Energy Reflection

The universe is all made up from energy. It is obtained in different ways from our Planet, but it is out there and in there everywhere, we transform it in many types.

We transform some materials into energy, they are our fuels, trought combustion in thermic power generation fo instance.

Combustibles are diverse. There is a wide variety of fosil fuels for each particular use. It has been developed biocombustibles and renewable sources for energy generation.

There are ecofriendly fosil fuels as well, fosil fuels can be treated in order to diminish its impact to the environment. Natural gas for example is naturally clean, ligh gas, sulphur and nitrogen free. Liquid conventional fuels can also be greener, in modern refineries gasoline, diesel and jet fuel can be treated to reduce sulphur and nitrogen content, reducing aromatics or any other nondesired componen as well.

Renewable energy is continously developing  and its importance lays on the need to produce more energy as the demand is exponentially growing. 

The sun light is one of the most studied and developed energy source, it is inexhaustible and has zero impact to the environment. The technology involved has improved a lot the last ten years. There is no need to sun shine or direct light to get the sun energy, simply by getting difuse energy it is possible to obtain and store clean energy. It is still always a challenge to reduce the area of solar panels. Sun's energy is there every time of the year, a colosal amount of energy it catched, might supply the entire planet.
