“In the end we will conserve onlywhat we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we have been taught.” – Baba Dioum
Energyand the Environment Part I CES August 2010 Prof. R. Shanthini Dept of Chemical & Process Engineering Faculty of Engineering University of Peradeniya
Learning Objectives • Describe the major energy technologies • Assess the impact of the use of energy from the environmental (ecological) point of view • Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of - energy sufficiency (conservation) - energy efficiency - energy security and - sustainability issues
Global primary energy consumption in 2006 ≈ 15.8 TW = 15.8 x 1012 W Global population in 2006 ≈ 6.56 billion Global energy consumption per person in 2006 15.8 x 1012 W 6.56 x 109 ≈ 2.4 kW ≈ Source: International Energy Annual 2006 (posted Dec 19, 2008) http://www.eia.doe.gov/iea/

Waste heat from power plant can be used for domestic or industrial heating purposes. It is known as cogeneration, and efficiency can be increased up to 80% in cogeneration applications. Discussion Point 1: What are the possibility for cogeneration applications in Sri Lanka? Take 05 mins.
50% - 70% lost in producing electricity 2% - 20% lost in transmitting electricity Generation, transmission and end-use losses
Typical energy losses in an industrialised country Electric power sector 70% energy losses Transport sector 80% energy losses Residential & Commercial sector 25% energy losses Industrial sector 20% energy losses
