As an energy source, biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat, or converted to a more energy-dense biofuel like ethanol. Wood is the most significant biomass energy source as of 2012 [103] and is usually sourced from a trees cleared for silvicultural reasons or fire prevention.
Energy development is the field of activities focused on obtaining sources of energy from natural resources. [citation needed] These activities include the production of renewable, nuclear, and fossil fuel derived sources of energy, and for the recovery and reuse of energy that would otherwise be wasted.
Renewable energy sources are essential to sustainable energy, as they generally strengthen energy security and emit far fewer greenhouse gases than fossil fuels. [49] Renewable energy projects sometimes raise significant sustainability concerns, such as risks to biodiversity when areas of high ecological value are converted to bioenergy ...
A whole lot of natural gas and oil, says George Brown of the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program. Opinion: Infrastructure is synonymous with the natural gas and oil industry Skip to main content
Opinion: AI searches require 10 times the energy of Google searches. Without more natural gas permits, U.S. power grid cannot support AI.
The size of the new bipartisan infrastructure bill isn’t the only thing that separates this legislation from its predecessors. WSJ’s Gerald F. Seib explains the five key ways this bill takes a ...
An energy transition is a broad shift in technologies and behaviours that are needed to replace one source of energy with another. [14]: 202–203 A prime example is the change from a pre-industrial system relying on traditional biomass, wind, water and muscle power to an industrial system characterized by pervasive mechanization, steam power and the use of coal.
In the world of oil and gas, America stands out as the top producer of natural gas liquids (or NGLs, not to be confused with liquefied natural gas, or LNG). Today, the U.S. is responsible for over ...
