Types of Green Energy 
Green Energy
going   cute
Solar   Power
• Is produced by 
using photovoltaic 
cells, which 
capture  sunlight 
and turns that into 
energy.
Problems
?
-The sun has got to 
shine
-The cost of solar 
panels 
and the systems 
range
between  $20k-40k
-The  light  from the 
sun
produces a very small 
amount of energy 
Wind Power
-These giant pinwheels spin from  strong  winds which
spins a  turbine  of a generator to produce energy.

Germany and 
Sustainability 
Key Concepts
 Over the last 40 years, all levels of government in Germany 
have reworked policies to promote growth that is more 
environmentally sustainable
 Germany’s policies  aimed  at “greening” the  economy  provide 
several  lessons for the United  States  about how to make 
sustainability politically acceptable in a federal system of 
government
 Germany's impressive feat has been less about innovation than 
about implementation
 Germany has become a forerunner in promoting a greener, 
more sustainable future
German Renewable Energy Act
(Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz 
(EEG))
• The Act  came  into  force  in the  year  2000 
• Initial spark of a tremendous boost of renewable 
energies in Germany
• Proved to be the world's most effective policy 
framework  at accelerating the  deployment  of 
renewable energy technologies
• The Renewable Energy Act was the central 
political  element of one of the  greatest  paradigm 
shifts since the start of the  industrial  revolution: 
the  shift  from fossil and  atomic  energy supplies to 
renewable energy sources .
Freiburg
• Freiburg is a 900 year old city of under 250,000 
people, perched in the  wine  growing  region  of 
southwest Germany
• Citizens have high environmental awareness
• Sunniest Region in Germany,  Making  it the “Solar 
Capital”
• The Heliotrope (the world’s first energy self-sustaining 
solar  building )
 
Germany and the Kyoto  
Protocol  
•  Sets  binding obligations on industrialized countries to 
reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
• Between  March  1998 and March 1999, 84 countries 
including  Germany signed the Kyoto Protocol.
• In March 2002, the Bundestag unanimously ratified 
Kyoto.  In May 2002, the European Union submitted the 
articles  of ratification for all 15 of its then  member  
states.
• Since signing and ratifying the protocol, Germany has 
committed to reducing its emissions to 21% below 
1990 levels between 2008 and 2012
RECYCLING: A  Prime  Example of German 
Sustainability
How it began…
• The “Green Movement” in Germany 
was ignited by damaging acid rain that 
was ruining their  forests
• Challenging the “Throwaway Society”
•  Space  was becoming limited for 
landfills
• NIMBY  syndrome  was  rampant  and 
there was an imperative need to  find  a 
solution
Verpackungsverordnung
The Ordinance on the Avoidance of 
Packaging  Waste  (1991)
• Making the “Polluter Pay”
•  Goal : to give private industry  incentive  to consider 
the  solid  waste  consequences  when it designs 
packages
•  Requires  industry to take back, reuse, and/or 
recycle  packaging
•  Major  Objectives
– Packaging should be made from “environmentally 
responsible” materials compatible with recycling
–  Weight  and volume  of packaging should be minimized
– Packaging should be refillable, if feasible
– Packaging should be  recycled if it cannot be refilled
How It Works
• This system requires thorough 
implementation of the  legislation  
• It could not possibly  work   without  the 
cooperation  of its citizens
• According to a 1998 survey, about 
91% of German homeowners separate 
their waste in  order  to contribute to 
environmental protection
The  Color  System
Glas
• All  glass  bottles are 
collected at 
community “igloos”
• It is very  important  
that the  colors  are 
sorted properly
• A sophisticated 
sorting system 
processes the glass 
and produces new 
glass as beverage 
containers

and are permitted to use the 
trademark on all their 
packaging

Interesting  Statistics

Germany leads European nations in recycling, with  around  70% of 
the waste the  country  generates successfully recovered and 
reused each year

In 2007, the US was able to recover only about 33% of the waste 
generated that year

Between 1996-2007, the country has reduced its  total  net waste 
amount by more than 37.7 million U.S. tons

In 2004, package recycling saved about 73.2 billion  mega  joules 
of  primary  energy which equals about 20 billion  kilowatt  hours. 

In 2004, about 5.2 million tons of packages were recycled, 
which equals 63 kg per  capita

Since its implementation, recycling has prevented about 1.06 
million tons of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere.

Renewable energy

Renewable energy Meriliin Lend Estonian University of Life Sciences Tartu 2013 Topics Renewable energy Solar energy Wind energy Hydroelectric power Geothermal energy Biomass energy Renewable energy Renewable energy comes from sources that naturally renew, or will not run out in our lifetimes. Includes sunlight, wind, water, geothermal heat and various forms of biomass. Renewable energy cannot be exhausted and is constantly renewed. Does not harm the environment. Saves money. Solar energy Solar energy is the technology used to harness the sun's energy and make it useable. Every hour the sun beams onto Earth more than enough energy to satisfy global energy needs for an entire year. Solar energy use has surged at about 20 percent a year over the past 15 years, thanks to rapidly falling prices and gains in efficiency. Solar energy is inexhaustible. Noise free.

technologies. Second-generation biofuels are not yet commercially viable and therefore will not be discussed; although they could significantly improve the sustainability of biofuels when they break through to the industrial scale. 2. The scale of biofuels production 2.1. Drivers of biofuels production Lal (2010) stated that "three inter-connected challenges face humankind in the 21st century": food security, climate change, and energy security. The world population is projected to reach 9 billion in 2050, posing more demands on energy, food, and other natural resources. It has been estimated that the world food production needs to double and meat production increase by 85% by 2050 to fulfill projected demand by population (Karp, 2011). In the recent decades, the food consumption in the most populous counties has shifted from grain-based diets to meat and dairy diets. Meat production requires times more biomass in the form of

Introduction To be honest I got the list of topics after most interesting ones for me were taken. At first I was not very satisfied with my topic but then I realized that this could be actually really interesting thing to make a report of. I chose this particular topic because I have always been interested in green energy. This topic gave me an excellent opportunity to improve my knowledge about these kinds of things. For me this report is a great challenge because I have not done anything like this before, especially in English. Primary goal for me is to improve my knowledge about renewable energy and also usage of English language. This report is going to talk about biogas. It provides a brief review of usage and future prospects of the biogas. I have tried to make this report as understandable as

decimating. Another example is the destruction of coral reefs in the various oceans, which support the rich marine life. FIND OUT 5 WAYS HOW TO HALT THE LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY 6. Deforestation: Our forests produce fresh oxygen and help in regulating temperature and rainfall. At present forests cover 30% of the land but every year tree cover is lost amounting to the country of Panama due to growing population demand for more food, shelter and cloth. Deforestation simply means clearing of green cover and making that land available for residential, industrial or commercial purpose. FIND OUT 5 WAYS HOW TO STOP DEFORESTATION. 7. Ocean Acidification: It is a direct impact of excessive production of CO2. 25% of CO2 produced by humans. The ocean acidity has increased by the last 250 years but by 2100, it may shoot up by 150%. The main impact is on shellfish and plankton. Acid Rain: Acid rain occurs due to the presence of certain pollutants in the atmosphere. Acid rain can be

Natural resources - our treasure

Renewable resources: Some natural resources can be reproduced within a few years or decades. These are called renewable resources. Solar radiation, wind and hydroelectricity, are perpetual resources that are in no danger of a lack of long-term availability. Some natural renewable resources such as geothermal power, fresh water, timber, and biomass must be carefully managed to avoid exceeding the worlds capability to displace them. Solar energy is the energy derived directly from the Sun. Along with nuclear energy, it is the most important source of energy on Earth. People usually use solar energy to produce electricity and heat. Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy, such as electricity, using wind turbines. These wind turbines are popular in counties, where the average speed of the wind is at least 6 meters per second for example in Germany, Denmark, USA and India.
