  2. Energy conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conservation

    Energy conservation is the effort to reduce wasteful energy consumption by using fewer energy services. This can be done by using energy more effectively (using less and better sources of energy for continuous service) or changing one's behavior to use less and better source of service (for example, by driving vehicles which consume renewable ...

  4. Category:Energy conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Energy_conservation

    Energy conservation is the act of using energy in a more efficient and effective manner. While any form of energy may be conserved, electricity is the type most ...

  5. Energy conservation in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conservation_in_the...

    Energy usage in transportation and residential sectors (about half of U.S. energy consumption) is largely controlled by individual domestic consumers. Commercial and industrial energy expenditures are determined by businesses entities and other facility managers. National energy policy has a significant effect on energy usage across all four ...

  6. Sustainable energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_energy

    Energy storage helps overcome barriers to intermittent renewable energy and is an important aspect of a sustainable energy system. [156] The most commonly used and available storage method is pumped-storage hydroelectricity , which requires locations with large differences in height and access to water. [ 156 ]

  7. Portal:Energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Energy

    Energy is a conserved quantity—the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. The unit of measurement for energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule (J).

  8. Conservation law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_law

    In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. Exact conservation laws include conservation of mass-energy, conservation of linear momentum, conservation of angular momentum, and conservation of electric charge.

  9. Fossil fuel phase-out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel_phase-out

    While crude oil and natural gas are also being phased out in chemical processes (e.g. production of new building blocks for plastics) as the circular economy and biobased economy (e.g. bioplastics) are being developed [16] to reduce plastic pollution, the fossil fuel phase out specifically aims to end the burning of fossil fuels and the consequent production of greenhouse gases.
