Green Tech

Green technology is a general umbrella term that includes various techniques, products, procedures, and systems that are dedicated to environmental friendliness. This is in addition to energy efficiency, which is part of green technology. The overall goal of green technology is to prevent or reduce the effects of greenhouse gas on the environment. Green technology, green science, or environmental engineering is the application of any of the following environmental sciences, green chemistry, ecological monitoring, and electronics to monitor, study and conserve the environment and its resources, and also to minimize the negative effects of human influence on the environment.

One such important technique is ‘sustainable technology’. Sustainable technology recognizes and promotes a shift from traditional forms of energy and development to newer more sustainable forms such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and hydroelectricity. It is based on the idea that the sources of energy and other resources will not be exhausted. Renewable means that there will always be an inexhaustible supply of energy and material for use. Examples of sustainable technology include wind power for electricity and heating, solar power and microelectronics, passive solar design, geothermal heating, recycling of waste materials, sustainable architecture, and many others.

Another example of sustainable technology is ‘green technologies for electric vehicles. Green technology for electric vehicles (EV) refers to the use of clean electric motors, low-emission engines, design, and manufacturing that allow greater efficiency than traditional gasoline engines. A high-efficiency electric vehicle will be able to consume much less fuel and release little pollution than its less efficient, less green alternative, a conventionally powered vehicle.

The third example of very sustainable technology is clean energy, meaning energy produced with no added pollutants. Some of the most popular examples of clean energy include wind power, solar energy, and geothermal energy. Consistent use of these clean technologies can reduce or even eliminate fossil fuels from being used for producing energy.

On a smaller scale, some examples of green technology would include solar panels, small wind turbines, and water wheels. On a grand scale, a space exploration mission to bring mining to an end could also use such clean technologies. This mission would use the energy provided by a variety of green technologies. It might use the power of the sun, the wind, and the thermal radiation of space to power up various systems. Such a mission also uses the knowledge and expertise of astronauts to take advantage of all-natural resources.

One of the greatest advantages of using sustainable, green technology in an effort to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gases is that we can do it ourselves. There are very few major outside factors that can significantly increase fuel consumption or pollution levels. For instance, the main contributors to global warming are the emissions from the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. Although governments do attempt to control which types of green technology are utilized, there is no way to stop the sun from burning into the blackness of space or to control the wind to keep it from swaying our planet’s climate. Therefore, utilizing clean energy production, solar power, geothermal heat pumps, and other sustainable technologies is your best option for reducing the environmental impacts of your lifestyle.
