Energy Industry
Traditional Energy Industry The energy produced is classified according to the sources used, the one generated by the exploitation of non-renewable sources, such as oil, coal and natural gas, is considered "Traditional". Involuntary combustion of these substances can represent a high risk of explosion. The thermoelectric plants were the first types of plants in use. In them, a fuel (derivatives of oil, coal or gas, waste) is burned in order to develop heat; this heat is transmitted to a boiler, in which high pressure water circulates which is thus transformed into steam, useful for operating the turbine. These plants have a strong environmental impact due to emissions to air and residues, in particular coal-fired plants and, to a lesser extent, other types of plants (oil and waste) and, even less, in gas-fired plants. |  |
Green Energy Industry Renewable energy sources (informally renewable energy) are energy sources obtained from renewable natural resources such as sunlight, wind, tides, waves and geothermal heat. Renewable resources have many advantages, among which the most important is certainly the absence of polluting emissions during their use. The renewable energy sources are: solar radiation (to produce chemical energy, thermal energy and electricity) the wind (source of mechanical energy and electricity) biomass (combustion, in special plants for thermal generation and cogeneration of heat and electricity) tides and sea currents in general the storage of water at high altitude (hydroelectric energy) |

Nuclear Energy Industry Nuclear industry is a new comprehensive industrial sector for the development and utilization of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy can be converted into electric energy, heat energy and mechanical power to obtain safe, clean energy with high calorific value, and various radioisotope products, isotope instruments and radiation technologies can be provided to play a special role in radiation processing, food preservation, medical diagnosis, etc; It has greatly promoted the development of metallurgy, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing, electronics, radiation chemistry, nuclear medicine, nuclear electronics and other fields. |
