generation device. It is not only adding the ability to deliver power from vehicle to the grid, but also can apply the power flow (Lund & Kempton, 2008). V2G technology provides potential solutions to energy storage and stabilization. It can benefit in peak load shifting, smoothing variable generation from renewable energy, and providing distributed energy storage capacity (Peterson et al., 2010).. Electric vehicles have two fundamental characteristics: one is they are vehicles and other is they…
BP and the Gulf of Mexico oil spill (case analysis) BP is a multinational oil and gas company. This company is headquartered in London, UK. Not so long ago, this company has faced one of the world’s worst environmental tragedies. After its explosion in April 20th, 2010, the company’s situation had kept on getting worse and worse. The communication problem is that the crisis team that Tony Hayward (the CEO of BP) prepared to find solutions to the issue isn’t making much progress. Each month…
In the days before industrialization, climate change, carbon emissions and rising temperatures were not global issues. Back then, people were concerned more with the Bubonic plague or the Crusades, instead of their EVs and solar roofs. But obviously, the times have changed. In the mid-eighteenth century, also known as the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, there were roughly 700 million people on the Earth, compared to estimates of over seven billion in 2015 (McLamb). Much of the economic…
All four of these things can measure the distribution of energy and determine if in fact by 2030 there will be “universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services” (7.1) 7.2 Eco footprint and eco system can help measure due to the fact that by monitoring the eco footprint it can be seen what is being wasted and where improvements can be made in order to “share of renewable energy in the global energy mix” (7.2). And the Ecosystem services in turn can be regulated… 7.3 For the…
Over the past couple of decades, a global oil crisis has gradually developed. Oil usage worldwide has increased significantly over the years and the supply of oil is not meeting the fully meeting the high demands. Oil is an essential non renewable natural resource that is used for many daily activities. In order to avoid running out of oil in the near future, it is essential to manipulate and maneuver the available oil in a wise manner. However, even with this in mind, many people in the modern…
Imagine walking threw a big city like New York in the middle of the afternoon. You look up and see midnight black smog that is covering the city. How would you feel not being able to see any rays of sunlight? Well, the fact that global warming has been happening for decades isn’t something new. In fact, in some cities around the word air pollution is so bad that most people are unable to walk around without an air pollution mask. Yet with the public focus in the modern world on pollution, ways…
Phase Three is centered on becoming more energy efficiency and increasing the use of solar energy so that the increasing population will have adequate energy supplies should non-renewable energy sources become depleted. Energy efficiency can be improved by setting stricter guidelines for energy use for corporations and local businesses. These guidelines should be well enforced. Being energy efficient saves money spent on energy costs, and reduces pollution emissions. Additionally, solar panels…
gas and oil costs changed and additionally they have made everything else go up in expense. The normal expense for fundamental things and the way that people are living is influenced by these expanding costs. In this paper I will analyze the different ways that these expenses are impacting standard life. The way that everyone has changed things in there life would be transportation and business costs. Gas Prices have changed an impressive measure consistently and it is from every angle growing…
exploration, and the goal for Petrobras was to become a world class oil producer. Petrobras began to see success in the 1980s when they developed deep water and ultra-deep oil production. This new technology increased their oil production to 600,000 bpd by 1987, an increase from 3000 bpd in 1953. Despite their new technology and expertise in deep water production, Petrobras was highly bureaucratic and slow to react. Experts estimated that their upstream…
