3POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES
Introduction
Background information of the technology
Solar energy was initially used for the passive heating which influenced the design of
public buildings and homes around the world. It has been used in construction works for
centuries but its demands fell in developed countries due to the rapid increase in the usage of
fossil fuels. With the dawn of the industrial age, this technology was abandoned in lieu of
cheaper fossil fuels. Solar energy has been used to heat water in many areas where traditional
power sources are absent. Many industries still depend on solar energy for their business
applications.
William Adams discovered that electricity was generated when selenium was exposed
to light in 1876. Although usage of selenium was not efficient, it proved that light energy can
be converted into electrical energy. Calvin Fuller, Daryl Chaplin and Gerald Pearson
discovered that sufficient energy can be generated to move electrical parts without any
external power sources if selenium was replaced with silicon (Kalogirou 2013). The cost of
making these solar cells was the only hurdle in making this technology available to everyone.
With rapid innovations in the 21st century and the usage of silver wires in the circuit, the cost
has reduced sufficiently for industries to incorporate the technology I their industrial
processes.
Aim of the report
The aim of the report is written as follows:-
To investigate a sustainable technology that can minimize the effects of air pollution
To analyse the technology and justify if it can be termed as a sustainable technology
or not
