Environmental Technology
Environmental Technology
Environmental technology, green technology or clean technology is the application of one or more of environmental science, green chemistry, environmental monitoring and electronic devices to monitor, model and conserve the natural environment and resources, and to curb the negative impacts of human involvement.
Solar Power
Environmental Technology
Environmental Technology
Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics, indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination.
Wind Turbine
Environmental Technology
Solid Waste Management
A wind turbine is a device that converts the wind's kinetic energy into electric energy.
Solid Waste Management
Solid Waste Management
Waste management or waste disposal are all the activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal.
Water Purification
Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose.
Air Purification
There are two types of air purifying technologies, Active and Passive. Active air purifiers use ionization for cleaning the air. Passive air purification units on the other hand use air filters to remove pollutants. They are more efficient since all dust and Practical matter is permanently removed from the air and collected in the filters
Environmental Remediation
Environmental Remediation
Environmental Remediation
Environmental remediation deals with the removal of pollution or contaminants from environmental media such as soil, groundwater, sediment, or surface water
Sewage Treatment
Environmental Remediation
Environmental Remediation
Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater, primarily from household sewage. Physical, chemical, and biological processes are used to remove contaminants and produce treated wastewater that is safer for the environment.
Bio Fuels
Environmental Remediation
A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, from prehistoric biological matter.
Hydroelectricity
Hydroelectricity is electricity produced from hydropower. In 2015 hydropower generated 16.6% of the world's total electricity and 70% of all renewable electricity, and was expected to increase about 3.1% each year for the next 25 years.
Recycling
Electric Vehicles
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. It is an alternative to "conventional" waste disposal that can save material and help lower greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling can prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, thereby reducing: energy usage, air pollution (from incineration), and water pollution (from landfilling).
Electric Vehicles
Electric Vehicles
An electric vehicle uses one or more electric motors or traction motors for propulsion. An electric vehicle may be powered through a collector system by electricity from off-vehicle sources, or may be self-contained with a battery, solar panels or an electric generator to convert fuel to electricity.
