Green energy of the sea currents. The energy of the future?
Hello my Steemian friends!
In my previous post I shared impressive information about the Aral Sea, the greatest natural disaster produced by the intervention of man in the environment. Where the terrible consequences generated by the modification of the ecosystem for the exploitation of its resources were evident.
Green or clean energy = renewable energy that respects the environment
In simple words, renewable energy is obtained by transforming the energy of wind, sun, water and heat through mechanisms created by man to absorb it from nature and convert it into electricity to supply communities. It is the application of the law of conservation of energy which states that energy is not created or destroyed but transformed.
According to the Global Energy Statistical Yearbook 2017 of Enerdata, the generation of renewable energy in the world is increasing. This progress is mainly due to the decrease in implementation costs experienced by this type of technology in recent years (this has been its greatest limitation). Developing countries such as South Asia, Latin America and South Africa are expanding their renewable energy sources. China, USA and Austria have made massive investments in hydroelectric, wind and solar energy. The European Union has also made progress on the issue albeit more slowly.
It is estimated that if renewable sources are doubled by 2030, harmful emissions of pollutants such as ammonia, solid particles, sulfur dioxide will be drastically reduced, as well as health costs related to pollution.
One of the technologies that is currently booming to generate renewable energy is the one that uses the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the marine currents, called Tidal Energy. The interest in this type of technology is basically due to the fact that its implementation costs are lower than the costs of other renewable energies (wind or solar). In addition, comparing it with the Tidal Dam, it has a lower environmental impact and does not require large areas of land for its operation, as in the case of wind energy.
How does it work?
I hope you like this publication about green energy. I appreciate your time and comments.
Happy day friends!
