Energy conservation
Energy conservation is the effort to reduce wasteful energy consumption by using fewer energy services. This can be done by using energy more effectively (using less and better sources of energy for continuous service) or changing one's behavior to use less and better source of service (for example, by driving…
Energy in Ireland
Ireland is a net energy importer and remains highly dependent on fossil fuels. According to the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland's 2024 report, fossil fuels supplied 82.7% of Ireland's energy needs in 2023, while renewable energy accounted for 14.1% of primary energy, its highest share to date.
Nuclear power as sustainable energy
Whether nuclear power should be considered a form of sustainable energy or renewable energy is an ongoing subject of debate. Legal definitions of renewable energy usually exclude nuclear energy technologies, with the notable exception of the U.S. state of Utah.
Energy in North Korea
Energy in North Korea describes energy and electricity production, consumption and import in North Korea. Primary energy use in North Korea was 224 TWh and 9 TWh per million people in 2009.
Marine energy
Marine energy, also known as ocean energy, ocean power, or marine and hydrokinetic energy, refers to energy harnessed from waves, tides, salinity gradients, and temperature differences in the ocean. The movement of water in the world's oceans stores vast amounts of kinetic energy, which can be converted into…
Energy policy
Energy policies are the government's strategies and decisions regarding the production, distribution, and consumption of energy within a specific jurisdiction. Energy is essential for the functioning of modern economies because they require energy for many sectors, such as industry, transport, agriculture, housing.
Renewable energy in Ukraine
Less than 10% of energy in Ukraine is renewables. Biomass provides renewable heat.
Firmus Energy
Firmus Energy is an energy company based in Antrim, Northern Ireland. Bord Gáis had a plan to develop the gas market in Northern Ireland.
Energy Saving Trust Recommended
The Energy Saving Trust Recommended logo was a UK-based labelling and certification scheme for energy efficient products. A product that displays the logo shows that it met strict criteria on energy saving.
Energy development
Energy development is the field of activities focused on obtaining sources of energy from natural resources. These activities include the production of fossil fuel-derived, nuclear, and renewable sources of energy, and for the recovery and reuse of energy that would otherwise be wasted.
