EFFICIENT ENERGY........

the energy is an form of power and can transform in to many form....like oil to money .... money to power .......oil to war .....and war to blood ............ the logic behind the all the transformation , i feel it s the energy ......
its time to think the concept of the energy efficiency .... its starting from the your room ...just save the energy ... then we have to think the renewable energy to green building....
then we have to think nuclear deals.......
the indian way !!!!!!!!
energy in two categories as electricity and fuels (kerosene, petrol, diesel, LPG etc.). We should reduce our dependence on electricity wherever possible. For e.g. we use electricity for heating water, though we have other fuels like LPG, coal, firewood, solar heaters etc. which are more efficient than electricity if you take a holistic approach. We burn coal at thermal power station to generate electricity, suffer huge losses in transmission and distribution and finally convert that electricity into heat. It is better to directly burn coal at home and get the required heat. This way we will save 70 per cent of coal........... coal the starting stone of the energy ........

Biogas is also one of the most promising but highly neglected renewable energy options. With new technologies coming in, we can save more than 50 per cent of LPG use if we switch over to biogas. A few biogas-bottling projects for vehicle fuel have also come up in recent years. On a small-scale, electricity generation through biogas is economical and ideal for isolated tribal villages. Dairies, poultries and food processing industries can generate biogas on a large scale.

how the engineer can work on it
People have very high expectations from renewable energy but it is extremely important to understand its limitations too. Electricity generation from biomass and in few cases by big grid connected wind generators is practical to some extent, but largely other renewable energy options are still no good for electricity generation. However, ‘renewable energy’ opens up huge possibilities for saving fuel. India has huge potential for exploiting the gift of nature by way of good sun, wind and rain. We can save huge amount of fuels and electricity by adopting renewable energy gadgets ... here we need much more research and development...... ultimately need a good allocation of budget for the future ..... for the present ......

make better future thru present ..... winning of the innovative ideas ....
