Energy Sources

The change which is threatening the existence of life is another factor forcing to consider alternate energy sources. However the energy sources to be adopted will have to meet the varying needs of different countries and at the same time enhance the security of each one against the energy crisis or energy shortage that have taken place in the past. The factors that need consideration for the search for new energy sources should include:

(i) The global energy situation and demand

(ii) The availability of fossil sources

(iii) The efficiency of the energy sources

(iv) The availability of renewable sources

(v) The options for nuclear fission and fusion.

Available Energy Sources
1. Petroleum
2. Natural Gas
3. Coal
4. Nuclear Fission
5. Nuclear Fusion
6. Introduction to Batteries
7. Solid State Batteries
8. Fuel Cells
9. Super capacitors
10. Photo-voltaic cells
11. Photo-electrochemical Cells
12. Hydrogen Production
13. Hydrogen Storage
14. Biochemical Energy Conversion Processes
