Make solar energy Economical Provide energy from fusion Replace Fossil Fuel with Hydrogen
Half-life of waste around 5o years Earthbound reactors cannot achieve the high pressures of the suns interior but temperatures much higher than the suns can be created to compensate for the lesser pressure, especially if heavier forms of hydrogen, known as deuterium and tritium are fused
One method involves using magnetic forces to hold the fusion ingredients together as in ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), currently being built in France
Building full-scale fusion-generating facilities will require engineering advances to meet challenges, including better superconducting magnets and advanced vacuum systems.
Hydrogen can be set up to react with oxygen to produce water and electricity. This is called a fuel cell.
A grand challenge for the 21st centurys engineers will be developing systems for capturing the carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels and sequestering it safely away from the atmosphere.
Storage of CO2
Storage in depleted oil fields, offers an important economic advantage where the carbon dioxide interacts with the remaining oil to make it easier to remove. Another possibility is storage in sedimentary rock formations with pores containing salty water. The best sedimentary brine formations would be those more than 800 meters deep ,far below sources of drinking water, and at a depth where high pressure will maintain the carbon dioxide in a high-density state.
One nitrous oxide molecule, in fact, traps heat about 200 times more effectively than each molecule of carbon dioxide.
Nitrous oxide also remains in the air for a long time on the order of a century because it does not dissolve easily in water and resists reacting with other chemicals. Consequently it eventually reaches the stratosphere where sunlight breaks it into nitric oxide, a key link in the chain of reactions that damages the Earths protective ozone layer.
Conclusion
In todays fast paced world, current energy sources have become the most precious resources. Current sources are non-renewable and pollute a lot. Hence new sources have to be discovered. For that new technology has to be developed. This is where we come in.
