THE TRAVEL OF ENERGY THROUGH TIME Elina Aunbaum Kristi Uibo Kristi Veskemaa Jelena Jerastova
Energy use few decades ago Oil shale energy Oil shale energy Oil shale is sedimentary rock, brought million years ago is used for generating electricity or producing synthetical oil Quarried in mines As long as oil shale is found in Estonia, it is used for generating energy
Generating energy from burning waste The calorific value of waste is compared with the calorific value of oil shale It helps to reduce dumping waste Effective opportunity for generating energy and heat together
Nuclear power Uses nuclear fission energy Ascribed as an economical and perspective energy Building power stations is very expensive May cause big environmental problems Dumping radioactive waste is a big problem Estonia wants to participate in Lithuanian project (new nuclear power station) Year to build power station - output 60MW
Alternative energy Alternative energy Hydroenergy Wind energy Solar energy Biomass energy Hydrogen energy Hydrogen energy Safe and gainful Research in process
Role of energy in everyday life People use in everyday life People use in everyday life Heat energy (electical, oil, stove, gas, coal, peat ) Electricity Natural energy (petroleum, oil shale, wind energy, solar energy) Chemical energy (batteries)
The role of energy in future Need of energy enlarges three times Environmental problems insist of changing energy Main source of energy – nuclear power Using natural resources- coal, oil shale, peat e.t.c.
Bigger accent to recovering energy Building windparks, hydroelectric plants, solarpanels Estonia has enough recovering energy Do not depend on oil shale energy Combined energy- alternative energy + natural resources More and more use recovering energy
Use of energy in future Oil shale energy Generating energy from burning waste Nuclear power Biomass energy Alternative energy Hydrogen energy
Alternative sources of energy Solar energy Wind energy Biomass energy Hydroenergy
Biomass energy Energy produced from wood, brushwood, canebrake e.t.c. Sufficient resources ( half of territory is woodland) Time of recovering is quite short
Hydroenergy Quite cheap, environmentally friendly In Estonia no big rivers
Wind energy Quite big resources Environmentally friendly Dependance from nature, weather
Solar energy Environmentally friendly Can not be used in Estonia in winter
