Breaking our dependence on the limited fossil fuel resources Substantial environmental Reasons Renewable energy source

Renewable and Nonrenewable Energy Sources All the fossil fuels(coal, oil, natural gas, shale oil, tar sands, etc. ) Uranium-235 nuclear fission fuel, deuterium nuclear fusion fuel, and some other types of geothermal energy The time to exhaust a nonrenewable resource depends on the rate of use and size of the resource It is likely that most forms of nonrenewable energy will get more expensive when they are near exhaustion We have only three sources of renewable energy: Solar, geothermal, and tidal All energy sources based on the solar energy incident on earth-direct sunlight wind, hydroelectric power, ocean currents, ocean thermal gradients, and biomass are renewable The energy in the oceans tides has its origin in the gravitational interaction between the earth and the moon and to a lesser extent between the earth and the sun The more renewable energy we use, the cheaper it will be 复旦大学环境科学与工程系 Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Fudan University

Renewable and Nonrenewable Energy Sources All the fossil fuels(coal, oil, natural gas, shale oil, tar sands, etc.), Uranium-235 nuclear fission fuel, deuterium nuclear fusion fuel, and some other types of geothermal energy. The time to exhaust a nonrenewable resource depends on the rate of use and size of the resource. It is likely that most forms of nonrenewable energy will get more expensive when they are near exhaustion. We have only three sources of renewable energy: Solar, geothermal, and tidal. All energy sources based on the solar energy incident on earth – direct sunlight, wind, hydroelectric power, ocean currents, ocean thermal gradients, and biomass, are renewable. The energy in the oceans’ tides has its origin in the gravitational interaction between the earth and the moon, and to a lesser extent, between the earth and the sun. The more renewable energy we use, the cheaper it will be

The solar Constant is given by the area under the dashed curve. The sharp dips in the solid line are due to absorption of certain wavelengths by various atmospheric gases, including water vapor and carbon dioxide (Adapted from On the Nature and Distribution of solar Radiation, Watt Engineering, Washington, D.

Absorption and scattering of solar radiation in the atmosphere. The values shown are average weather, and are averaged over all seasons and latitudes. On average, we see that 47% (17%+24%+6%) of the solar power incident on the upper atmosphere reaches the ground and can be utilized in some fashion

We can get the average on the horizontal area 12 cal/min cm2*47%=164 W/m2 This is the average value for a 24 hour day The average for an 8-hour day centered about noon is much larger. An optimistic but still reasonable estimate could be about 600W/m2 which is about 1520 Btw/ft2 Let's estimate the gross amount of solar energy incident on the US in a year. (The area of US is 3.615X 106 mile 2) The total is 5.6X1019 Btu/year. which is about 600 times the total energy consumed in US in1996(938X10 Btu) 复旦大学环境科学与工程系 Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Fudan University

We can get the average on the horizontal area : ½ cal/min∙cm2 * 47% = 164 W/m2 This is the average value for a 24 hour day. The average for an 8-hour day centered about noon is much larger. An optimistic, but still reasonable, estimate could be about 600W/m2, which is about 1520 Btu/ft2. Let’s estimate the gross amount of solar energy incident on the US in a year.
