Sources of energy production
Coal is the major source of energy production
Most of power generated in todays world is by thermal
power plants.
The major threat that we are facing today is that the
fossil fuel are non renewable .
The coal sources will gradual end in next 30-40 years i.e.
Around 2050 .
So there is a need to switch on the convention sources of
energy like wind, solar etc.
 But our Presentation will
mainly focus on the future
sources of energy
There are many advancement in the research field.
Scientists are developing newer and newer fuels or
sources of energy.
We shall lay emphasis on the following topics

Algae Fuel
 Introduction
The term "algae" refers to a great diversity of
organismsfrom microscopic cyanobacteria to giant
kelp.
Most algae convert sunlight into energy in a similar
manner as plants; however, the genetic diversity of
the many different kinds of algae gives researchers
an incredible number of unique properties that can
be harnessed to develop promising algal biofuel
technologies.
How they used as a fuel ?
Algae are growth in tanks.
CO2 gas are passed.
Transesterification take place with the algae
The glycerin and methyl ester is formed
This methly ester is known as a bio diesel. That can
be used as fuel in diesel engine along with the
ethanol so as to increase its yield.
Glycerine produced can be used in soap
manufacturing.
Production of algae Fuel
 Pros and cons
Pros
It is bio degradable fuel. Also it produces very little
or least amount of pollution.
The major requirement for this fuel is the use is the
growth of algae. And this algae can easily be grow in
moist and marshy conditions.
The calorific value from these types of fuel is quiet
high.
It can be easily transport for one place to the another
in barrels or containers.
 Cons
During the growth of the algae fuel the major
requirement is the need of the open pond and the
CO2 is pumped in these ponds, which causes the
contamination of O2 present in the pond and the
marine level is effected.
Major of companies are not ready for excepting it a a
fuel for their vehicles. Like mercedes bezr e 330 used
it in 2008, but the results as compared to the deisels
are not impressive.
The Spherical sun power plant
 Introduction
An German architect Andre Broessel believes he
has a solution that can squeeze more juice out of
the sun, even during the night hours and in low-
light region.
His technology will combine spherical geometry
principles with a dual axis tracking system,
allowing twice the yield of a conventional solar
panel in a much smaller surface area.
Working principle
Advantages and Uses
It can work in diffused light
conditions
It can work even in the
night time.
It can be installed in very
compact space
Tulip shaped solar plant
 Introduction
It is installed in Ethiopia by Ethiopias Minister of
Water, Irrigation and Energy.
It will be started by mid 2016 . The plant is already set
up.
It is solar gas based power plant.
 Working
This power plant is based on a tulip based solar source.
The solar panels are connected in such a way that they
receive the sunlight as well as the light from the tulip
shaped sources.
The power are generated using the photovoltaic cells.
A lens in the tulip-shaped tower receives concentrated
solar rays that are reflected off of 50 mirrors. Behind the
lens, the 1000 Celsius temperature is used to heat the
pressurized air, resulting in a hot pressurized gas. This
gas is then used to turn the blades of a turbine to
generate electricity. The mirrors are synchronized to
constantly follow the suns rays, directing the light
toward the towers lens at all times.
Hydrogen Fuel
Is Hydrogen is a good
alternative to replaces fossil
fuels ?
Challenges In Hydrogen Fuel

High Energy content by Weight.

Low Energy content by Volume.
Highly Reactive.
Not Economical & Reliable.
New Tech. In Hydrogen Eco.
Photo-electrolysis(photolysis)
Hydrogen Generation With
The Help Of NANO-TECH.
Scientists Discovered A New Material
called Mg NANO-COMPOSITES.
Works on Room Temp. .
Better Design for H2 storage , Batteries &
fuels.
Hydrogen fuel In India
Any questions?
