What is the energy mix in the UK 2011?
In 2011 the energy mix was as follows: - Natural gas: 41% - Coal: 29% - Nuclear: 18% - Renewables: 9% - Other: 3%.
What is thirty five percent of the world's commercial energy produced from?
Oil 35% Coal 24% Gas 20% Nuclear 6% Renewables 15%.
How nuclear energy is green in comparison with Solar?
solar is betr
Energy sources other than fossil fuel are called what kind of resources?
They are called renewables. (though strictly, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel and is not renewable).They are called alternative energy sources.
What is the differences between radiant and nuclear energy?
what is the differences between nuclear energy and radiant energy
What describes the energy resources of the US?
America's energy resources can be described as nuclear, fossil, solar, renewables, wind, and water. Many of these energy sources are still relatively new but show promise as alternatives to fossil fuels.
What type of energy in a uranium in reactors?
This is the energy of nuclear fission.The energy of fission is gigantic by comparison with the energy of fossil fuels.
What is America's main energy source?
Petroleum - 37.1%, Natural Gas - 23.8%, Coal - 22.5%, Nuclear - 8.5%, and Renewables (Hydroelectric, Solar, Wind, Wood) - 7.3%.
What energy source releases the least amount of greenhouse gasses?
Renewable energy releases the least amount of greenhouse gas per kilowatt. After renewables come nuclear which is greenest. It has other issues though.
How much renewable electricity can you expect to use in the future?
Scenarios for the future of renewable energy through 2050 are reviewed to explore how much renewable energy is considered possible or desirable and to inform policymaking. Existing policy targets for 2010 and 2020 are also reviewed for comparison. Common indicators are shares of primary energy, electricity, heat, and transport fuels from renewables. Global, Europe-wide, and country-specific scenarios show 10% to 50% shares of primary energy from renewables by 2050. By 2020, many targets and scenarios show 20% to 35% share of electricity from renewables, increasing to the range 50% to 80% by 2050 under the highest scenarios. Carbon-constrained scenarios for stabilization of emissions or atmospheric concentration depict trade-offs between renewables, nuclear power, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) from coal, most with high energy efficiency. Scenario outcomes differ depending on degree of future policy action, fuel prices, carbon prices, technology cost reductions, and aggregate energy demand, with resource constraints mainly for biomass and biofuels.
What is the differences between potential energy and nuclear energy?
potential energy is stored energy. nuclear energy is radioactive
What is the main difference between between chemical and nuclear energy?
Chemical energy refers to forces between atoms; nuclear energy, to forces within the nucleus of individual atoms.Chemical energy refers to forces between atoms; nuclear energy, to forces within the nucleus of individual atoms.Chemical energy refers to forces between atoms; nuclear energy, to forces within the nucleus of individual atoms.Chemical energy refers to forces between atoms; nuclear energy, to forces within the nucleus of individual atoms.
