Year: 2019
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Regarding that a whopping 67% of the electricity share by fuel type of the World’s energy production comes from burning fossil fuels (figure 1), unsustainable sources that are being depleted faster than ever as a result of increased demand worldwide with the release of greenhouse and flue gasses, it is no surprise to see the devastating environmental consequences and the creation of an alarming situation that needs our dire attention. As a result, renewable energy production responses such as solar, wind, hydro and bio-energy gained “popularity”, however, they can be unreliable and unevenly distributed. As a response, other alternatives such as nuclear fusion was considered.
