  • World energy demand has been dramatically increasing because of using much energy of developing countries in Asia. The other side, conventional fossil fuels supply has been gradually decreasing due to the limitation of fossil fuel reserves and changing to the use of environmental-friendly energy for prevention the emission of carbon dioxide, NOx and SOx. Based on these times and status, we get the n necessity of the conversion of environmental-friendly energy and the high effective utilization of conventional and unconventional energy. Recently, promised DME fuel as environmental-friendly and substituted oils will be introduced the status of technology and market in domestic and foreign.

  • Temperature difference energy is a good energy source replacing the fossil fuels. In the study, we classified the temperature difference energy as 4 types by the source & using method. For the understanding economic property of temperature difference energy, we tried simle economic analysis. As the result, Pay back period of 4 case of the temperature difference energy are from 1.23 to 12.65 years. Major factors influenced economic effect are operation time and energy user distance from the temperature difference energy source. If we can select optimal capacity and look for more effient energy users, Temperature difference energy play a important role of replacing fossil energy. So, for dess emination of temperature difference energy, we suggest that temperature difference energy must be included in renewable energy. Applying the effective methods among various promotion program of renewable energy policy, utilization of temperature difference energy could be activated.

  • Interests have been focused to the renewable energy because energy cost of fossil fuel increased and global climate change caused by CO2 evolution became severe. To overcome these problems, it is essential to develop the energy conversion technologies of renewable resources. Therefore, production and utilization state of wood and woody waste was firstly investigated and then various technologies (pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion) converting the wood and woody waste to energy were summarized. Some case studies of woody waste utilization in europe was introduced with the policy of EU countries. Economical aspect of woody waste was compared with the current fossil fuels and the energy policy of wood and woody waste was suggested.

  • This paper examines the historical relationship between the Little Ice Age and the Anthropocene, which has not yet been studied. The Little Ice Age is the coldest multi-century period in the Holocene. The reforestation of huge farmlands, abandoned due to pandemics in the Americas, aggravated the cooling weather of the Little Ice Age. It was in the long and severe cold of the Little Ice Age that the transition from renewable energy to non-renewable energy was completed in Britain in the latter part of the eighteenth century, and when the pattern of linear growth in greenhouse gas concentrations was forged in the ecosystems of the Earth. The Little Ice Age forced humans to depend on fossil fuels while the advent of warmer and more stable climate in the Holocene enabled them to start agriculture in an energy revolution 11,000 years ago, thus making the coming of the Anthropocene possible.

  • The release of polluting gases such as NO/sub x/ of SO/sub x/ to the atmosphere from ships is causing increasing concern. To reduce destruction to the marine environment, the value of the utilization of photovoltaic energy is highly appreciated since photovoltaic energy is and alternate clean energy source to fossil fuels. The use of a photovoltaic generating system to supplement diesel engine driven electric power system on ships has been studied. The design of the photovoltaic generating system based on a photovoltaic array is presented in this paper. The amount of NO/sub x/ and SO/sub x/ emission is found to be significantly reduced for a small vessel operated within a harbour after a photovoltaic generating system is installed to supplement the diesel engine generator system.

  • G8 summit meeting held in July 2008 decided to set up a long-term goal, by 2050, reducing the world greenhouse emissions by half of those emitted in 1990. In November 2009, the Government announced to reduce the national $CO_2$ emission by 30[%] of BAU by 2020. Electric power industries in Korea produce most of their electricity by burning fossil fuels, and emit approximately 28[%] of national $CO_2$ emissions. Monitoring the $CO_2$ emissions. Monitoring the $CO_2$ emission of electric power plants is very important. This paper presents a method to calculate the hourly $CO_2$ emission for a thermal power plant burning mixture of coal and oil using the performance test data and coal-oil mix rate. An example of $CO_2$ emission calculation is also demonstrated.

  • Recently, the gradual increase in energy acceptance is mostly satisfied by fossil fuels, but research and development of renewable energy sources are attracting attention due to fossil fuel supply and greenhouse gas problem. The disadvantage is that renewable energy can not be produced continuously. This being so, energy storage is an important technology in renewable energy. In this study, microwave was used to convert carbon receptor-carbon dioxide to gas fuel.

  • The economy of I.R.Iran is so related to oil that has had many environmental problems especially air pollution in urban areas in recent years. Statistics show that most of the time, the condition of air quality is in crisis level especially during fall and winter seasons. Rapid and high population growth has had large amount of fossil fuels consumption in all sectors including transportation, industry, agriculture, residential and commercial and public services and air pollution and healthy problems. Iran's abundance of fossil fuel resources has tended to discourage the country's incentive to shift to cleaner alternative energy sources for its energy needs that must be considered in future programming. These are discussed in this paper.

  • Currently, fossil resources are depleting rapidly. We are looking for energy to replace fossil fuels. They are trying to use electricity to replace internal combustion locomotives. Secondary battery raw materials and chemical additives are pulverized by the high-speed rotation of the grinding disc of the Classifier Separator Mill. Grinding Disc Assembly requires characteristics to withstand abrasion, corrosion, high-speed rotational force and impact. Domestic and foreign grinding discs were analyzed through abrasion resistance, hardness, bending strength, and tensile adhesion strength tests.
