Ecological Impact of Industrial Energy Engr. Dr. Muhammad Nawaz Iqbal

Using systems ecology and industrial ecology approaches, rapidly expanding technology can enable a shift of energy generation, water and waste management, and food production toward improved environmental and energy usage standards. There has been a surge in the commercialization of many renewable energy sources in recent years. Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, which cause Global changes to the land surface, such as deforestation, have a warming effect resulting warming effect, and increasing concentrations of aerosols that cause a cooling effect are among the main human activities that contribute to global warming, according to scientific consensus.
To support the soil resource, a part of the biomass should be kept on site. Raw biomass is the most common type. However, treated biomass is also an alternative. If the exported biomass is used to make syngas, the process can also be utilized to make biochar, a type of low-temperature charcoal that can be used as a soil additive. Boost soil organic matter to levels not possible with less refractory organic carbon. Land-use changes, which have the potential to create much more emissions than burning fossil fuels alone, are a common criticism leveled towards biodiesel. However, algal biofuel, which can be produced on terrain that is unsuitable for agriculture, could solve this problem. Rapeseed and sunflower oil biodiesel emit 45 percent to 65 percent fewer greenhouse gases than petro-diesel, assuming current production methods and no changes in land usage. However, there is research being done to improve the efficiency of the system. The manufacturing process is underway. Biodiesel made from discarded cooking oil or other waste fat has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 85%. Coal combustion has serious health consequences. According to a report published by the World Health Organization in 2008, coal particle pollution claims the lives of around 10,000 people each year around the world. Coal power is 10–100 times more hazardous than electricity generated from natural gas by hydraulic fracturing, owing to the amount of particulate matter exhaled during combustion.
During the extraction, processing, and transportation of oil and gas, large amounts of toxic and non-toxic waste are produced. When incorrectly managed, a few by-products of industry, such as volatile organic compounds and nitrogen and sulfur compounds, and spilled oil, can pollute the air, water, and soil to dangerous levels. Petroleum enables various consumer chemicals and products, such as fertilizers and plastics, in addition to fuels like gasoline and liquefied natural gas. Because of its wide range of applications, most alternative energy generation, transportation, and storage technologies can only be achieved now.
Natural gas is generally referred to be the cleanest fossil fuel because it emits less CO2 per joule supplied than coal or oil, as well as significantly fewer contaminants than other fossil fuels. In absolute terms, however, it contributes significantly to global carbon emissions, and this amount is expected to increase.
Electric power systems are made up of various energy generating plants, transmission networks, and distribution lines. Each of these components can have an impact on the environment at various stages of their creation and use, including during building, energy generation, and decommissioning and disposal. Operational impacts (fuel sourcing, global atmospheric and regional pollutants) and construction consequences can be separated (manufacturing, installation, decommissioning, and disposal.
The health risks and greenhouse gas emissions connected with nuclear fission power are much lower than those associated with coal, oil, and gas. However, if containment fails, which can happen in nuclear reactors due to overheated fuels melting and releasing massive amounts of fission products into the environment, there is a “catastrophic danger.”n
