Hello everyone :) ! Welcome to my blog on the topic of exergy
and the environment!
Energy = Exergy + Anergy
Exergy basically refers to energy that is usable, able to perform
work. Anergy refers to unusable energy. Hence, I have decided to use the term
exergy instead of energy as the title of the blog. Actually, there is another
reason why I have decided to choose this term. I felt that this less familiar term
may pique the interest of people to find out more about it and also its
relations with the environment.
The combustion of fossil fuels to generate electricity is the main
contributor to the increasing carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. This will
lead to the enhanced greenhouse effect and global warming. Global warming which
will then trigger a whole set of other adverse impacts. It can also cause air
pollution. I am really glad that we have come to recognise this string of
adverse effects and started exploring alternatives to obtain cleaner and
greener renewable energy. However, there are still many energy consumers that
have yet to make this switch as seen by the continuous increase in carbon
dioxide levels. What's stopping them?
In the following weeks, join me on exploring the transition to
cleaner and greener energy and also trying to answer the question above.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
