What Can Education Do In The Green Energy Revolution?

Date:

We can improve cultural energy efficiency through education and information. Examples include civic education or the organization of specific courses that provide training on green energy and energy efficiency. Some education and training programs can help spread excellent practice and encourage collaborative work on these themes throughout a broad spectrum of lifetime learning.

Education can do a great deal in the Green Energy revolution because it is the pillar of every society. Research shows that we should pay attention to public campaigns and energy efficiency promotions.

Educational programs that provide clear information on how to save money on energy while encouraging customers to take action can affect perceptions and lead to actions.

We can identify three types of actions:

  1. Delivering information to citizens on how to reduce the consumption of energy in households
  2. Supplying information to industrial consumers
  3. Providing information to energy efficiency experts and service providers to ensure the existence 

The people and public should be aware of energy-efficient possibilities in their homes. They can start using, for example, efficient lighting and heating and making reasonable purchasing decisions. 

It should not be difficult to persuade customers that by taking a few easy steps, the average household may save a significant amount of money, which is especially essential for households who spend a significant portion of their budget on energy.

The important role in this chain is the industry that has a major impact on the environment. 

The last pillar in our three-step action is the service provider who helps both industries and individuals to be more energy efficient. 

Are Information and Education two
underutilized resources in Green Energy?

Information and education are indeed two underutilized resources widely available today for an energy revolution. In most countries, there is insufficient funding to provide extra education in this field.

The annual improvement in energy efficiency during the 90s was 1.4% per year. However, this rate has fallen, and it is now 0.5 percent, indicating that the existing efforts and information are insufficient.

Anyone who asks any teacher will tell you that all teachers, on this planet, are underpaid. As a result, we have worsening education as well as insufficient funds for extracurricular activities.

As in all new things, in the green revolution, too, the first step should be education. Knowledge is power. The right information at the right time is worth its weight in gold. If people on planet earth knew how to use energy such as the sun, which is inexhaustible, they would rely less on non-renewable energy sources.

What are Signs a Green Energy Education Revolution Is Coming?

The signs a Green Energy Education revolution is coming are: the renewable energy sector expands and evolves, schools become more eco-friendly, people are encouraged to recycle more, and a lot of upcoming conferences, summer/winter schools, books, etc. 

Even the internet is full of eco sticker that helps us make a difference about recyclable products. 

The EU energy policy aims to remedy any mistaken development steps using biomass or related technology. It is often the case with unsustainable biomass harvesting, excessive use of fossil fuels in the final product (due to transportation, secondary transformation, etc. ), species extinction, or conflict with food production chains.

It does, however, add uncertainty to the nonrenewable energy market, forcing participants to actively monitor new knowledge and analysis as it becomes available. It is a fairly identifiable general tendency toward the use of green energy with deteriorating properties for further processing, and a desire to reduce the negative consequences.

It is a well-known general trend toward the utilization of degraded biomass for further processing and a desire to lessen the negative influence on food production chains.

What is green energy future?

The future of green energy lies mostly in solar energy as well as in the recycling of existing materials. Solar energy has so many of these reserves, not just in that a large area can be covered.

New emerging technologies based on Solar Panels are already conquering the world. Renewable energy reserves are often estimated for exploitation, and it is necessary to recycle existing materials.

Because there will soon be no non-renewable sources, this percentage should rise dramatically. The sun should be used as the most abundant source of energy that will never run out.

Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The topicality of the concept of sustainable development is especially contributed by the challenges that come with a vulnerable environment. 

Some of these challenges are:

  • Global warming,
  • Ozone depletion,
  • The greenhouse effect,
  • The disappearance of forests,
  • Conversion of fertile land into deserts,
  • Occurrence of acid rain,
  • Extinction of animal and plant species.

As a result, EU countries, and many other countries, have opted for their strategies of energy development and environmental protection to incorporate plans to improve energy efficiency and establish a legislative framework in which these plans will be implemented. 

Buildings have become a particularly important industry for the EU in terms of satisfying greenhouse gas reduction obligations under the Kyoto Protocol.

Where to find Renewable Energy Information For Students?

Only Green Tech provides free information about Renewable energy, Green energy, Sustainability, Recycling, etc., information for students. There are Scientific magazines that you can find online but they are paid versions. 

United Nations also provides a lot of information about sustainability. Read more here. 

Energy efficiency means using less energy (energy) to perform

of the same job or function (space heating or cooling, lighting, production of various products, vehicle propulsion, etc.)

It is important to point out that energy efficiency must not be achieved viewed as energy saving, because saving always implies certain sacrifices, while effective use of energy never disturbs working and living conditions. 

On the contrary, improved efficiency in the use of energy results in its reduced consumption for the same amount of products or services, which ultimately brings in cash savings
