These areas include sustainability, materials, energy efficiency, land use, and waste reduction. Green buildings are not only designed for present use, but consideration is also been given to future uses as well. An adaptable structure can be "recycled" many times over the course of its useful life. If

  • Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)

    2594 Words  | 6 Pages

    Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is the process of converting the ocean waters temperature difference at different depths into usable energy. From the solar heated upper depths of the ocean to the cooler depths below 2,000 feet a 40 degree temperature difference must be maintained to generate electricity. This is a relatively new and unheard of source of energy. Many people are not aware of the many benefits of OTEC and the impact it will have in the future as the use of fossil fuel conversion declines

Efficiency of the use of these resource

  • Fossil Fuels Essay

    989 Words  | 2 Pages

    fuels are running out. With the average amount of time it takes for coal to form being 300 billion years, the earth can only renew them so fast. Fossil fuels, like coal and oil take the earth billions of years to reproduce so an effective alternate energy source must be explored. Fossil fuels or crude oil has been around for a long time and can be refined to form a number of products such as gas, gasoline, kerosene, gas oil or diesel. We are also running out of oil which is also a non-renewable resource

    White in colour and is usually sold in crystallized pellets or powder, urea is widely used in the agricultural industry as fertilizers. This is due to the high nitrogen content of urea where it has around 46.67% as compared to other nitrogenous fertilizer where ammonium nitrate contains only 35.00% and ammonium sulphate 21.21%. This makes urea the highest amount of nitrogen per mass total among the three and is the lowest cost per pound nitrogen. (D.W. James, 2010) Scientifically known as carbonyldiamide
