Qns 2:With the help of your answer in Qns 1,

how will a country be affected if it is forced to

reduce all these to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions?
Must use terms: energy, development, population growth

Qns 3: Consider the following data sources.

Why are some countries reluctant to use renewable
energy instead of burning fossil fuels?


In 2012, Singapore produced

46 900 000 MWh of energy for use



NATURAL GAS
Cost: US$87 per MWh



SOLAR ENERGY
Cost: US$116 per MWh

Require open areas that are not
cloudy and consistently sunny to be
effective
NATURAL GAS
Cost: US$87 per MWh



SOLAR ENERGY

NATURAL GAS
Cost: US$87 per MWh

Require open areas that are

very windy to be effective
WIND ENERGY



SOLAR ENERGY

NATURAL GAS
Cost: US$87 per MWh
Cost: US$48 per MWh


WIND ENERGY HYDROPOWER
Cost: US$48 per MWh

Require huge rivers to ﬂood a lot of
land after building dams.

Qns 4: Base on your answer in Qns 3, suggest one
way countries can be encouraged to use other
sources of energy instead of fossil fuels.
SOLAR ENERGY

Cost: US$48 per MWh


WIND ENERGY HYDROPOWER
