The type and use of green energy

The energy problem always has been the focus of global attention, but in today's society tend to use of renewable and green energy. Not only save the costs but also protect the environment.

 

Biomass

Biomass as a renewable green energy, is refers to the life and the recently dead biological material, can be used as fuel or for industrial production. In this context, the biomass is refers to the power or waste generated, for example, such as the withered trees and branches, prune yard waste and wood biomass, plant or animal that it also includes material for the production of fiber, chemical or thermal. Biomass includes biodegradable waste, which can be as fuel combustion. Biomass industry in a variety of plants, including Miscanthus, switchgrass, hemp, corn, poplar, willow, sorghum, sugarcane, and various tree species, from eucalyptus oil palm (palm oil).Used by a particular plants are usually not important end products, but it does affect the processing of raw materials. Biomass production is an emerging industry interest in sustainable fuel sources is growing. The existing commercial biomass power generation industry in the United States produces about 0.5% of the American power supply. Equipment can reduce dependence on oil, each year more than one million barrels, recycling sugar cane and wood waste, save the urban community of landfills in Florida.

 

Compressed Natural Gas

Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a fossil fuel substitute for gasoline, diesel, or propane fuel. Despite its combustion produces greenhouse gases, it is a much cleaner environment alternative fuel, and safer than any other fuel leakage (gas lighter than air, dissipate quickly after release).CNG used in traditional gasoline internal combustion engine car has been converted to dual fuel (gasoline/CNG) car. Natural gas vehicle are increasingly using due to higher gasoline prices in Europe and South America. In response to higher oil prices and environmental problems, CNG began to apply to light passenger car and light truck, medium truck, the transportation and the school bus, a train. Italy is the most European CNG automobile is the fourth country in the world the number of countries around the world to use CNG car. Canada is a large natural gas producers, so the CNG in Canada is a kind of green energy vehicle fuel economy. Canadian industry has developed for CNG fuel trucks and buses engines, CNG fuel for buses, light trucks and taxis. Propane and CNG gas stations are not difficult to find in the center of the main. In the 1980 s and 1980 s, CNG used in New Zealand after the oil crisis, but fell into decline after petrol prices receded.
