Sustainable, clean and convinient alternative energy !

Fores :
I manage to view some article on the word leading giant oil company resently - "SHELL". They are keen to educate the new generation and promote the new alternative energy after their fuel gas product. They know that the fossil fuels will be finish one day and the impact of the global warming will become worst with todays situation. An alternative energy solution should be provoke widely. As far as my understanding, SHELL is the first oil company to have a big skill of research on the bio-fuel in the world.

Energy, energy everywhere and all for the taking – but how best to take it? Fossil fuels will likely remain the world’s main energy source for many decades to come, but at the same time, sustainable, clean and convenient energy sources will increasingly be needed to meet growing demand.

Biofuels
Enzymes eating away at straw. Oil squeezed from algae. Or wood chips turned to liquid. These are just some of the technical programs Shell is pursuing in developing better biofuels that could see CO2 reductions and a sustainable alternative fuel source that doesn’t compete with food crops.

Wind
Wind power is one of the cleanest sources of energy available. It’s also renewable and plentiful.

Solar
The sun is continually beaming abundant energy to the Earth as light, and for centuries people have captured solar radiation and converted it into useful power using a number of technologies. Shell, too, has been investigating and developing technologies designed to capture and use these plentiful, carbon-free rays. Solar panels have long provided an answer, but now technology developments have moved their design forward, making them increasingly affordable as well as less dependent on silicon. CIS or ‘thin film solar’ greatly simplifies the production process and results in a smooth black panel that absorbs the sun’s power, even in low light.

Hydrogen
Hydrogen, the simplest element in the universe and the most plentiful gas on earth is being developed into energy through a clever process of steam reformation.
Often touted as being “as clean as water” and the “fuel of the future,” high hopes are held for hydrogen power - from running your car, to heating your home.
Our technology focus at Shell is on learning as much as possible about hydrogen refueling and how to meet future customer needs. This means hydrogen will initially be obtained mainly from natural gas, but ultimately we expect to produce hydrogen from renewables, such as wind, solar and, one day, biomass.
