Energy and Environment

Understanding the Relationship and


Challenges
Introduction
• Definition of Energy: The ability to do work.
• Types of Energy: Renewable and Non-
renewable.
• Why Energy Matters:
• - Essential for modern life.
• - Drives economic development.
Types of Energy Sources
• 1. Non-renewable Energy Sources:
• - Fossil Fuels (Coal, Oil, Natural Gas)
• - Nuclear Energy
• - Key Issues: Limited supply, environmental
damage

• 2. Renewable Energy Sources:


• - Solar, Wind, Hydropower, Biomass,
Geothermal
Energy and Environment Link
• Energy Consumption Impact on Environment:
• - Air Pollution (e.g., emissions from burning
fossil fuels)
• - Water Pollution (e.g., oil spills)
• - Deforestation (e.g., for biofuels)
• - Global Warming (due to greenhouse gas
emissions)

• Environmental Degradation: Loss of


Challenges with Non-renewable
Energy
• - Depletion of resources
• - High carbon emissions
• - Climate change and global warming
• - Hazardous waste from nuclear power
Benefits of Renewable Energy
• - Reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
• - Improves air and water quality.
• - Infinite supply (e.g., solar, wind).
• - Job creation in green energy sectors.
Current Environmental Issues
• - Global Warming: Rising average
temperatures.
• - Pollution: Air, water, and soil contamination.
• - Deforestation: Clearing of forests for energy
needs.
• - Acid Rain: Caused by fossil fuel combustion.
Sustainable Energy Practices
• - Energy Conservation:
• - Using energy-efficient appliances.
• - Reducing energy wastage.
• - Adopting Renewable Energy:
• - Transition from coal to solar/wind power.
• - Policies and Innovation:
• - Government regulations.
• - Innovations in clean energy technology.
Global Initiatives
• - Paris Agreement: Reducing global emissions.
• - Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7):
Affordable and clean energy for all.
• - Green Energy Projects: Examples from
around the world.
Conclusion
• Energy and environment are deeply
interconnected.
• Adopting renewable energy and sustainable
practices is vital to protect our planet.
• Each individual and industry can contribute to
a greener future.
