heat and power

Synfuel

NOT made from crude oil

Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG)Gas from coal

Crude Oil

Hydrocarbon with a lot of energy available in it for combustion and plastics

May be harmful to your health

Coal uses

Bitument and Oil Sand

Oil Sand

Oil Shale and Kerogen

Petrochemicals

• chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, plastics, synthetic fibers, paints, medicines, and many other products

Fossil Fuel
