Need of Energy Conservation
Question
Q. State the importance and need of energy conservation.
Q. List benefits of energy conservation.
Q. state four necessities of energy conservation.
Q. State the importance and need of energy conservation in present scenario.
Answer
- Fossil fuels, coals, natural gas etc. today are generating sufficient energy but their demand is growing day by day.
- Near about 60% of these sources have been used in last two centuries.
- Non renewable and fossil fuels supply 85% of primary energy.
- Increasing consumption is causing these reserves to decline.
- It is continued to be wasted without paying attention towards energy conservation we will run out of non renewable energy to use.
- Almost everything of our lives depends energy. It is not only just related to making life comfortable but also crucial for survival.
- Also extravagant use of these energy sources lead to import of the same on scarcity hence, to avoid the drain of foreign exchange.
- With the growth of industrial sector release of harmful pollutants and CO2 emissions are also. Increasing with per unit output energy efficiency can be practiced to control the CO2 emissions.
- The term energy conservation includes various practices and procedures adopted with the motive of minimizing the total amount of present energy consumption in various sectors of society I.e. Domestic, Industrial, etc all such.
- In addition to economic importance of energy conservation, it has widespread potential. Energy conservation is not only limited to “Reduce Energy Bills to Reduce Money”.
- Energy conservation reduces the extent of dependency on fossil fuels by curtailing our energy needs. This has a very important benefit from environment point of view as it results in reduction of green house gases.
- All parts of the world are continuously consuming the energy heavily from fossil fuels especially Asian countries China and India are rising as a new economic giants, certainly, energy conservation will prove to be a major activity in upcoming years.
- The fossil fuels that are presently being used dominantly are limited energy sources that will be exhausted completely in due course of time in this regard energy conservation is important so am to safeguard the reliability of energy delivery in future.
- Energy conservation will keep the supplement of fossil fuels active at least until the time when the renewable energy industry grows to the extent where it can take the place of conventional power plants.
- The persistently rising demand of more and more energy is met by increasing the energy production in most of the cases and the more logical solution of energy conservation is not given importance ma remedy.
- In such situations, energy conservation in much better solution than increased energy production because increase in energy production demands even more fossil fuel and results in even more fuel import from other countries.
- The constantly increasing dependence on import of foreign fuels affects our future energy security and energy system becomes sensitive to turbulent oil prices.
- The bottom line is with every coming day environmental condition of our planet is being worn an beyond reduction of energy bills energy conservation has wider scope as it takes care of,
- Energy Security
- Sustainability
