Role of energy technologies in response to climate change

Abstract

Several crises have gripped the world, clearly showing how vulnerable our energy supply is. However, emissions from industrial and energy applications have threatened our future with climate change. There is a need to redesign our strategies on energy policies. The present energy generation methods have sustained us for a long time, but they seem unsustainable for future energy demands. This energy supply and production could soon collapse if it keeps going on. It will affect not only humans but the whole planet. The primary purpose of this study is to look for new ideas that will help us produce ample energy and consider their impacts on the environment. We could alleviate this energy deficiency problem by involving the frequent use of renewable energy technologies as they do not rely on fuels and seem eco-friendly. However, before initiating any project, their impact on the environment needs extensive research. Some of the possible improvements in some present methods of energy generation were studied and mentioned. The improvement in materials used for energy applications could result in enhanced efficiency. Despite the technological advances we have, there are many challenges before us. Efficiencies of renewable energy technologies could be increased by upgrading the required equipment and infrastructure. Ensuring a mix of reliable energy production methods and ensuring minimal impact on the environment would lead us in the future. Resilient and efficient energy production will sustain our future energy demands at a low cost. Hydrogen can be viewed as an alternative fuel. It contains the highest energy content per unit weight and should be included in energy applications. There is no doubt that another war or crisis would severely affect fossil fuel-based economies. Because of such concerns, the global trend of using fossil fuels has changed. Increasingly, countries are investing in other renewable energy sources. Several challenges await us before we can implement the new changes to our energy infrastructure. In an uncertain future, our priority should be how to produce enough clean energy. The time has come to create new plans for the future of energy, minimize carbon emissions and consider the environmental consequences of these actions. There are many questions regarding climate change and energy supply which we will be covering in this report.
