ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the case of energy economy of chemical technology for securing energy and resources. Natural resources utilization rates are more than they are replenished. Renewable resources are naturally replenished fast enough as being used. The heat energy of fuels such as oil, coal, and gas is converted into mechanical energy to rotate power generators for electricity generation. Thermal power stations are classified depending on the type of technology used to power combustion, including internal combustion engines, boilers, steam turbines, diesel engines, gas turbines, and a combination of gas and steam turbines for combined cycle power generation. To convert sunlight into power directly, a photovoltaic solar power generation system is used. Solar power is one of the many renewable energies. The kinetic energy of tides is utilized for the generation of electricity. Due to the earth’s rotation and the moon’s gravitational attraction, tidal waters surge from time to time.
