Green technology aims to promote sustainability by meeting society's needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It seeks to curb global warming caused by human activities like fossil fuel use and deforestation by reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This can be achieved through improved energy efficiency, use of renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydro power, and adoption of clean technologies. The presentation provided examples of green technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, and hydroelectric dams that generate renewable energy as well as more efficient gas turbines and green building designs.
2. Technology : Application of knowledge
for practical purposes
Purpose of Green Technology
is to promote Sustainability
What is Green Technology?
Part 1
3. Meeting present needs of the society
without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own
needs.
Curb the negative effects of human
activity Global Warming
Sustainable development
Part 1
4. What causes global warming?
Global warming is largely the result
of emissions of carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gases from
human activities including
industrial processes,
fossil fuel combustion,
and changes in land use, such as
deforestation.Part 1
6. What do we see happening?
Melting away ice glaciers
Less ice for the polar bears
Drought in some countries
High water and frequent storms
Part 1
8. How to Reduce CO2 emission
Improve Energy Efficiency
Use Renewable Energy
Replacement of Coal Power Plants
Introduction of Clean Technologies
Smart Building Designs (heating,
cooling, lighting)
Alternative transport fuel ……….
Part 2
9. Energy Conservation/Efficiency
Turn off the power while not using the
appliance
Switch to more efficient lamps
Keep idle computer on standby
Lower the thermostat when leaving a room
Part 2
10. Energy Conservation/Efficiency
Turn off the power supply when not in use
Use high quality labeled products
Recycle paper, plastic, glass and metal
Turn off the gas when not in use

22. Hydro power
In the early days water wheels where used for grinding
Hydro-power is from stored energy of water
Large lakes make reservoirs
Turbines make electricity from water

28. Energy Efficiency using Combined Cycle Gas
Turbine (CCGT)
A gas turbine followed by a steam turbine (using the
exhausted waste heat of gas turbine)
Efficiencies can go up to 60%
But, 52% is standard
