What is renewable energy-Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources such as Solar energy, Wind energy, Hydro energy, Tidal energy, Geothermal energy, Biomass energy, heat energy and more.

# data[].attributes.body
Solar panels are panels which use the light energy to charge molecules which flow and generate electricity. This electricity can be generated with any bright enough light and these panels can be placed anywhere. Some sunlight is blocked by clouds , so in space , we can turn solar energy into waves that pass through clouds and efficiently turn into energy down at earth. Solar panels can also rotate to face the sun and generate the most electricity it can make.

A wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy by pushing the blades and the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades creates wind into electrical energy.When wind turbines are higher in the sky they generate more wind energy.

# data[].attributes.body
Hydroelectric power uses dams. A dam blocks the flow of a river and lets the potential energy build up in the river. After some time , the dam is opened using small holes at the top which let fast streams of water flow into water turbines which generate electricity out the the water’s kinetic energy.

# data[].attributes.body
Geothermal energy is a renewable energy that comes from beneath the earth’s surface. To collect geothermal energy, geothermal power plants use steam to produce electricity. Since steam is lighter than regular air, it rises up. As the steam rises up, it pushes turbines which generate electricity.

Nuclear fission uses uranium and undergoes a process in which a uranium atom is split into lighter elements and energy using a neutron. This process makes another neutron which reacts with another uranium atom , forming a chain reaction which generates a lot of electricity in the process. Nuclear energy also generates waste but technology can harness the energy from the waste and reduce its half-life. Nuclear fusion keeps stars powered. It has 2 atoms combining together instead of splitting. It doesn’t generate waste or have meltdowns. This exciting new fusion technology will start by 2025.

Tidal energy is energy harvested from the tides. When the tides cause the sea level to rise , water flows into a small passage which uses its kinetic energy and turns it to electricity. Tidal energy is used because tidal are more predictable in the long term than the sun or wind.

Pavegen (the conpany) has made tiles that turn kinetic energy from footsteps into electricity that can be used for LEDs , or anything else. This technology has been implemented over 200 times in over 35 countries to make renewable energy. In my (Ansh) opinion , it’s definitely better than having a device on every person’s knee.

I like this speech because it motivates me and the speech also supports renewable energy. It talks about how solar energy is really important for the planet and that most of our energy comes from the sun. It also explains that if we did not have the sun, then the planet would be just a ball of ice that would be between 1 to 10 degrees Celsius.

Algae chandeliers are chandeliers that have green algae inside them. The heat and light from the lamp goes to the algae and it produces oxygen during photosynthesis. The algae can also be used as biofuel when fully grown. This chandelier also has a cool green light.

Volcanic energy is when we use geothermal energy from a almost extinct volcano in order to generate electricity.
We will use grade 309 stainless steel it is waterproof, and can withstand temperatures between 0 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit and it is easy to mold/shape. The heat from the volcano boils water and turns it into steam. This steam rises up because it is less dense than the surrounding air. The steam pushes against turbines while going up , and it condenses back into water at the top. The water falls back down and the process starts all over again while the turbines generate electricity.

LO:To reflect on the first two weeks of the exhibition

During the first two weeks, we decided on our topic which was renewable energy we decided on this topic because if we don’t do something quickly then greenhouse gases will do something to our environment.
We also made our own central idea of our liking.
Next we chose our own lines of inquiry and key concepts.
Lastly, we got assigned a mentor to guide us through our exhibition.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Access to electricity and clean cooking fuels has improved in many parts of the world, but 675 million people are yet to be connected to the grids and 2.3 billion are still cooking with unsafe and polluting fuels. The war in Ukraine and global economic uncertainty continue to cause significant volatility in energy prices, leading some countries to raise investments in renewables and others to increase reliance on coal, putting the green transition at risk. If the current pace continues, about 660 million people will still lack access to electricity and close to 2 billion people will continue to rely on polluting fuels and technologies for cooking by 2030. To ensure access to energy for all by 2030, we must accelerate electrification, increase investments in renewable energy sources and invest in improving electricity grids.

* Target 7.1: The global population with access to electricity has increased from 87% in 2015 to 91% in 2021. The pace of electrification has rebounded between 2019 and 2021. However, the annual access growth of 0.6 percentage points in the recent period is lower than the 0.8 percentage points in 2015-19. As a result, 675 million people, majorly located in LDCs and sub-Saharan Africa, still lacked access in 2021.
* Target 7.1: In 2021, 71% of the global population had access to clean cooking fuels and technologies, up from 64% in 2015. In seven (all located in sub-Saharan Africa) of the 20 countries with the largest deficits, fewer than 10% of the population had access to clean fuels and technologies. The growing access deficit in sub-Saharan Africa, if not reversed, could dampen or undermine increasing trends in global access.
* Target 7.2: The share of renewable sources in total final energy consumption amounted to 19.1% globally in 2020, or 2.4 percentage points higher than in 2015. Part of this progression is due to lower final energy demand in 2020, as the pandemic disrupted social and economic activities worldwide. The electricity sector shows the largest share of renewables in total final energy consumption (28.2% in 2020) and has driven most of the growth in renewable energy use, while the heat and transport sectors have seen limited progress over the past decade.
* Target 7.3: The rate of improvement in primary energy intensity, which had already slowed in recent years, dropped to 0.6% in 2020. This makes it the worst year for energy intensity improvement since the global financial crisis. Annual improvement through 2030 must now average 3.4% to meet the target of SDG 7.3. This slowdown was influenced by a shift in the economic structure during Covid towards more energy-intensive industrial production, combined with only modest rates of technical efficiency improvements, in the context of low energy prices.
* Target 7.a: International public financial flows in support of clean energy in developing countries have a decreasing trend that started before the COVID-19 pandemic and continued through 2021. In 2021, they amounted to $10.8 billion- an 11% drop from 2020. This was 35% less than the 2010-19 decade-long average, and less than half the 2017 peak of $26.4 billion.
* Target 7.b: In 2021, there was a record-breaking installation of 268 Watts per capita of renewable capacity in developing countries, representing a year-on-year growth rate of 9.8%. However, even with this positive and accelerating growth, developing countries are not on track to meet SDG7 by 2030. Moreover, the positive global and regional trends hide the fact that the countries that are most in need of support are being left behind, even among developing countries.

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
ENERGY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

In 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include a dedicated and stand-alone goal on energy, SDG 7, calling to "ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all". Energy lies at the heart of both the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all will open a new world of opportunities for billions of people through new economic opportunities and jobs, empowered women, children and youth, better education and health, more sustainable, equitable and inclusive communities, and greater protections from, and resilience to, climate change.

HIGH-LEVEL POLITICAL FORUM 2018 IN FOCUS

At High-Level Political Forum 2018, SDG 7 was reviewed in-depth under the overall theme "Transformation towards sustainable and resilient societies". Energy-related side events wiere held on the margins of the HLPF and sponsored by Member States, UN system and other intergovernmental organizations, Major Groups and other accredited stakeholders.

Siemens Energy operates globally along nearly the entire energy value chain. Its products include gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, transformers, and compressors. The company also creates net zero energy and this is the process:Using electricity from the solar panels and excess power from gas turbine tests to run the electrolyzer, water is separated into oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen is then compressed, stored in storage tanks and coupled to the gas turbine test center.

1. 85% of all electricity is non-renewable.
2. The different sources of renewable energy are solar energy , wind energy , hydroelectricity , geothermal electricity and nuclear power , though nuclear power is dangerous if not treated carefully.
3.Renewable energy is better because it doesn’t make air pollution and it lasts forever. It also saves money in your electricity bill. It’s like buying a house VS renting a house. Renting it is cheaper but someday, the combined cost will add up to higher than the cost of buying a house.

# data[].attributes.body
3. Solar energy and wind energy are the best sources of renewable energy as geothermal energy requires heat from inside the earth, and dams might interfere with fish migration.
4. A smart city uses technology to provide services and solve problems.
5. Smart cities use info from devices like sensors to improve the infrastructure and experience for people in the city.
6. Renewable energy sources can be implemented where the energy is used , example: a solar panel on a building.

10. Mirrors in space can redirect solar power to solar panels which turn solar energy into microwaves which goes to earth and turns back into electricity.
11. Nuclear power is dangerous , and the waste generated has a half-life of thousands of years. We can turn the nuclear waste into power and reduce the half-life of the waste to 30 years.
12. Solar panels absorb light energy from the sun and turn it into energy , but solar windows only absorb the invisible light we can’t see.
13. Algae can be used as biofuel growing in dirty water
14. Wind speed is higher the higher you go , so wind turbines high in the sky produce 5x to 8x more energy
15. Nuclear fission produces power but nuclear fusion doesn’t produce any pollution and does have a threat of a meltdown.
16. Perovskite crystal tandem solar cells produce more energy , they are lighter and more cheap than tradition silicon-based solar cells ( swiftsolar.com )

Net zero

a new research center shows how we can combine hydrogen, solar power, gas turbines and renewable energy storage to build flexible, zero-carbon energy systems.

A good idea.

An extension of the Siemens Energy gas turbine test facility in Finspång, the center uses solar power and excess energy from the testing to produce hydrogen. That hydrogen is then used in turn to power the gas turbines tests, creating a closed-loop energy system that, when scaled up for industrial parks or communities, would release zero carbon emissions into the atmosphere.

Quote.

We show how hydrogen and gas turbines can be combined with renewables to achieve a sustainable energy system.”

By :Markus Jöcker, Project Manager, ZEHTC.

Net zero process:

This is how it  works: Using electricity from the solar panels and excess power from gas turbine tests to run the electrolyzer, water is separated into oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen is then compressed, stored in storage tanks and coupled to the gas turbine test center.

Expo 2020 clean energy

We’ve installed renewable energy systems with a combined total capacity of 5.5 megawatts on all permanent building projects across the Expo site. That’s enough energy to go approximately 180,000 round trips from Downtown Dubai to the Corniche in Abu Dhabi!

Solar energy and lots of it

The 4,912 solar panels on Terra – the Sustainability Pavilion’s 130-metre wide canopy and 18 Energy Trees – help.

The museum of the future.

The building is powered by 4,000 Mega Watts of electricity produced through solar energy by a new station connected to the Museum. The station was built in collaboration with Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA), making the Museum upon completion.

# data[].attributes.body
We chose SDG goal no.7 (Affordable and clean energy) as it explains our topic : Renewable energy.

# data[].attributes.body
This topic matches our central idea because if we use renewable energy it could also supply us with electricity as much as using un renewable resources.

# data[].attributes.body
We chose the topic “renewable energy” because we wanted to spread awareness about renewable energy and how it can save the earth from global warming.

# data[].attributes.body
We could have our world run on renewable energy only here is proof:’’According to a new report by LUT University in Finland and Energy Watch Group, a German nonprofit, the answer is yes”.

# data[].attributes.body
To solve this problem, people have tried raising awareness or just not using non-renewable energy but they still haven’t made a big impact. We hope that our model will convince people to stop using non-renewable energy.

# data[].attributes.body
These are our lines of inquiry:

Types of renewable energy
How many people use renewable energy
How can it impact the world.

# data[].attributes.body
Before we started this project, we knew about renewable energy but not in much detail. When we researched, we learnt more about renewable energy like how it works and even some new types of renewable energy that could save the world.
