Energy

is one of the most fundamental parts of our universe. The ability or capacity of a body to do work is called energy.

The Energy Story, we will look at the energy that makes our world work. Energy is an important part of our daily lives. The forms of energy we will look at include: Electricity Biomass Energy - energy from plants Geothermal Energy Fossil Fuels - Coal, Oil and Natural Gas Hydro Power and Ocean Energy Nuclear Energy Solar Energy Wind Energy Transportation Energy

Managing energy efficiently requires a range of techniques to identify and implement both energy and cost reduction measures. A structured and formal energy management policy can allow you to save as much as 20%, while energy savings of up to 10% are possible through no-cost measures.

Fossil fuels or mineral fuels are fuels formed by natural resources such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms.
The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years. These fuels contain high percentage of carbon and hydrocarbons.

Fossil fuels are formed by the anaerobic decomposition of remains of organisms including phytoplankton and zooplankton that settled to the sea (or lake) bottom in large quantities under anoxic conditions, millions of years ago.

Fossil fuels are of great importance because they can be burned (oxidized to carbon dioxide and water), producing significant amounts of energy. The use of coal as a fuel predates recorded history. Coal was used to run furnaces for the melting of metal ore. Semi-solid hydrocarbons from seeps were also burned in ancient times, but these materials were mostly used for waterproofing and embalming.

The wide-scale use of fossil fuels, coal at first and petroleum later, to fire steam engines, enabled the Industrial Revolution The invention of the internal combustion engine and its use in automobiles and trucks greatly increased the demand for gasoline and diesel oil, both made from fossil fuels.

Energy services, in general, include exploration, development, extraction, production, marketing, consumption and management of energy products and fuels. Transport, transmission and distribution of energy are considered core energy services; the others include consulting in energy efficiency, conservation and renewable sources of energy.

The processes and motives leading to--or not leading to-the creation of comprehensive energy management programs in different sectors are not well understood, and the cost effectiveness of various approaches needs to be investigated further, this lack of information does not seem to be a motive for a no-action strategy.

The Energy Policy in India lays emphasis on maximizing returns from the systems already created in the energy sector. This includes reducing technical losses in production, transportation and end use of all forms of energy and to reduce the energy intensity of the different consuming sectors of the economy and to promote conservation and demand management through appropriate organizational and fiscal measures.

Energy made up a very small component of the total production cost and monopolized business enabled recovery of high cost of energy.
The world is moving towards a sustainable energy future with an emphasis on energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources. A finite planet cannot support infinitely increasing consumption of resources and hence the motto of present times must be to "REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE".
